TEI 059: Leading product teams and scaling a business

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode
059 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: Leading engineering teams from a strategic
perspective of creating competitive products can be the source of a
company’s growth. I interviewed Mike Paschal to explore this
dimension of product development, management, and innovation. In
our discussion he shares his experience building and leading
engineering teams and applying the 3 P’s of business – people,
product, and process. Mike has been in several software engineering
related roles, serving as product manager, director of engineering,
COO, and founder. He has worked for Intel, Sequent Computer
Systems, Sun, Nortel, and other companies. One of his favorite
roles is helping $5-10 million dollar companies scale to $50-100
million dollar companies. Scaling a business, regardless of where
you start, is challenging work because businesses tend to operate
differently each time they scale up and the differences are
predictable.
