Leading others, influencing, giving feedback is part of every product manager’s job, but it can make people uncomfortable. Criticizing others can feel brutal, and praising them can feel patronizing. Giving feedback is hard, but it’s just the beginning. It’s equally as important to get feedback (especially criticism) from others, and encourage it between them. Kim will share her approach for giving impromptu feedback effectively, soliciting it from others, and encouraging it between the people you work most closely with.
