This is a follow-on book to The Innovator's Dilemma, which I read last year.The Innovator's Solution by Clayton M.John Doerr presents his management system (OKRs - objectives and key results) for aligning organizations and effectively tracking progress.

As a self-proclaimed productivity geek, the author talks about his journey trying to "do it all" by optimizing his productivity through various common strategies and techniques (Pomodoro timers, Getting Things Done, etc.) before realizing that you can't "do it all" and life requires us to prioritize and choose where we want to spend our time.Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.The book turned out to be pretty standard product advice: empathize with your users, drive towards simplicity, instrument your product to measure engagement, and run experiments. However, as a product-focused machine learning engineer I'm also really interested in continuing to build my product development chops. I bought this book mainly because it was written by the CEO of one of Raleigh's latest unicorns, Pendo, and I could add it to my collection of Raleigh CEO "The _ Organization" books (see Jim Whitehurst's book on this list from 2015).The Product Led Organization by Todd Olson.
