To have high competence human resource which is appropriate with the need of organization and to be able to manage the organization appropriately will create high valued innovation. An effort to make a condusive condition for the employees in organization so that they can contribute optimally, management team should work harder. Increasing activity of the firm as a result of the change in business environment will make management should increase their control on the employees' activities.

In reality, there are many organization which have employee empowerment fail to get the optimal result because they are not concern to skill, ability, knowledge and attitude of the employees and of course it will affect to the result of the empowerment itself. Besides, the level of the employees and certain condition are needed such as structure and culture support in order to reach an optimal result of this concept's implementation. However, it does not mean if all conditions above are being satisfied then empowering will be success, because this implementation means there is a process of change that should be done by the employees their selves. To change the employees' attitude is not an easy thing. For those things the change in mindset of the employees should be done appropriately, so that with this empowering mindset will make the implementation of empowerment become easier.
