Six Stances of Product Leadership with Nadezhda Belousova & Anjali Leon

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with the complexity of being in a product management role? Do you support product managers, or product owners, in performing their role?

In this QuickTalk, Anjali & Nadezhda will share Six Product Leadership Stances to help you, and those you work with, navigate the complexity of product management. They'll introduce us to the key characteristics and focus areas of each of these six stances, and reveal how the natural synergies and tensions between these stances can help make sense of the inherent intricacies in product leadership roles.
