A core challenge for product managers is to use their influence to optimize how all parts of the organization work to achieve the product and company’s goals.

Transformation is a word that isn’t commonly favored by the Product community because Transformation Programs rarely allow Product Teams to autonomously decide how they’ll achieve their mission. However, Transformation Programs incur significant costs. According to the CIO magazine, Global spending on digital transformation technologies and services was $1.3 trillion in 2020 of which 70% of that spend is wasted.

Here’s the thing about Women in Tech. For a movement that was created to address the lack of female representation in the industry, it can also play into many shallow debates, preconceived ideas, and harmful expectations. From being the token woman who always gets invited to redeem all-male panels to snide comments about how “she’s just a diversity hire,” the term “women in tech” can sometimes feel more like a burden than a blessing.

Why just drink soda when you can get soda with a kick? Image Credit: Person-with-No Name. Product managers who are responsible for selling alcohol are in a bit of a bind these days.

I said in the Modern Management books that managers lead and serve the team (at all levels). However, I've seen organizations try to separate the leading work from the serving work. That's when the organization creates “people” managers. The people managers serve the team by creating a trusting relationship with each person on the team. The other senior experts are supposed to lead the technical efforts and coach the people on their technical skills.
