Design Leadership Demystified

UX/Design leadership is far more than managing creative teams — it is about effectively managing change.

Peter Merholz has been active in digital design and product for 25 years, most notably in building the premier UX consultancy Adaptive Path. He co-wrote Org Design for Design Orgs (O'Reilly), the first book focused on the organizational, managerial, and operational challenges of building in-house design teams.
