Mødeledermoderator

Mødeledermoderator is a term used in Danish- and Norwegian-speaking contexts to describe a person who serves as both the meeting leader and the moderator, guiding the conduct of a meeting and facilitating discussion. The word combines møde (meeting), leder (leader), and moderator (moderator). In practice, it designates a role tasked with achieving meeting objectives while maintaining neutral, inclusive facilitation.

Responsibilities include setting the agenda in collaboration with participants; starting and closing the meeting; introducing topics; keeping to time; guiding discussion with structured methods to ensure participation from all voices; summarizing statements; clarifying decisions; and recording action items and owners. In online or hybrid settings, the mødeledermoderator may also handle basic technical aspects such as muting, screen sharing, and room management.

Key skills include clear communication, neutrality, active listening, conflict management, and the ability to structure discussions. Familiarity with facilitation techniques, meeting frameworks, and decision-making processes (for example consensus or majority voting) is common. Many professionals enhance competence through formal facilitation training or experience in process design.

Usage varies by organization and language. Some setups keep a separate "mødeleder" and "moderator," while others assign one person to both roles. The term is not a strictly standardized professional title, but a descriptive label for a role that combines leadership of the meeting with neutral moderation.
