Thanks for checking out our new book! In today’s fast moving world good product management is quickly becoming critical to building and maintaining a sustainable competitive advantage, and we were fascinated by the unique challenges that product leaders face. To write the book we interviewed 75+ of the world's top product managers - from startups to enterprises - to uncover and share their insights into how to launch great products and build successful product teams. As Ken Norton from GV says in his foreword “This book will be your guide to navigating product leadership, the one I never had. Within its pages you’ll hear a diversity of opinions from the industry’s most successful and respected product leaders, insights that will help you lead your team and deliver exceptional products.” Happy to answer any questions you may have!

@junglepatrol looks like that's a definite yes - we're just not sure when... trying to find out!

@bfgmartin amazing work. Any chance to send a copy to Cuba?

This book looks fantastic, @bfgmartin! Regarding launching & building successful teams, what do you think PMs need to learn most about? Is there anything I can contribute to my PMs efforts to set up our product team for success as a designer?

@kunalslab Thanks Kunal! One of main things we outline in the book is that the most important skills to learn are soft skills - and ironically they are the hardest to learn. Great product management and especially product leadership is all about people - empathising with your customer and stakeholders, communicating a vision, and bringing together the team around that vision - all soft skills!

After reading it, immediately ordered copies for our Product team and execs. Already putting it to use. Absolute must-read for leaders in technology in software and hardware.

@rikvandonselaar I'm afraid that's out of our hands! If we'd self-published we definitely would have...

Just ordered mine on Amazon.
Matt Horton
This looks awesome! I'm a Jr PM figuring all of this out. I struggle to define my own role a lot of the time, much less explain it to my teams who aren't sure of what a product manager even is. Do you think this will help with those problems?
Martin Eriksson
Maker
@mattahorton I think it would still be pretty useful on the team and stakeholder management aspect at least - for some of the day-to-day job of a product manager this isn't the right book though!
Morgan Brown
Ordered! Looks amazing ✊

Audiobook version read by Stephen Fry? Jk, buying my copy now – curious how many product companies interviewed are software vs. hardgoods. Excited to read and share!
Richard Banfield
Maker
@oliveargyle Yes! Fry for the win.
Marco Hauptmann
@rmbanfield Will there be an audio version?
Richard Banfield
Maker
@marco_hauptmann It's very possible. Trying to work out the details with O'Reilly. We might have to self-publish the audio, but it would make sense.
Michael Skircak
Just got mine today. Excited to start reading!

I'm excited to check out this book!

Kindle copy is more expensive than physical copy??
Martin Eriksson
Maker
@gerbz Someone's already undercutting Amazon on the physical book!
Lindsay Bayuk
Excited to get my copy!

You should do a reading tour. We're happy to have you at Postmates!

I've been waiting for this book for months! I already know this will become a classic and a regular tool I pull out in times of need!

What made this book so different, and ultimately so enjoyable to write, was we approached it as a curiosity project. We didn't pretend to have all the answers, we simply asked the world's best product leaders all the head-scratching questions all of us have. Their answers and the journeys they took to discover those answers are the core of this book. We hope you enjoy their stories, hard-won lessons and advice as much as we enjoyed discovering them. Please let us know if you have questions or tweet us if you would like to share something with the product community. We also would love to see your reviews on Amazon. Thank you!

We are eating it up here at iGlobal Stores.
