What is the Product Leadership course about?
Senior product leaders often face misaligned teams, unclear value tracking, and mounting technical trade-offs that slow delivery. Traditional frameworks don’t address the operational realities of leading product strategy across distributed engineering and business units. Without a structured, implementation-ready approach, even strong visionaries find themselves stuck in planning cycles or reactive mode.
