I'm convinced that "human skills" are pure gold in product leadership, they're like the secret sauce 🍔 that makes products sizzle.

In this blog, I discuss the importance of empathy and the consequences of how the lack of it will simply hold you and your team back. #Productleadership #AProductLeader https://www.kateleto.com/articles/empathy-is-an-important-part-of-your-job-as-a-product-leader

At this point, you all know that I'm all for self-care.

During my product Community of Practice research, I was surprised to learn that a lot of PMs don’t know that communities like ProductTank or other PM meetups exist.

➡ If you’re a product leader, I think it’s a great idea to ask your product organization if they are attending out-of-the-company community events, and if not, help them realize that these outside communities exist!

For the design food chain:

If business argues for how and why of a message or an extra field on the sign up form and if it asks design to justify, this is not how design works.
