Great post Kax! Here's the real question: Do you need have been a good product manager to be an effective product leader?

In my experiences along the way, highly productive product people that have flipped over to leaders have spent so much time in the field that they tend to stay laser focused on the products and have trouble transitioning into good people managers and mentors.
