TEI 220: What makes a good product manager & who shouldn’t be one

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: This is a
listener requested episode. Several Everyday Innovators have
asked, “What are the qualities of a good product manager?”
While many listeners are already good product managers, a little
self-reflection from time to time on your strengths and how to be
an even better product manager is valuable to your career as well
as to those who you work with. One listener put this in a different
light and asked who should not be a product manager. I thought that
was a really insightful question. So, the following discussion
addresses both topics:  qualities of a good product manager
and who should not pursue a career in product management. To help
us explore these topics, our guest is Marc Abraham, coordinator at
ProductTank and author of the book My Product Management
Toolkit: Tools and Techniques to Become an Outstanding Product
Manager.
