Leading impactful product teams
If you’re a product leader, then you probably have a few goals for yourself and your team:
- Having a big impact on the business.
- Increasing sales, revenue, and profits.
- Perhaps you aspire to be a gifted, charismatic leader.
But what if the team isn’t meeting the potential? It’s not having the impact you want and that you know it could have.
In this episode: how to make product management teams more impactful. This isn’t about being a better manager per se. It’s about managing PM teams specifically.
