Videocast: Moving Up into a Product Leadership Role
Mike Belsito of Product Collective hosted this half-hour live Q&A about product management organizations and careers. This is a lead-up to September’s INDUSTRY conference in Cleveland, where I will have a talk and workshop on “Moving Up into a Product Leadership Role”
We talked about:
How managing products is different from managing product teams
Skill sets for Product Leaders (and whether an MBA is required)
Can senior product managers keep doing what they love, or do they naturally get promoted?
Ways to prepare for (and signal interest in) product leadership roles
Things to do — and not do — in your first weeks as a product leader
Interest folks may also want to register for the INDUSTRY conference (Sept 23-25) and sign up for my product leadership/career planning workshop.
