<font face="helvetica">Food for Reflection:<br><br>
The first use that I know of, of the term and concept of empowerment, was
in 1968 by Rev. Leonard Campos, who referred to it as creating a process
(space?) in which a person or group of persons are able to develop their
own power. <br><br>
Somewhere along the line it got changed from a reflexive to a transitive
verb and that was never the original idea as I understood it and it
certainly was never meant to be a synonym of "delegate", as it
is used nowadays in the jargon of modern OD fads.<br><br>
Warm regards,<br><br>
