About this episode

How do you ensure your product or service keeps its edge as you scale? This is a huge challenge many founders of a fast-growing company face as they start to see some success. Marty Cagan, founder of the Silicon Valley Product Group, argues leaders must learn how to empower their teams to solve customer problems (on their own) or risk losing their product mojo. The author, speaker and tech-industry product maker—who’s known for helping some of the world’s most successful companies build products—unpacks the problem-solving principles crucial to designing effective teams and products that win big in the marketplace.
