Leading Product
Written by François de Bodinat
Chapter 01
When There’s No Right Answer
How to decide when data conflicts, incentives don’t align, and waiting becomes a decision.
Saying No Without Cover
How to say no when alignment is partial, authority unclear, and there’s no air cover above.
Owning Trade-offs That Hurt
How to own trade-offs that create winners and losers, and live with consequences.
Leading Under Constraints
How to steer when the org is imperfect, the process incomplete, and politics shape real outcomes.
Speaking to Power Clearly
How to frame decisions in the language of power when the room is tense and credibility matters.
When Everything Collapses
How to carry responsibility when escalation fails, consensus breaks down, and clarity disappears
Ready to Lead?
This book is for you if you are a CPO, Head of Product, or senior leader under real pressure, making decisions that can’t be delegated, escalated, or solved by process.
This book is less for you if you’re mainly looking for frameworks, templates, or “best practices”, rather than owning the hard calls.
