An empowered organisation is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organisational success.

This quote means that in an empowered organisation, everyone within the organisation has the knowledge, skills, motivation, and resources to help their own personal goals, as well as contribute to the success of the organisation as a whole. It is important that the individual is respected and all employees have the ability to make decisions that will lead to the greater success of the organisation. The success of the organisation is desired and achievable when each individual has the knowledge and opportunity to succeed.
