My key advice for them is to remember that there is never a ‘no’ as the answer. As budding Product Managers, they should understand functions such as business prospects, sales expectations, internal engineering and customer requirements. On the other hand, they should also be clear to what they are saying a ‘yes’. As growing Leaders, understanding the ‘why’ of a Product becomes crucial and should work on it before accepting the offer. Once the ‘why’ gets answered, the Product Manager gains more clarity and becomes successful.
