Like a team ceo. I strongly believe this person should be responsible for a teams success or failure. Grant this person the right to hire/fire members of various disciplines. Tell this person to chase certain revenue numbers or another mission. Give this person the bonus money/product dividends to share with the team. I believe all this will drive this person to really build a team, instead of just managing it.
But demote them to smaller projects when they fail to deliver. And allow team members to apply to work for a different team if they trust the team ceo there more. Like an internal startup environment but teams. This is how I would try relentlessly to structure my company.
This should only be the case if the _team_ can fire a failing manager.
Maybe that is the other approach. No manager, no product person and no project manager, just a team that is fully responsible for outcomes.
