Empowered Teams, Clear Outcomes: How to Lead with Alignment (Not Chaos)
Empowered teams aren’t born—they’re built.
And no, shouting “You’re empowered!” across Slack isn’t the way to do it.
In this episode, Lisa Hagen and Chris Kincanon, co-founders of Be Ready Steady, join me to unpack the truth behind high-performing teams—and it starts with clarity, guardrails, and cross-functional trust.
✅ The real reason “empowerment” fails in most organizations
✅ How to create guardrails that fuel creativity instead of stifling it
✅ Why clear goals and tighter feedback loops are your secret weapon
✅ What happens when teams chase shiny objects without strategic alignment
✅ How to support high-performers without burning them out
Lisa and Chris blend their decades of experience in engineering and product leadership to deliver a masterclass on building better systems, supporting people, and scaling smarter—not faster.
🔊 Tune in to learn how to create a team that thrives, even when everything is shifting around them.
