TEI 141: How product managers can better lead change

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:  Our work is
the work of innovation. A few years ago I heard the word innovation
expressed as in-a-new-way. It’s a helpful phrase to remember
that the very nature of innovation means doing something new —
something we have not done before — something in-a-new-way. This
puts us at the center of change. The very nature of our work as
product managers and innovators is change. We often need to help
others we work with understand why change is required. It is a
skill we can learn and my quest calls it Change Intelligence.

effectively work with others who have different styles.
