Types of PMs?
Hi All, I ran across this on LinkedIn this weekend and it got my attention. As a former Technical PM and not a Product Leader...who has been a strategy PM and a growth PM and and and...this made me feel like we are again "pigeon holing" the role. But I'd love to hear your thoughts!?

It's an interesting infographic. On first glance it feels like a smart overview. Looking in more detail I feel it's a bit off, for example a start-up PM wouldn't necessarily have lots of data and insights so wouldn't be strong there. A Product leader would need to be strongest in aligning stakeholders and communicate and may not be building roadmaps. I think you are right about pigeon holing, a Product Manager needs to be different things at different times depending on the situation. There isn't one clear cut list of requirements
Product webinar
Watched a previous session last month with Ramli and Jacob which was great. Would recommend checking out this next session (it's free!) https://maven.com/p/68b235/6-ai-agents-every-pm-needs-to-hire?utm_medium=ll_share_link&utm_source=maven
Sunday is not a pre-Monday.
Can we talk about Sundays for a second? Because if you're in a demanding product role, you know the feeling. That creeping anxiety that starts somewhere around 4pm. The itch to just check Slack. To scan your email. To get ahead of whatever Monday is going to throw at you. I did it for years. I even made a deal with a CEO once that I'd always check my emails on Sunday night so we could "hit the ground running" on Mondays. I'm going to need a minute to apologize to that version of me. 🤣 But what if the creative brain does not run on empty. It runs on rest. On input that has nothing to do with work. On walks and books and bad TV and long lunches and whatever it is that makes you feel like a person again. Sunday is not prep time. Sunday is not a warm-up act. Sunday is yours. No email. No Slack. No quick check on progress. No "just five minutes." None of it. Let yourself actually stop. The job will be there Monday. You'll do it better if you showed up having actually rested. What do you do on Sundays to protect your brain?

I realised a few years back this and most problems can be solved by three magic letters... DOG. Every Sunday morning is spent doing this now. Although, it's Sunday morning and we have stopped for coffee and I am planning in my head for the work ahead this week 😅 maybe I still need to work on this...
