Leadership for Product Managers Training

Strong product owners and product managers, real difference makers, people who leave their mark on the products they deliver, intentionally influence those around them. These leaders do things differently: they do not only set goals but inspire and enable others. They guide organizations to sustainable success by shifting their focus from building a product to maximizing product value, creating a sense of purpose that binds their teams together.

This dynamic, one-day training focuses on the concepts of a winning strategy, creating and maintaining relationships, purpose and goal setting, communication, and ownership.

“Leaders must own everything in their world. There is no one else to blame.” – Jocko Willink
