Why It's On My Shelf
Leadership behavior is the focus here, not frameworks or tools. Cagan and Jones make it clear that empowered teams only exist when executives change how they set goals, allocate decision rights, and measure success. This book is most valuable for CIOs and CTOs who want product teams to own results, not just delivery.
