Translator: Can speak business, design, and tech. They can turn the "why" into a "what". Meaning they can translate intent into action. 2. Can Prioritize: There are always a hundred possible things a business or organization can do. However a good PM can help direct and prioritize talent and resources to have the biggest impact. 3. Unorthodox problem solver (Curiosity+Empathy+Challenger): A key thing that PMs focus on is solving the problem, by any means necessary. 4. Multi-disciplinary: By knowing a little bit of how things work– in business, design, tech– PMs can have a better 30k ft view of problem-solving. They can help facilitate the resources to move towards solving a problem, simply because they have an idea of what's possible. This allows the PM to superpower the team and let them do what they do best. 5. Vision and Intuition: PMs keep in perspective of the end goal. This allows them to plan ahead and keep the team productive and aimed towards the right goal. 6. Get SH*T DONE: At the end of the day, a good PM should be able to get things done through resourceful means. You can practice and demonstrate it by shipping your own product. That could be as simple as a small community website up to a product that solves a big problem. #ProductManagement #Airtable === 🚀 Futur Accelerator The step-by-step blueprint and coaching program designed to get your creative business off the ground: https://thefutur.com/accelerator 🥇 Futur Pro The professional creative community designed to grow your personal brand, your business, and your network: https://thefutur.com/pro ✍️ Other Courses, Templates, and Tools: https://thefutur.com/shop 🎙 The Futur Podcast: https://thefutur.com/podcast Recommended books, tools, music, resources, typefaces & more: https://thefutur.com/recommendations Music by Epidemic Sound: http://share.epidemicsound.com/thefutur Shorts Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/@thefutur/shorts We love getting your letters.
