I hope these hold true. I’ve built my own career adjustments around being able to follow most of this. In hopes to find a good fit with a company who’s looking for these things.
Great point, Mike. It will be interesting to see if job descriptions and hiring managers look for builder PMs, discoverable product knowledge and skills in dealing with ambiguity.
Brilliant take on the shift from process fluency to judgment fluency. That point about builder PMs reducing uncertainty befor alignment really landed for me, worked at a place where we'd endlessly wait for stakeholder green lights before touching anything real. Curious how this plays out across diff company sizes tho, like does the same principle hold at 50-person startups versus FAANG where you've got 12 layers of approval?
Whether you are a product manager in a small or large organization, I urge PMs to take action instead of waiting. If taking action feels unwelcome, then the next best thing is creating your point of view on next steps and see if anyone says no or suggests adjustments. You'll either find out what to adjust or you'll get support.
