TEI 253: How product managers can influence quickly

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: During each
podcast episode, I always share that this podcast is… “where
product leaders and managers make their move to product masters,
learning practical knowledge that leads to more influence and
confidence so you’ll create products customers love.” That’s an
important relationship: knowledge, influence, and confidence. We
need those three things to be successful creating products. So,
it’s not surprising that when I saw an article on the Mind the
Product blog titled, “5 Tips for Product Managers Who Want to
Influence Quickly,” it caught my attention. The author is Bridget
McMullan, and she is here to discuss how we can quickly influence
others whom we need to support our product ideas and plans. She is
a partner at Upfront Work, a product management consultancy, and
has spent more than 10 years developing and manufacturing
innovative consumer products with Fortune 500 companies, including
Foot Locker, Craftsman (Sears), Johnson & Johnson and others.
