I call them the five superpowers. Today, we will be discussing these superpowers and how you can develop them to take your product management game to the next level.

The Five Superpowers of Great Product Managers:
1. Intellectual Curiosity:
The first superpower is intellectual curiosity. Great product managers are incredibly curious. They are relentless in trying to understand why something is not working. They are always seeking opportunities to talk to their customers and understand the problems they are having. On a deeper level, intellectual curiosity is a vital trait for any great product manager.
2. Sense of Ownership:
The second superpower is a sense of ownership. Great product managers own every aspect of their product’s success. They collaborate with every part of their organization to realize that success. If something needs doing, they roll up their sleeves and get it done. Once the product is launched, they are the first ones to gather data on how customers are using it and already start thinking about how to optimize it to deliver the most value to their customers.
3. Effective Communication:
The third superpower is effective communication. Great product managers prioritize effective communication in their role. They are able to move seamlessly across an organization, talking to people in different roles in a way that is appropriate to their specific goals, languages, or positions. They are able to handle different styles of communication with confidence and empathy.
4. Strategic Thinking:
The fourth superpower is strategic thinking. Great product managers don’t just focus on getting the product to the market; they also think about what happens next and how to measure success. They think about the future of the product and how to stay ahead of the competition.
5. Flexibility:
The fifth important superpower that great product managers possess is flexibility. They know that the product development process is iterative, and new information will always arise. They are able to pivot whenever necessary and adjust their strategy accordingly.
