We're moving beyond rituals and roles toward something deeper: clarity of purpose, empowered teams, and leadership that adapts without losing its center.

This issue brings you four powerful signals from that shift:
A sharp vision for modern product teams.
Insights from Amazon and Anthropic on leadership and AI.
A new path for practical, applied learning.
And a reminder that stillness isn't the absence of action — it's the foundation for better decisions.

Let's build smarter. Lead with focus. And stay grounded in what really matters.

Practice-Oriented Learning for Product Owners
