132: The Secrets of Leading Impactful Product Teams

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.

* I talk about the Minimum Viable Product Knowledge in several episodes, the most recent of which is episode 127, “A Repeatable Sales Process And Why You Don’t Have One.“

* My podcast episode on building psychological safety in your team and a great interview I did with Mehmet Baha, an expert on psychological safety.
