A Fieldguide to Product Team Dysfunction: Turning the Anti-Patterns That Hold You Back Into Fuel for Flourishing.
A blunt but optimistic take on the hidden dysfunctions that quietly stack up in product organisations, creating burnt out product people, high-turnover teams and low par products. Anti-Product names a whole host of the anti-patterns everyone feels but aren’t so often faced and fixed, then shows how to flip them from misery into momentum.

About The Author
Tim Kim is a Barcelona based product leader, systems thinker, and autistic pattern-spotter who’s seen inside over 50 product orgs — from scrappy startups to mega-funded unicorns to innovation labs stuck in the suck of it.
With 25 years building digital products that sometimes fly and sometimes faceplant, he’s a full-time product geek with a sharp eye for the patterns that shape how teams really work. This book is his field guide to the dysfunctions that quietly (and not-so-quietly) wreck teams and progress — and how to turn them into fuel for flourishing.
