Many product managers I talk to perfectly understand what product management is about and see the flows of other organizations. But they struggle to influence others. And their status in the workplace doesn't correspond to their potential. Here are 5 tactics you can use to change that situation:
My general recommendation for building relationships with key stakehokders: Focus on helping them grow and being promoted. To do so, you will need to understand their true needs and goals.
Thanks, Marcin. I agree. I used that tactic in the past, although it was not planned and just happened naturally. People I worked with later became my best friends and advocates in the organization. Some of them left recommendations under my LN profile ;)
The first thing I do with new hires, from any part of the org, is sit down with them and explain “how we make money”. Everything links back to that in some way, but most people are too afraid to ask for a simple explanation
Very helpful points. I have made the same experience of subconsciously "using" these techniques kind of intuitively- reading about them in a structured way helps to reflect on them in a deeper way.👍👍

Love it. For some reason some seem to live in a parallel reality where the topic doesn't exist.
