We often see job descriptions for a “Rock Star” Product Leader. But – what does this really mean – and what do rock star behaviors have to do with successful product leadership?
In this interactive, session you’ll learn from my double life experience as both a product leader and musician working with many of the top names in popular music to learn how actual rock stars and their bands work as a team to deliver their best product – and how this can help all of us be our best.
Real world examples from my work with the Zac Brown, Coral Reefer, Silver Bullet and Allman Brothers Bands, top Motown acts, The Rolling Stones, Night Ranger, Santana, Steely Dan, Toto, Earth Wind and Fire, Michael McDonald and more will help you understand their best practices and how they directly translate to Product team leadership best practices.
You will leave this session energized and ready to transfer best practices from your favorite side hustle to your work in Product leadership.
