This is why I gave up reading product management books years ago. They all define a role that doesn’t exist, only in theories, our daily job is far away from that.

I felt that all these books put pressure on us - “you can change the culture", "you should show them how to do this right”.
But being good in product and being able to drive organisational changes are 2 very different things.
But being good in product and being able to drive organisational changes are 2 very different things.
I realized this difference when I was a freelance PM for a while. I was involved in projects which had nothing to do with thinking about the product - we focused on how to transform the product organisation in order to be able to build the right product.
I was/am also involved in projects where I actually have to think about what the right product is.
There is a massive difference between the two.
Most classic PM books only teach you about how to create the right product, but lack support in how to drive changes in the org.

If there are any books which are useful on this topic, please let me know. Maybe I was not too lucky with my picks earlier. :)
