What do you think junior PMs struggle with the most in regards to working with executives?

Junior product managers can face challenges when working with executives around:

• Communication - articulating complex ideas concisely. To combat this, think through what are the key 2-3 points you want this busy executive to take away from this meeting and use visuals, data, and examples to illustrate those ideas effectively

• Influence - convincing executives and managing expectations. To combat this, build a compelling case based on data and user insights. Show how product decisions align to the company’s broader strategic goals

• Adaptability - handling shifting priorities and pressure to perform. To combat this, stay informed about market trends, customer needs, and emerging technologies. Cultivate a mindset that embraces change and focuses on long-term product vision while addressing shifting priorities
