Leadership is a critical element to successful product management. In this episode, Michael talks with Steve Farber about the importance of creating a culture of leadership. They discuss Extreme Leadership (”otherwise known as ‘real’ leadership”) and its odd mixture of fear and exhilaration. If the only reason you can think of to not do something is because it’s scary, that’s an indication that you should do it.
Michael and Steve also discuss Greater Than Yourself, Steve’s new leadership book. As leaders it’s your job to not just be helpful but to lift others above yourself. They discuss the three tenets of Greater Than Yourself:
- Expand yourself
- Give yourself
- Replicate yourself
Steve gives excellent advice on becoming a great leader.
