Session Title:
Product Management Leadership qualities that can make a difference!
Most of us report to someone whose job it is to deliver on the premise/promise of Product Management. What works and what doesn’t? What recommendations do we have to improve the Product Management Leadership practice and skills in our organization? Having had about a dozen bosses in my PM life, I will kick off with my own observations and open the floor for feedback from the audience?
