TEI 260: Proverbs for product managers and innovators

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  Do you like
proverbs? I do. Proverbs are short general truths or pieces of
advice. They can be a source of wisdom, which is why I read from
the Bible book, Proverbs, most nights while I was in college. I was
seeking wisdom. Proverbs come from many sources and some become
common sayings, such as “measure twice, cut once” — wisdom for
carpenters. Or, “look before you leap,” which is something many
parents have shared with an impetuous child. I may have heard that
one a few times myself. I also love innovation proverbs, and I
found a book full of them. It’s titled, The Innovator’s Book:
Rules for Rebels, Mavericks and Innovators. The author is Dr. Max
Mckeown, an award-winning author and artist who seeks to make
complex ideas practical for the real world. His research focuses on
how to increase the successful adaptability of individuals, teams
and organizations. We discuss a few favorite proverbs from the
book.
