​​Empathy is very important! You have to be willing and able to put yourself in the shoes of your customers. And since "your customers" is actually everyone in the organization, as well as the people who buy and evaluate your product, you have to be very flexible, and be able to hold multiple viewpoints in mind at the same time. Along with this, you need to be very flexible, mentally.

Today, every company has to be a product company. In the old days, you could dominate by owning distribution or by spending the most on marketing and advertising. You could win with scale and cut off your competition that way. Today, upstarts compete with incumbents not on the basis of distribution or marketing spend but product and the customer experience.

A common saying in the valley when describing the product manager role is that we are the “CEO” of the product. Let’s assume that is the intended role of the product manager. What would you then encompass as part of your role? The answer is anything and everything that is needed to get the product out the door and keep your users happy. Easier said than done of course.

Early in my career as a product manager, I remember being introduced to the process of user research in a way that made it seem like a monumental undertaking. A typical user research cycle looked like this: write up an agenda. draft an invite email template. find an analyst to help pull a list of user emails. send the emails. deal with email threading to schedule calls. deal with cancellations and rescheduling. write notes. juggle payments.

When I think of partnership, many examples come to mind, across many disciplines – tennis, criminal investigation, entrepreneurship and movie production, to name a few.

That brings us to some fundamental questions – How do we outline a strategy?
