Best books about product management for a good exit to industry? I already have an MBA and PMP but looking for a refreshed perspective since it’s been years since my formal education.

Currently reading “Product Managements Sacred Seven” but it’s geared toward the startup world. I am in healthcare and not looking for a startup role. TIA!!!

Cracking the PM interview

like

Bought “Cracking the PM career.” Let’s see how that goes. It includes the interview part.

PMP is revamping their curriculum. New version release slated for Aug 1st. Maybe read the new manual. Its supposed to focus less on deliverables and more on overall project delivery

Yeah, I maintain it but don’t follow it to the T.

I work for a company with a pretty generous PTO policy and a mostly remote flex policy (4 days a month in office if within 75 miles of the building). One thing I’m wondering if there is a way to help us I get the “I’m taking a mental health day” call out regularly which causes a strain on the rest of the team because we were unable to prepare like we would with pre-planned PTO. Any ideas of things I can do as a manager to encourage pre-planned PTO instead of these call outs?

How do you mentally deal with the stress of this work and these (demanding Wall Street) clients?

I’m close to promotion but wondering if I’m not cut out for this (seeing some health affects) or if all I need is a mindset change.
