What truly defines successful product leadership?
In this episode of the Product Thinking Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Ken Norton, an executive coach with a passion for “whole person” coaching. We explore the evolution of product management, discussing the crucial differences between empowered and unempowered product teams. Ken generously shares insights from his 14-year tenure at Google, contributing to iconic products like Google Maps and Google Calendar.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
► Product management is an "apprenticeship role" that relies heavily on mentorship. With its popularity surging, too many people are jumping into PM without enough guidance. Finding strong mentors early on is critical.
► The romanticized notion of a PM as the "CEO of the product" paints an unrealistic picture. In reality, successful PMs focus on collaboration and influence rather than unilateral decision-making.
► Many default to anxiety-driven leadership rooted in fear. But coaching can catalyze a shift to vision and purpose-led leadership. This requires self-reflection, boosting confidence, and connecting to meaning.
► Strong product cultures emphasize psychological safety, customer obsession, and empowered teams. But rigid corporate processes can restrict that entrepreneurial spirit, making a change of environment necessary.
► Crafting vision isn't about foresight - it's storytelling that motivates people. But it requires trusting your team rather than micromanaging execution.
► The hardest yet most crucial part of product leadership is bringing out the best in people. Resolving conflicts, inspiring shared purpose, and promoting creativity is key.
If you're captivated by the intriguing aspects of product management that delve into the essence of leadership, this conversation with Ken Norton is an absolute must-listen! It's a deep dive into the nuances of product leadership, uncovering the human elements that fuel the success of every product journey.
What quality do you believe is most vital for successful product leadership?
