Product Management

What advice would you give to someone starting their career in product management?

Developing an intense curiosity: The key to success in product management

I would encourage somebody to develop an intense curiosity about the world. Why does this happen? Why is it like that? Could it be better? Could I make it better? I think a lot of what product involves is taking the world as it is and taking problems that you encounter in that world and being curious about them and figuring out how to solve them in a better way. And frankly, that's what I love about products. I think once you develop that curiosity, you start looking for opportunities then inside of your current company to make things better for your current clients, for internal stakeholders. Opportunities in product will seem to open up to you.

Develop an intense curiosity about the world and look for opportunities to make things better for both clients and internal stakeholders. This will open up opportunities in product.

My advice to someone starting their career in product management would be to cultivate a strong sense of curiosity about the world. Ask yourself why things happen the way they do, and constantly question if there's a better way. This curiosity will drive you to identify problems and seek innovative solutions.

Product management involves taking the world as it is and finding ways to improve it. By being curious and inquisitive, you'll be able to identify opportunities for improvement within your current company. This could involve making things better for clients or internal stakeholders.

Once you develop this curiosity and actively seek opportunities for improvement, you'll find that doors will open up for you in the field of product management. Embrace your curiosity and let it guide you towards making a positive impact in your role.
