One of the most practical career guidance books I’ve ever read. Discusses topics ranging from how to be a good servant leader to the skills required for a product managers. Need to distill into notes.

I got this book thinking I was going to know more about how to build top-notch products, but instead I got an eye opener story about leadership, healthy work environments and how these elements create the foundation to deliver premium solutions. And that of course applies to every single department within a company, but here -when you have to influence without any power- recruitment, training and "attention to the person behind the employee" are critical to create cohesive, committed and passionate teams.
A great reading on pushing the business boundaries while keeping and nurturing healthy, transparent and safe work spaces.
At the end, great products come from great people.

It's not a bad book, but it's probably best for people who either a) are starting as a product manager for the first time or b) someone who want's to hire or understand the value of a product manager. If you're already a product leader, owner og manager, there's other books that give more direct value.

It's hard to get very specific about the actual work of PM but this is the best attempt I've read. Great attention to the soft skill side of the job. The first half is stronger than the second.

A solid overview with some useful insights from product managers in small and large companies. Could benefit from more practical advice for implementation.

As always this book could have been half that long and give you the same info. But they don't try to sell you anything after you finish reading the book so that's good!
What you should keep from the book is in the afterward:
- Make it valuable, feasible and usable
- Maintain a learner's mindset
- Think outside the box
- Embrace change
- Stay humble

The mark of a successful career advice/strategy book is how many pages I've folded the corner of to come back to later and there's lots in this volume on running Digital Product teams. Wide range of interviews and examples, my only criticism would be (and this based on personal need) wanting more on working enterprise/traditional orgs.
