Key Takeaways
1. The empathy gap is an inside job
PMs are trained to understand users. They're much less practiced at understanding the salesperson who might miss their bonus, or the founder who goes home worrying about every person on the payroll. That internal empathy gap is costing product teams their credibility — and most don't even realise it.
2. Understanding your business model is a cheat code
Being able to explain how your company makes money and where product fits into that is becoming increasingly more important.
3. Stop standing on principle when the building is on fire
Good product judgement means reading the room, and sometimes that means ditching the playbook and digging in alongside everyone else.
4. Frustration is often a fit problem, not a culture problem
PMs who spend their energy trying to reshape a company that doesn't want to be reshaped tend to leave bitter.
5. The PM glut is real
The rapid expansion of the PM title — especially across the UK and Europe — wasn't always matched by the training, onboarding, or genuine experience needed to do the job well. The current market correction might be supply and demand catching up. Receive SMS online on sms24.me
