“When you start as a product manager, things can be much more defined. We’re building this, figuring out how we go about building that…As you move up, there’s more work around stakeholder management and making decisions with a lot of ambiguity.” It was such a pleasure to speak with Sandy Huang of GoodRx about her career journey and her advice for aspiring product leaders. Sandy talked about the importance of finding your “superpower” and suggested aligning career goals to a personal North Star. #ProductManagement #ProductManagementLeadership Link in the 1st comment 👇

A GENTLE REMINDER FOR ALL THE PRODUCT MANAGERS OUT THERE "The ambiguity of the product management role is near to its essence." As product managers/owners/officers, we often find ourselves in a space filled with uncertainty and ambiguity. This isn't a flaw; it's a feature. The very nature of our role requires us to navigate through undefined territories, bridging gaps between different departments, and aligning diverse perspectives towards a common goal. Embracing this ambiguity allows us to be adaptable, innovative, and proactive in solving complex problems. It's in these gray areas that we find opportunities to define clear strategies, drive product vision, and ultimately create value. So, if you ever feel like you don't know what you're doing, don't worry __ none of us do 😅  #ProductManagement #Leadership #Innovation

This week, we participated in Product Ops Summit in Amsterdam organized by Product-Led Alliance! It was so eye-opening to see how different each company’s needs and structures (as well as responsibilities) are, still, everyone agrees on the same goal - enabling Product Managers to make QUICK and QUALITATIVE decisions. ⚡ For me, the biggest value was to share experience in different approaches to building up a new team, hiring tendencies and solutions for Product communication & roadmaps. Empowered, capable and aligned - this is how Product Managers have to feel with the help of POps! Bringing back new ideas to Hostinger! #productmanagement #productoperations #leadership

My client called me and said, 'Annett, I think it's time for me to be a #productleader. Is my company the right one for this move?' 🤔 He had been working in senior product management roles for the last five years. His goal was to step up as a Product Leader with people management responsibilities, moving from delivering products to leading a team of product managers. Faced with his company’s ongoing reorganization, he was unsure whether to stay or find leadership opportunities elsewhere. That was the reason he reached out to me to coach him through this decision-making process and transition into product leadership. I proposed a hybrid coaching strategy given the unstable company environment. We developed a goal-oriented career roadmap that focused on advancing his influence within the company, while also working out an effective and manageable networking strategy to leverage opportunities outside his current organization. A major milestone was choosing a strategic initiative, which helped him stand out and demonstrate his leadership potential in front of key stakeholders in the company. We worked on improving his communication and presentation skills, which had a major impact on his authority both inside the company and externally. Last week, he called me, telling me that he was offered a Product Director role in his current company. He was extremely happy because this position had people management responsibilities and was based on the strategic initiative he had been leading. This was exactly what he had been looking for all along. Are you ready to elevate your career and step into a product leadership role like my client did?
