Course syllabus

01

Inspiring Teams & Building Culture

People are arguably the most challenging and unpredictable part of the manager's job. We will cover some of the skills and tactics we use to effectively inspire our teams, hire the best, support the growth of our people and create a culture of excellence.

02

Designing & Scaling Organization

Product growth is always good news. But how do you design and organize your product teams effectively? We will discuss some of the frameworks we use and the tactics we leverage to continuously optimize and improve.

03

Creating Vision & Strategy

As a product manager, you most likely worked on the strategy for a single product. As a manager of the product manager, strategy is more complex and can involve multiple products. We will cover some of the ways managers can effectively create strategy with their teams, and set a vision and outcomes.

04

Planning Budget & Financials

As a manager, you most likely will have responsibility for managing the P&L for your products and teams. We will cover the fundamentals of P&L, budgets, and financial planning.

05

Scaling as a Leader

As a manager, you will need to divide your focus amongst your portfolio both from a product and a go-to-market perspective. In this module, we will discuss the four mindsets of managers to drive impact and business value.

06

Communicating for Impact

Communication can make or break careers. Lack of clarity and consistency in messaging creates confusion amongst your peers and your teams. In this module, we will focus on driving confidence through your messaging.

07

Establishing Structures & Systems

Your role as a manager will evolve over a period of time and often you'd need to optimize for establishing operating models, team processes, and shared mission to drive your business and team forward. In this module, we will focus on those critical but overlooked skills of decisive management.
