It's been very busy days (some interesting projects coming!) so I wasn't able to send the last Weekly Retro update, but I'm back! This week I was reflecting on what makes a product leader irreplaceable. AI is reshaping roles across all industries and product management is no exception. The skills that were valued before aren't as relevant anymore. I think that the future of product leadership is about **agency and taste**. The capacity to make decisions and have strong **creative judgment** over countless options is what will separate great professionals from the average. **Healthy ambition** fuels agency. The ambition that drives you to leverage (or develop) your skills to explore new possibilities. The ambition (and courage) to constantly ask "**might this work?**" Putting agency in practice means: - **Experiment**: pick one small problem. Build something fast to solve it. Learn from the experience - **Question the "how"**: is there a different way to solve this problem? - **Stop demanding certainty**: optimize for speed of learning and **iteration**. Create a **trustful** environment where people aren't afraid of failing. People in a culture where failure is seen as a defect have no incentive to innovate. Subscribe Email sent!

The speed of iteration you get over the code, while you test it and improve it, is mind blowing. With these tools, sometimes it feels that the ideas are now becoming the constraint. The future is for the builders! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/2025/07/image-1-1.png) ### 👨🏻‍💻 Interesting links [A lush tour of Fallingwater – the Frank Lloyd Wright design that changed architecture | Aeon VideosTake a tour of Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece of organic architecture built atop a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/icon/apple-touch-icon-15.png)Aeon![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/thumbnail/inside-fallingwater-landscape-1.jpg)](https://aeon.co/videos/a-lush-tour-of-fallingwater-the-frank-lloyd-wright-design-that-changed-architecture?ref=cesarrg.com) [Using AI Right Now: A Quick GuideWhich AIs to use, and how to use them![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/icon/https-3A-2F-2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com-2Fpublic-2Fimages-2F233e9990-95ea-44ab-afc4-5abfe44f24d4-2Fapple-touch-icon-180x180.png)One Useful ThingEthan Mollick![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/thumbnail/https-3A-2F-2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com-2Fpublic-2Fimages-2Fdc7794be-9211-43a4-9b43-eb3db6b05bf3_1376x864.png)](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-right-now-a-quick-guide?ref=cesarrg.com) [glif - all prompts, no codebuild AI mini-apps and chatbots using LLMs, image generators, ComfyUI, and more![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/icon/favicon-16.ico)build AI mini-apps and chatbots using LLMs, image generators, ComfyUI, and more![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/thumbnail/preview.png)](https://glif.app/glifs?ref=cesarrg.com) **🖋️ Quote of the week** > **“Disruptive innovations create jobs, efficiency innovations destroy them.”** – Clayton Christensen ![César Rodríguez](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/2024/09/image-2.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/2024/02/CR_sign_2024-3.png) **César Rodríguez** [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/crodriguezguevara/?ref=cesarrg.com) / [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/cesarrg.blog/?ref=cesarrg.com) / [X](https://x.com/cesarrgv?ref=cesarrg.com) ****Get your weekly dose of inspiration!** 💡 Subscribe Email sent!
