Disempowerment from over-empowerment occurs when individuals are given excessive autonomy or responsibility without adequate support, resources, or preparation to handle the demands. While empowerment aims to build confidence, self-efficacy, and the ability to make meaningful choices, over-empowerment can overwhelm individuals, leading to feelings of isolation, inadequacy, or burnout. This phenomenon often arises when expectations exceed an individual's capacity, creating pressure to succeed without the tools or guidance needed to do so effectively. Instead of fostering growth, over-empowerment can erode confidence and hinder decision-making, leaving individuals feeling disoriented or unsupported. Balancing empowerment requires providing a foundation of resources, mentorship, and a supportive environment, ensuring that autonomy is accompanied by the means to navigate challenges successfully. By recognizing the potential for disempowerment through over-empowerment, systems and leaders can create a more sustainable approach to fostering growth and resilience, ensuring individuals feel capable and supported in their empowered roles.
