Product Mastery Podcast: Building Influence as a Product Leader

Product Mastery Podcast: Building Influence as a Product Leader

Dr. Chad McAllister brought me onto his long-running podcast to talk about top challenges for product leaders and their broader organizational context. In a rapid-fire conversation, we covered:

  • First principles for product leaders
  • Speaking the language of executives
  • Building trust - by showing progress rather than lecturing about process
  • Merchandizing product-side wins and recognizing cross-functional talent
  • Team structures
  • My favorite quote from Pam Fox Rollin

That day, I was talking at New York speeds... you may need to listen at 0.75x. 🫤

Podcast is here (37 minutes) and Chad's summary blog is here. His well-regarded training - tiered by seniority - is here.
