Product Leadership and Collaborative Decision-Making: How to Make Better Decisions as a Team

As a Product Manager, do you often feel under pressure to always make the right decision?

Does it often seem like it's all up to you to see the future, evangelize for it, bring the team along, and then execute?

It doesn't have to be like this. We can increase team and stakeholder buy-in and reduce unnecessary pressure on ourselves by reducing the number of decisions we make alone, and increasing the number of collaborative decisions we facilitate on our teams. In this session, Laura will share some simple facilitation techniques that will lead to great conversations and solid Product decisions. Come to learn the basics or refresh your skillset!
