First, I did not know how to frame, develop and present product strategy in a systematic way, and second, as a startup, my company has not historically had a good track record of strategy being developed outside of senior management (read: founder).

Once you discover what the root problem is, you lead a team to making the solution a reality. As a product manager you prep, plan and execute.
