Editor's Notes

  1. What is in a title? What do they mean? Why do we care? How do titles affect your job as a product manager
  2. Roots of stereotyping. Maybe the guy on the left is actually going to bash your head in, and the guy on the right is just hungry.
  3. Older industries, especially consumer-facing industries, have titles that everyone understands.
  4. There is only one Dalai Lama. What does that mean about the man?
  5. There are a lot of cashiers. If one of them won’t help you, another one will. They’re interchangeable.
  6. Important because it gives people a roadmap, and also because it gives people credit for where they have already gotten to.
