You will have to fight for your right of empowerment: this is called, Liberty.
You always want empowerment over something valuable. This is something you might term a core competency, whether actual or envisioned.

Where does radical empowerment come from? In its most basic form, empowerment comes from God. You are capable because God made it possible. For this reason, Joel Osteen, popular pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, says you should trust in God and look for the best in people. Empowerment is possible because others will help. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to Christians so they can help each other do well at everything they do. These statements put in sharp relief the common belief that you can do something great on your own. No synergistic team works this way.
