At the heart of consistently innovative tech giants such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla lies a secret not found in the talent they hire but in how their people are empowered to solve complex problems and craft extraordinary products. 'Empowered: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Products' extends the framework laid out in the bestseller 'INSPIRED' and provides a hands-on blueprint to business leaders in product management, design, or engineering. Authored by industry veterans Marty Cagan and Chris Jones, the book emphasizes the necessity of leadership that nurtures the inherent greatness in every team member, fostering an environment ripe for innovation. It outlines the stark differences between empowered product teams and traditional 'feature teams,' and offers strategic guidance on recruiting, coaching, and incentivizing team members to reach their potential. The book also navigates the intricacies of creating visionary product strategies, translating them into actionable objectives, and reshaping company dynamics to accommodate truly capable product teams. 'Empowered' encapsulates decades-worth of insights from tech luminaries, guiding you to become the transformative leader your team and company need to thrive in a competitive arena.
