SEPTEMBER 29, 2020
Here’s the universal truth about insurance: you buy it, but you hope you never actually have to use it. We treat insurance as a necessary evil for this reason.

Product Management Skills: Influence Without Authority
The Product Coalition
SEPTEMBER 29, 2020
Anyone familiar with Product Management will recognize the immortal phrase ‘influence without authority.’ As a Product Manager, you’re a team player who guides product development along its chartered course, but you have to do that without being the literal captain of the ship.
