Would anyone be willing to share with me the most important things you did to position yourself for success as you took on greater responsibility/management? I'm up for a senior product manager role but I'll admit I'm a little nervous. Just looking for any advice or feedback. Thank you!

Building strong relationships with my teams and stakeholders seems to have helped me out in the past.

I’ve been in situations before where someone in a leadership position would question my decisions and I’ve seen multiple people back me up or support me because they all trusted that I was doing the right thing. I’ve also moved to a different product at my former company and the lead engineer assigned to that product told me that they asked about me before I transitioned over and said that they heard good things about me from my former team. I can definitely see this being a big reason why my transition had been so smooth.

Having a good repertoire with the people you work with is super valuable to have and stays with you no matter what role you have within the company.

I made a list of my goals and set a timeframe for it. Success of my goal depends on the amount of effort I put on my work. I use all the discouragement I received from the people who doubted me to push me harder to achieve my goals.

I'm glad this has worked for you but if you don't mind I also wanted to caution against leaning on the prove-you-wrong mentality too hard. I've found that over time it wound up hurting me more than helping, particularly the higher I've reached in leadership. At some point you've got to learn to be driven by more positive things and confidence regardless of what others thing. Just my two cents.
