Fireside chat with Marty Cagan and Malte Feller [18 SEP 2025]

What resonated?

Top 3 sound bites from the fireside chat with Marty Cagan and Malte Feller last Thursday night…

  1. Empowered teams don’t need less leadership; they need better leadership

  2. Using AI as a thought partner is awesome; delegating your thinking to AI tools isn’t so much

  3. Customers rarely leave us because of a competitor; it’s because we stopped taking care of them

With thanks

It was great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones on the night. Thanks goes to Product Tank Sydney and Atlassian for hosting!

P.S.

The first sound bite is near and dear to my heart. If you’re a product or transformation leader and you want to be a better leader for your empowered teams, let’s work on this together. Here are three ways:

  • Influencing for Impact: This practical 2-day workshop is for you if you want to influence a decision maker, influence a change in customer or colleague behaviour, or influence someone to buy something from you

  • Executive and Leadership Team Coaching: Work directly with Lai-Ling to problem solve for your specific situation in a confidential setting. This is for you if you want to develop and execute on a game plan that is 100% tailored to you

  • Leadership Development: Invest in the product and transformation leaders in your company with leadership development that is customised for their role. This is for you if you want your people to learn about people and politics
