How great product management skills make us more resilient
summary
Claims that five concrete PM skills—prioritize like a boss, say no (not now), design user-friendly life—make people more resilient, backed by lived examples: furlough and job loss, a child’s liver failure and a teen’s double shoulder dislocation leading to surgery, and the concrete actions taken (reordering priorities, pruning social feeds, breathing to reduce emotion, keeping a “not now” roadmap). Evidence includes pivoting to run global facilitation and coaching sessions online and rebuilding a career pipeline via a personal roadmap.
