This book is very practical for someone who is looking for a PM position. Not only at Amazon, but any company.
I would also adopt this clear framework to my company to ship products more efficiently. Hence, contribute more to the society.
I felt that this is it! This is the kind of job that would bring out all in me, even more than management consulting. How about you? Is this also what you wanna do?
