Lead on Purpose

DECEMBER 6, 2010

Product managers hold a unique position in the company: they depend on people from other groups, but they do not have managerial authority over those people (in most cases).

The Invisible Barrier to Great Corporate Culture Our favorite definition of culture comes from marketing guru Seth Godin. For example, a manager’s bonus depends on the number of units shipped, regardless of units returned. Now, almost everyone can recite the values and define them. But the culture hasn’t changed. What’s going on?

“Manager&# is an interesting title. An account manager is different from a store manager. Even within the title of “store manager&# the scope and breadth of responsibility varies widely. The manager of a 7-Eleven has significantly different responsibilities than the manager of a Costco store.

The traditional ( Tailorian ) view of managing others was to “use people as resources to get work done” whereas the new context of work demands the mindset of “using work as a resource to develop people”. That’s when your leadership becomes a gift for others to create a multiplier effect. Make people around them smarter.

In most companies product managers have a lot of products and significant responsibilities. With all the meetings, floods of email, and requirements to manage, the thought of focusing on a product’s profitability can be illusive. Good product managers write understandable and timely requirements and prioritize them effectively.
