Thank you for real-world tips on increasing your product management contribution! I enjoyed the perspectives from the coaches and have new ideas to deliver at a higher level.
Great and definitely valid advice & insights! One thing I would add - worst time to discuss promotion with your manager is when performance cycle is just around the corner. If your manager told you that you’re not ready - it only means this conversation was not open early enough.
The higher you go up as a PM, the more prepared you need to be for next and next promotion. This means that PMs need to open such conversation right after the last performance cycle and align on expectations with their managers, to ensure they have a clear growth plan.
If they are mad at their managers that they won’t put them for promotion - well, looks like expectations were not aligned early enough 🤷♀️
thank you so much for adding more to the topic!!! 🙌
and +100 on what you said - being prepared is absolutely necessary! it's also real agency. there's so much that PMs can do to influence the outcome in the end. promotions don't just "happen" to people.
