Anyone here experienced a situation where you were excellent at product in a previous company but struggle to do product at a new or current company? I was a top performer previously and I had to switch jobs for a certain reason. Here I find that I just can’t think of anything or find anything to do product wise. I struggle to set strategy or think of big ideas and my pace is incredibly slow.

I feel a bit like this but, in my case, I think it's because I don't feel like I can relate much to the domain, there's limited usage data and access to customers is also challenging.

Is this job in a different domain to your previous one? What do you think is making it hard to come up with ideas?

Same situation as you described. I was in a new domain previously but somehow grasped it. This one was unexpected and I have encountered so many political challenges that it is hard to get my brain to think creatively

I saw a co-worker struggle with this. I think his PM skills were fine but he never really connected with our customers or understood their needs. I found in any role, if I can't authentically connect with the customer it becomes an uphill battle for my productivity.

I can’t help but feel this way, and as much as I love my company, I’m beginning to dislike the role. Maybe it’s an ‘ego’ thing? Anyone ever been in this position? How did you get over it?

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
