The Surprising Secrets of Exceptional Product Leaders | Jessica Hall | TEDxPearlStreet

💡 Exceptional product leaders are not defined by their great ideas or execution, but by their ability to lead a team with different skill sets to make decisions on what to build and how to build it. 🔍 Exceptional product leaders understand the unique challenges of their industry and are able to find solutions that work for their specific situation. 👥 As a leader, it's not enough to just tell your team what to do, they need to deeply understand and prioritize the customer's needs. 🧠 Exceptional product leaders change the way their teams think to focus them on solving problems of the customer and helping the business grow. 🎓 The common application's mission is access, equity, and integrity in the college admissions process, guiding every decision they make about what to build and how to build it. 🌊 An exceptional product leader creates a detailed picture of the customer among a sea of people, understanding their needs and seeing the opportunity where the market has failed. 🌟 The truly special product leaders are the ones who can admit that they don't have all the answers, and that's what sets them apart from the ordinary ones.
