Enhancing Influence Among Executives
Increasing influence with executives is essential for product leaders to navigate organizational dynamics effectively. Understanding the underlying structures of organizational politics is crucial; rather than viewing it negatively, it should be reframed as a necessary aspect of driving change. Strong communication skills tailored to executives, using 'the language of money', allows product leaders to articulate the value of their work and align with business goals. This shift in narrative helps bridge the disconnect often observed between business and technical teams.
