Why This Book
When they made the transition from PM to Director, the resources available were lacking. Most product books focus on tactical PM skills—writing PRDs, running experiments, prioritizing backlogs. Very few address the strategic and leadership challenges that come with product leadership.
This book is the guide they wish they'd had. It's a distillation of everything learned from years of mistakes, successes, and mentorship—the frameworks, mindsets, and hard-won lessons that come from doing the job.
Philosophy
- Practical over theoretical. Every framework in this book has been battle-tested in real organizations.
- Strategy requires execution. Great slides don't ship. Great teams do.
- People first. Your job is to build the team that builds great products.
- Simplicity wins. The best process is the one your team actually uses.
