How To Get Great Clients - Alignment First - Expectations SecondWes Chyrchel
Often you will hear, when talking about clients, is that you need to “set expectations,” but if the business approach, development process and overall values between you and the client aren’t aligned, the project will be a disaster.

How to engage your client, really understand their business and make more money in the process. I guarantee, this will change how you do Web Development.

Follow the Money - How to Speak to Executives about AgileAgileThought
When agile transformations fail, many agilists blame their executives for not caring about or understanding agile. However, few people focus on the different languages that IT and business people speak, and the different outcomes that both sides desire. Rather than blaming each other, what is needed is more empathy for the results that others care about and more understanding of the languages that others speak. Steven Granese will share his stories from working with executives while leading their agile transformations. He will describe how to explain agile using the language of executives: business outcomes and financial results. You will leave with a new appreciation for communicating with executives. Get ready to realize that you've been advocating for and evangelizing agile all wrong!

MDM Executive Briefing, Feb. 2014: Creating an Effortless Customer Experience...jenelatmdm

Career Path by TalentGuard transforms how employee development is managed in the work environment. Employees are looking at careers in new ways. For them, it has become less about ascending methodically from job to job within a single company until the corner office is theirs. Instead of climbing the corporate career ladder — vertical and inflexible — employees are navigating career lattices. Career lattices provide strategic insight into lateral, upward and downward career paths.
Today, employees feel stumped, bored, and frustrated in their current positions, likely because they’re craving change, growth and development. It’s becoming easier and easier for people to change jobs, especially considering the growth of online job boards and company careers pages, which make it less cumbersome to both find opportunities and pursue them.
When this problem is left unresolved, companies will face major turnover and job satisfaction issues, forcing them to look externally for employees that fit their experience and competency requirements. For many companies, a constantly in-flux workforce has become a daily challenge of doing business. This trend is due in part to companies either placing an insufficient emphasis on supporting the professional development of their employees or simply lacking the skills and expertise to do so. Investing more time and energy into recruiting, holding onto, and developing their best employees can be unexpectedly complicated. Yet, it would be highly beneficial for companies to develop their existing employees in order to create a steady source of highly qualified talent from within.
Career pathing resolves these issues through a structured, communicated and holistic development plan to help employees visualize their career growth within the company. In companies that organize themselves this way, employees are better equipped to:
Enhance career progress
Identify and pursue employment opportunities within the company
Excel through aligned learning and development
Receive coaching and mentoring from managerial, HR and business leaders
Without active career planning, employees will be much more likely to see their best opportunities as lying elsewhere and leave for competitors in pursuit of their self-interest. Career planning assistance programs are not reserved for thriving, expanding companies with a wealth of resources to devote to human resource initiatives. Rather, career pathing is for every organization, whether it is flat, single-location or, multinational, whether in the high-tech, government, consumer packaged goods sectors, or any other industry. Keeping employees motivated, positive, and productive during stressful times is not easy, but actively providing career guidance can help maintain morale and reinforce a sense of loyalty when it’s needed most.

R&Rs and Growth as a Product Manager by Uber Sr PMProduct School
Main Takeaways:
-Roles and responsibilities vary by company, industry, and stage: Smaller company: simpler organization, more technical responsibilities. Larger company, more complex organization, more specialized set of responsibilities.
-Consistent across all is the responsibility of the PM to deliver outcomes, not master individual skills
-Know what you need to know. Confidently delegate the rest. A deep understanding of every detail and nuance of a product area is not a prerequisite to success
Time management and relationship building are increasingly critical as your career matures, no matter the size of the company
