In many product organizations, marketing and sales face endless approvals, delaying time-to-market. But in a fast-paced world, slow movement isnโt an option.
My experience on how to streamline and slice through red tape. A true leader doesnโt just ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐; they stand in the middle of the team, ensuring alignment. Because, letโs be honest, without alignment, even the best product ideas ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ต๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ
