How to say no -- in order to say yes
Product managers have a reputation for constantly saying no: no to a customer's blocking feature, no to an internal stakeholder's critical workflow, no to engineering manager's pushback on timelines, no to a leadership ask (that slide deck in less than 24 hours or "quick business case")..or just a no to a 1:1 meeting with a colleague (you know that one attempting to influence you - cornering you near the coffee machine). Saying no is one of the most important skills as a Product Manager you will never perfect. Join me as we explore circumstances and how to say no well. The results - your yes is more meaningful.
