There are many definitions of what a product leader is and what a product leader does and there tends to be a heavy theme of strategy, building the product team and having that team rally around a common goal or vision and essentially owning the success of the product/portfolio of products for the organisation. I’d agree that these themes play a large part in successful product leadership, but there are so many other factors that drive the success of a product leader.
In this episode I am joined by Henry Latham, Founder and Lead Mentor @ ProdMBA and author of “Why your startup is failing” and we explore the concept of product leadership and our thoughts and experiences of it, In order to identify different approaches and what some of the core principles are in order to help you to think about that next step to product leadership in order to help you define who are and want to be as a product leader!
