Looking back on the best PM hires you've observed, what were useful signals during the interview process? Do the highest impact PM hires demonstrate deep domain expertise, strength in one or more skillsets, or something else?

Rodrigo Davies
Asana Director of Product Management, AI • October 10
Ability to get up to speed on unfamiliar, complex areas quickly
Highly reflective on past experiences and deep growth mindset
Infectious curiosity about customers
Succinct communicators, verbal and written
These are some of the most difficult qualities to coach, and become more difficult to coach the more years of experience the person has, in my experience.
