You have to learn to empower people, to give your employees an opportunity to make the right decisions. Especially if you work in a big company and supervise a big group of people. Change is eminent. Change is important. But if you run companies you have to provide your team members with an incentive. Incentive is vital. Reward is vital. So that the smart people work for you, you have to know how to reward them right” – Miller said.
