Empowered

Marty Cagan

Why I recommend it

Strong product teams need information, trust, and authority to solve problems. This book looks at what leaders need to do to make that possible.

What it changed in my thinking

Asking a team to own a result means giving them room to make decisions and the support to make good ones.

Who it’s useful for

Product and technology leaders, founders, and managers.

A tension or limitation

Autonomy still needs direction. A team without a clear strategy can end up responsible for everything and supported in very little.
