No cheating. Answer this. And then read the 5 Dysfunctions book. Wonderful book for sure. Better still, the audiobook version.

If I can recommend only 1 book, it would have to be Never Split the Difference. (assuming that one has already read and internalized The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

Highly recommend their book.

The Courage to be Disliked The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Both are great books, and are especially great in audio format.

8/ Understanding Michael Porter: the first book you should read on strategy, esp. if you’re in B2B. A fabulous, accessible summary of Michael Porter’s timeless strategy frameworks. Another book I recommend very often to B2B founders and product leaders

7/ Inspired: the first book you should read on Product Management, with practical advice on what it means to “create tech products that customers live”. Especially recommended for B2B companies that want to become more product-focused

6/ Obviously Awesome: a practical guide on positioning your product. Includes the importance of positioning, identifying your core value propositions, articulating your positioning in ways it is actionable for your team and clear for your customers

The Advantage is such a superb book for leaders.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective PMs: 1) Be proactive 2) Begin with the end in mind 3) Put first things first 4) Think win-win 5) First understand, then seek to be understood 6) Teamwork & creative cooperation 7) Continuous improvement Basically, the habits in the classic book.

Just finished Working Backwards. Superb book, with deep insights on how to operate. Unlike most books in this genre, it isn’t just a bunch of fun (but unactionable) stories about a mega-success. Very easily in my list of top 5 books for product leaders.

Really good book
