𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 When it comes to building effective teams, understanding and aligning values is crucial. This could be: 🔍 Defining Team Vision: The type of team a manager wants to create reflects their core values. For instance, some managers are driven by metrics, focusing on data and performance indicators to showcase the team's value. 💡 Technical Excellence: Technical managers prioritise building strong, skilled teams to develop exceptional products. Their value lies in innovation and technical prowess, aiming to push boundaries and deliver high-quality outcomes. 🤝 People-First Approach: There are managers who believe in hiring for character and cultural fit first, and technical skills second. They value soft skills, such as communication, empathy, and collaboration, as these qualities often lead to a more harmonious and productive work environment. In summary, whether a manager is metrics-driven, technically focused, or people-first, the foundation of successful hiring lies in clearly identifying and communicating their values. #hiring #devops #manchester #values

Throughout my career, I’ve learned A LOT about hiring and building a product team. Early on, I thought I should be hiring people like me: a generalist who loves developing strategy and is skilled at User Research and Executive communication. But as we scaled our organization, I learned (painfully) that we needed the opposite. We needed technical product folks who could go deep on specific problems. We didn’t need everyone to be able to craft a strategy and present it to the CEO. That was my job. Once I understood what the organization needed, I built the best product org. of my career (shoutout to Jiajia Zhang, Eve Taylor Robinson, Jaime Bussell, Gustavo Vivanco, and Meghan Birch). What have you changed your mind about as it relates to hiring?

Product people (Product Managers, Designers, Engineers...) are builders. They are problem solvers. Purpose-driven people love solving tough social problems. Purposeful Product Managers are people for whom these two loves intersect. They are passionate about creating lasting impact and love solving complex business problems. This is a group of smart, driven, resilient people who have the potential to become Radical Change Makers. Imagine a world where more product teams pushed boundaries and looked deeper, leading their teams to serve customers with acute and unaddressed needs, or solve problems that affect populations in resource-poor areas. We will always need the herculean efforts of nonprofits and NGOs to move the needle on global issues, but those organizations would benefit from hiring more Purposeful product folks to apply their problem-solving techniques from within. #radicalchangemakers #productinnovation #socialinnovation

I will be hiring a senior product manager soon. If you know someone who is a good fit for these criteria please comment so I can connect with them. Preview: 1) Do you have experience and enjoy working in early-stage companies?  2) Have you implemented and run a product discovery process? 3) Would you be interested in working with me? Are you sure? :) 4) Would like to help businesses and work on a truly mission-driven team?

Yes! The retrogression seems to be over in the tech World/space and a lot more new employments have happened and many will be resuming offices. There would be that initial apprehension of “How do I start or where do I start from in this new office?” I want to show you some tips that can help you ease into your new office as you resume your dream job 😊 So the question is “What should a seasoned Product Manager do on resuming a new office?” A seasoned Product Manager should focus on building relationships with team members, understanding the company culture, and conducting a thorough analysis of existing products and processes to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, collaborating with key stakeholders and setting clear communication channels will contribute to a successful transition into the new office.

The key to building a rockstar team? Avoid rushing into hiring Senior Product Managers too quickly! Here's why: 1️⃣ Get to know your existing team's strengths and weaknesses. Bringing in a senior too fast might disrupt the balance! 2️⃣ Allow your team to grow together. Hiring too fast might skip crucial learning and development opportunities for your existing talent. 3️⃣ Seniors often bring their own culture. Make sure it aligns with yours for a seamless integration. 4️⃣ Your current team might have hidden gems. Give them a chance to shine before looking externally. #ProductManagement #Product #Hiring
