Empowered

A book about product leadership rather than product work. Cagan and Jones argue that the difference between strong and weak product organisations lies in the manager's job of coaching and staffing, and they spend most of the book on those two duties. You get a competency model for assessing people, a pattern for weekly one to ones, guidance on writing a product strategy that focuses teams, and the practice of handing teams problems with measurable outcomes. Written for the people who lead the teams described in Inspired.
