That VP of Product Management Is A Rockstar

• cstovall 12y ago
  By nature I primarily work independently,(aka: an "Introvert")which doesn't need "tooting-ones-own-horn". However after reading your article it was as if I was reading my very own personal philosophy..."Some of the best product leaders I’ve met seem to manage their teams effortlessly. They push without forcing, inspire without dictating, and generate loyalty without playing favorites. They demonstrate discipline while also knowing exactly when to not follow the process—all while leaving their egos at the door." Only after hearing the expressions of appreciation repeatedly from my team, did i understand I have successfully managed people! I didn't know. But they did come to work feeling respected for the professionals that I knew they were and hired to be. Myself, always thought my roles were "Project" as every new opportunity I've viewed. But because I've been driven by "the product", and communicated, I am changing my LinkedIn "brand" to "product" manager. THANK YOU! YOUR words were confirmation for me,(introvert and extrovert sides). So I am humbly stating that yes, I would believe I am a good Product Manager; having had to wear my "Extrovert" hat. (did i mention I am a loyal follower of AHA! :-) Respectfully, thank you for the opportunity! Carla S.
