Senior Product Leaders are Company Change Agents
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Senior Product Leaders are actually Company Change Agents and most aren't trained for it.
This part of their role may also not be explicit. "Product Transformation isn't really a thing, like "Digital Transformation" is a thing, or "Agile Transformation". The latter is probably closest to Product Transformation.
Doing this organisational change work is difficult and creating changes to organisational structures and processes can get frustrating if things move very slowly.

Direct your Management Team when you lack direction from them
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
If you lack direction from your SMT, that's on you. This is your opportunity to create what they don't give.
It is more common than you might think that companies, especially small to mid-sized companies, don't have a strategic goals, let alone a company strategy.
While this creates some of your current issues, such as lack of direction, lack of alignment, etc., it also creates an opportunity for you as senior product leader to step up and bridge the gap.
This might sound daunting, but remember what makes for a good strategy. More likely than not you have created a product strategy in the past.
The building blocks of a product strategy have lots of similarities with this of a company strategy.
In this episode I'm sharing three high-level steps for creating a company/portfolio strategy without backlash.

Sticky Focus Time - Finally Get Things Done Without Evening Work
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
When Senior Product Leaders are jumping from call to call all day. When lunch breaks are a luxury. And bio breaks have to happen with apologies during a call. Then it's hard to imagine how blocking Focus Time would be of any help.
The issue remains though that the important things, the strategic things don't move forward from calls alone. Most calls are tactical. Some calls are really valuable. A few calls are unnecessary.
This is such a common issue that the leaders I get to work with are facing. In fact, it is usually the first one that we have to work on before we can get to the good stuff.
That's why I'm sharing with you today what the three key steps are that I guide them through. You deserve to get your time and energy back. You deserve to be able to think more about the big things that matter. You deserve to enjoy your evenings and weekends again.
