The Power of Empathy in Product Management

In this episode of Product Voices, I speak with Cristina Crespo, VP of Product at Paytient, about the crucial role of empathy in product management. 

Cristina defines empathy, differentiates it from sympathy, and emphasizes its impact on creating user-centered products. We discuss how empathy correlates with business success through frameworks like the product-led growth flywheel, and she shares strategies for leveraging research to enhance user experiences. 

Cristina also highlights the importance of fostering an empathetic workplace culture and the need for self-empathy among product managers. 

The conversation illustrates that embedding empathy in product processes is key to success.
