What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it’s because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products. As legendary Silicon Valley coach–and coach to the founders of several of today’s leading tech companies–Bill Campbell said, “Leadership is about recognizing that there’s a greatness in everyone, and your job is to create an environment where that greatness can emerge.” The goal of EMPOWERED is to provide you, as a leader of product management, product design, or engineering, with everything you’ll need to create just such an environment.

Dual Transformation
In Dual Transformation, innovation and growth consultant Scott Anthony and his coauthors, Clark Gilbert and Mark Johnson, propose a practical and sustainable approach to one of the greatest challenges facing leaders today: transforming your business in the face of imminent disruption.

3 minutes of excellence
Kundecentret har kun ganske få minutter til at brillere – til at give kunden den excellente service, der sikrer, at han eller hun tilfreds går ud i verden med et godt indtryk af din virksomhed. De få minutters møde med kunden er de afgørende. Hvis de ikke fungerer optimalt, er alt andet i kundecentret – og meget af det, der foregår i virksomheden i øvrigt – ligegyldigt. Flotte kanalanalyser, strategier, avancerede IT-løsninger og fi ne markedsføringstiltag er nytteløse, hvis ikke medarbejderne i hvert eneste møde med kunden skaber kundetilfredshed, bedre image og øget omsætning.

The Lean Manager
The Lean Manager: A Novel of Lean Transformation, by lean experts Michael and Freddy Ballé, addresses the critical problem that most companies face today: how can they advance beyond realizing isolated gains from deploying lean tools, to fundamentally changing how they operate, think, and learn? The book gives companies a definitive guide for sustaining their ability to learn and to improve operations and financial performance, while continually developing people. “The only way to stay lean is to produce lean managers,” says Jim Womack, author, lean management authority, and LEI founder. “Every isolated effort will recede — or fail — unless companies learn to use the lean process as a way of developing individual problem-solvers with the ownership, initiative, and know-how to solve problems, learn, and coach new individuals.” The Lean Manager, the sequel to the Ballé’s international bestselling business novel The Gold Mine, tells the compelling story of plant manager Andrew Ward as h
