Thanks everyone who attended this session. It was a pleasure and honor to lead this discussion. Be sure to get your free electronic copy of "The Phenomenal Product Manager" book from the 280 Group. Follow the link to download it. Description Why are some product leaders more successful than others creating great products? Leadership is a critical success factor for building great products customers love. Product leaders understand the difference between management and leadership. Both are needed to deliver outstanding products. If your goal is to become an exceptional product leader within your organization, or land a promotion with a new company you need to prove to your superiors and prospective employers that you have the passion, skills and abilities to effectively lead teams. So, how can you gain all of these critical leadership skills when there's no formal educational path? This session shares nine insights to help you become an exceptional product leader. Contact Hector if you are looking for an engaging speaker and topic for your next group meeting. Connect with Hector and let him know how he can help you become an exceptional product leader or grow your people into a high performing product team.
