Career Hacks for Product Leaders
Product leaders seem to have it all within the product. But, how does a new product manager start or hack their product management career? Netflix fmr-Product VP Gib Biddle describes the skills required to grow into an exceptional product leader, ways to experiment with career approaches and extend your career through your own personal board of directors. As usual, Gib is full of war stories—both good and bad—that will help you start, grow or accelerate your career as a product leader.
