How can you get your team to get excited and feel as though his or her contribution to the project is just as important as everyone else's? The answer is in empowering them. You, as the leader, need to be able to read your team members quickly to figure out their strengths, weaknesses, and who they work well with.

A key characteristic to successful empowerment of others is to understand their personality.
