TEI 217: 50% of what makes product managers successful that most are missing

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: Two spheres of
capabilities are needed for product managers to be successful. One
is competency in the processes, practices, and tools of product
management. That is where I spend much of my time helping product
managers and teams. The other sphere is competency in what is often
called the soft skills and aligned with leadership. It is this
sphere that many people find more difficult to master, especially
those of us from technical backgrounds. But, without these
competencies, you are severely limiting your potential. My passion
is inspiring and equipping product managers and leaders. To that
end, this is one of the most important discussions we have had yet
on this podcast. At one point in the discussion with our guest, my
passion for helping you and other product managers came out in the
form of a few tears. Hopefully, that will make sense when you hear
it. My guest is Paresh Shah, who is pursuing his passion of helping
engineers transform into innovators, intrapreneurs, and inspiring
leaders. Paresh taps into his experience as a mechanical engineer,
Harvard MBA, serial entrepreneur, leadership coach, and other roles
to inspire you to future-proof your career, innovate more
efficiently, and advance faster.
