Navigating through a career in product management comes with its own unique set of challenges. Let me share my personal top three. 1️⃣ People Over Pixels: Building a great product is not just about code; it's about collaborating with hundreds of amazing, unique individuals. Balancing their perspectives to create something outstanding is like conducting an orchestra. 2️⃣ Juggling Giants: Imagine developing not just one, but multiple HUGE products from scratch. It's like building miniature Rome every day, and yes, sometimes it does feel like it's built in a day. 3️⃣ Tough Love: Being in leadership isn't all about cheerleading. Sometimes, it means making tough calls and challenging your team to bring out their best. It's a tightrope walk between empathy and expectation. If you're in the #ProductManagement or #Leadership sphere, what challenges keep you on your toes? Share your thoughts below, and let's build a resourceful thread. #productmanagement #careers #personaldevelopment

1yGreat overview Thilo Schinke. 👉 I would add stakeholder management, especially when you work on products which come with a preset of stakeholders you didn´t chose yourself. They can be a tough crowd to convince.
