Last 7 years of my Product journey has been around serving sellers (In Meesho) and Drivers (In Gojek) . In many ways I feel that , my team & I were able to uplift the lives of these folks - both from a social and economic point of view. While doing so , I was also able to create teams of fantastic product professionals from ground up (twice in 2 different companies) - many of whom have become lifelong friends.
I am an introvert by nature . My default mode is to listen more and talk less. At times this hindered my ability to create influence In large gatherings and leadership discussions. Over time, via conscious effort I have learned to be effective at this.
Lot of aspiring PM's do not understand that Product managers need to master the art of influencing without authority for majority of the decisions. Not everyone enjoys this and sometimes folks realise it the hard way.
Being solution centric/Not spending enough time on the problem , Not talking to users , Not focussing on execution
I would have owned a cafe/restaurant :)
Career path progression and how to go about it , what skills to acquire , how to find mentors.
