We're exploring the false dichotomy between being good at your job and being seen as valuable by leadership!

The framework for this conversation was an eye-opening yet brutally honest post about the tactics one product manager claims to use to advance his career without delivering real impact. 

We ask, "is success about making an impact or just being seen as valuable," while we explore the tactics described in the article:

• Focusing on vision while ignoring execution
• Using positivity to mask problems
• Avoiding accountability
• Dealing with the Inevitable burnout

Whether you're a product manager, leader, or team member, you won't want to miss our conversation around building sustainable career success without sacrificing integrity.
