Some people love roller coasters, while others are scared of them. But one thing's for sure:
Roller coasters are at their best when you have a skilled product manager driving the ride!
As a product manager, you're faced with a thousand problems a day and a range of emotions that can feel like a wild ride. But no matter how intense the ups and downs may be, it's critical to maintain a calm and positive attitude for the benefit of your team.
As the middleman between stakeholders and the team, a product manager sets the tone for the entire project.
Whether you are mad, tired, or irritated - it is evident, and that will influence performance and output. Conversely, when you are positive and focused, your team will follow suit. If everyone feels like they are working together towards a common goal, anything is possible.
It's not an easy job, but it's essential to keep in mind that your team is looking to you for guidance and stability. Your ability to stay level-headed and optimistic can make all the difference in a successful product launch.
The next time you find yourself on the rollercoaster of product management, take a deep breath and remember that your team depends on you. It is possible to accomplish anything if you have the right attitude :)
