Mastering the Hidden Friction of Product Leadership in the Age of AI

Stephanie Leue

Executive Coach for CPOs

Stop reacting. Master the system. Lead product in the AI age.

You are losing 60–70% of your week to hidden system taxes — and AI is making it worse, not better.

The bar for product leadership is rising fast. CEOs expect commercial proof, not roadmap updates. CTOs want real alignment, not polite agreement. Your PMs need coaching, not a therapist. And the confidence to lead through all of this does not come from frameworks. It comes from fixing the system.

In this course you will:

Map your Product Leadership OS across five views and identify exactly which taxes are draining you most. Build commercial credibility with your CEO — in the language that actually lands. Run the hard alignment conversation with your CTO that you have been avoiding. Shift your 1:1s from absorbing chaos to building your team's capability. Design a 14-day sprint plan you can start on Monday.

What makes this different: every session includes a live hot seat where one participant gets coached on a real, current challenge — in front of the group. You will learn as much watching as you will in the seat.

This is not theory. This is your system, fixed.

What you’ll learn

Go from reactive firefighter to OS architect — building CEO trust, real alignment, and a team that no longer needs rescuing.

  • Use the OS Audit framework to rate each view and identify where your system breaks down

  • Name the tax costing you the most — and understand exactly why it keeps coming back

  • Learn to translate product decisions into revenue, retention, and competitive position

  • top defending your roadmap — start presenting evidence that removes doubt

  • Diagnose whether your peer relationships are genuinely aligned or just polite

  • Use the CPO-CTO alignment playbook to have the conversation that changes things

  • Learn the four PM archetypes and how to develop each one differently

  • Replace tips and fixes with coaching questions that build your team's independence

  • Pick your most urgent tax, define three actions, and set one way to measure progress

  • Leave the course with a plan you can execute immediately — not a framework to study

  • nderstand why AI accelerates a broken leadership system — and how to fix yours first

  • Build the OS that lets you move fast, decide clearly, and own the outcomes
