In this episode of the How to Succeed in Product Management Podcast, marketing professor Jeff Shulman and The Product Management Center advisory board members Red Russak and Soumeya Benghanem welcome Chelsea Alexander-Taylor (Redfin) and Jonathan Pappas (Connect the Dots) to talk about how PMs struggle with imposter syndrome often at the early stages of their career. A lot of new PMs find it difficult to adjust in a new role, a new working space, or in a new organization. And it doesn’t help that they are expected to overperform and carry with them experiences they currently don’t have. As product leaders, how can we create a safe space where confidence is boosted and psychological safety is prioritized?
