Word to all of you out there, if you trash talk other people within your industry (and clients), they will find out and they soon may be in a position to decide if they want to hire you. Happened to several people I know. When will people learn that egos and talking shit is so outdated. 🙄

If you had $5k to spend on courses or professional development, where would you spend it to maximize ROI in terms of PM career trajectory or building useful skills?

I'm curious to hear answers in general, but can provide more specifics about my current role/skills/aspirations if needed.

Going on 1.5 yoe and still learning how to organize and deliver customer-centric features at a bank. I’m feeling overwhelmed and eternally behind when it comes to scoping intent and managing timelines. In fact, I have not gotten a timeline together yet because I am still determining features required. I am having trouble detecting features required because I do not know customer preferences, and I don’t know customer preferences because I have only industry data. Does PM always few so chaotic?

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?

It's fairly easy (technically if not consensually) to upgrade the cryptography to stay ahead of faster computers.

Have about 1500 XRP bought at $0.21 - hold or sell for XLM?

I’ve been a mid-level manager (Sr Operations Manager) for the last three years. Been in my industry for 10 years. I feel I have plateaued in my career path. I’m trying to promote to a Director of Operations role in house and looking at outside opportunities as well. I feel like it’s taken longer to obtain this position than my previous roles. Any advice from Sr/Exec Management to be more self aware and fill in the holes to finally hit the finish line?

I’m a new manager to a newly created team. The team has extremely low morale and in two weeks I’ve had to have 4 difficult conversations about performance. Any ideas to help boost morale quickly?

Help me understand why executives lie and gaslight so often. I’m new to this and don’t feel comfortable doing it.

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

I’m currently considering an offer and am finding that all online compensation benchmarking is falling flat in terms of understanding how I should be looking at comp for this role. I’d value your advice on how to access cleaner comp data and/or how you might look at comp for this role: Chief People Officer for a $2.5BIL revenue ($150MIL net income) global organization. 50,000 employees. USA based. Looking for Total Comp and cash targets/benchmarks.

When did you know you were ready for a senior leadership or an executive role?

Do you miss anything about the non-executive portion of your career journey?

Looking for guidance. I’ve been passively applying to Director roles since January, and actively for 2 weeks now. I’ve gotten one call for a position I didn’t apply to and no other response. Is there something I should be doing to get more traction?

For context, I was hired as a site GM. Then 8 months later made a regional. In January I was placed in a Director capacity pending position approval. The position has been postponed a year tentatively but I’ve been asked to continue in unofficial

Does anyone have experience sitting on boards? I’m interested in doing this at some point in my career, but am not sure how to get started and what’s typically required (both qualifications and work involved)

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?

Our company is going through a major transformation and there is quite a bit of resistance due to uncertainty and lots of broken promises. Are there any books you would recommend on how to change corporate culture and help employees adapt to change?

Does anyone work or run a satellite office? I’m in a role where our satellite office has no designated leadership that sits regularly with HQ decisions makers. It’s me and an ECD expected to run the day to day with no visibility into the network. We routinely get agency decisions rolling down to us without guidance on how to implement. I’ve never worked in a satellite office before, what are typical leadership structures and processes for a satellite to be successful?

Hello! I’d like to share an experience and hopefully receive guidance.

I spent two years as an executive, and while I was providing what I believe was impactful work, and receiving praises across the board, I got fired from one day to the other without any explanation.

After a few weeks, some managers (who were under me) shared that there had been a while campaign raised against me for a couple of months by others VPs and shareholders. 1/2

What's your opinion on restricted stock?

At what level do companies begin to entertain golden parachutes?

What things have direct reports done that have impressed you? I have one - one of my managers just sent me an extremely perfect mid year review with actions milestone outcomes - bottle necks. So simple and clear to measure success for end of Q4. Thank you 🙏 hiring god who found this employee.

How much of your gig is spent interviewing candidates? I feel like that’s a solid 30% of my role these days.

My boss asked me to submit my career aspirations after bringing in someone in a new position over me. Is this a bill shit assignment? Has anyone else ever asked to do this?

Is anyone a member of Chief? Do you recommend?
