Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

"Mushroom management" (keeping people in the dark) frustrates PMs through lack of information and exclusion. Fighting it directly isn't effective. Instead, PMs should leverage mushroom managers' existing strengths - like cross-functional communication and rapid decision-making - while gradually introducing transparency through data-driven insights, regular updates, and structured decision-making processes.
