About this webinar
Too many leaders who want empowered teams end up stuck in endless small decisions, or step so far back that teams feel abandoned. Neither works.
An empowered organization operates differently from a traditional. Teams that are empowered have all the skills needed to make decisions on both what to build and how, in order to meet the goals of the organization.
This also means that being a leader in an empowered organization is very different from being a leader in a traditional setup.
This free 60-minute webinar is for leaders who want to enable true empowerment and increase engagement - without losing alignment and focus. We’ll explore what it really means to be a leader in an empowered organization, and how you can avoid those traps.
What you will learn
- Provide strategic context so teams understand the goals and business outcomes they are driving toward
- Shape a system of work, or operating model, that allows empowered teams to flourish
- Create an environment where people and teams can grow - through culture, engagement, psychological safety, and coaching

Frequently asked questions
Is this webinar free?
Yes, completely free. We offer this as an introduction to leadership in empowered organizations.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is designed for leaders at any level who want to enable true team empowerment: CPOs, CTOs, VPs, Heads of Product, Engineering Managers, Development Managers, and anyone responsible for creating an environment where empowered teams can thrive.
What's the difference between leading an empowered organization vs. a traditional one?
In traditional organizations, leaders make decisions and teams execute. In empowered organizations, teams have the skills and authority to decide both what to build and how. This requires a fundamentally different leadership approach focused on context, systems, and culture rather than direct control.
I want to empower my teams but I'm not sure where to start. Will this help?
Yes. We'll cover practical approaches to providing strategic context, shaping your operating model, and creating an environment where people and teams can grow. You'll leave with concrete ideas you can apply.
My teams say they want more autonomy, but then struggle when I step back. What's going wrong?
This is a common pattern we'll address. Often, teams need more context, clearer goals, or better support systems before they can operate autonomously. We'll discuss how to build the foundation that enables real empowerment.
How long is the webinar?
60 minutes, including time for Q&A.
Will there be time for questions?
Yes, we reserve time at the end for Q&A. You can also submit questions via chat during the session.
Who is presenting?
Mikael Brodd, who has extensive experience helping leadership teams at companies ranging from scale-ups to enterprises. He's worked with organizations like Klarna, H&M, and Telenor on strategy and leadership development.
Will I get a recording?
