Eight Traits: Product Mastery
04/22/25 • 11 min
Product Mastery – The Tech Leader’s Force Multiplier
Most tech leaders settle for “understanding the product.” But true product mastery is something else entirely. It’s the difference between being a tech "leader" and being a genuine executive. In this episode, the final one in the series, we unpack what product mastery really means, why it’s the trait that amplifies all the others, and how it lets you shape not just what gets built—but what wins. If you’ve ever felt like your team’s impact is capped by business decisions you don’t control, this is your way in.

The Notebook Test
Imagine if your private leadership notebook — the one where you wrote what you really think about your team — suddenly became public.
How surprised would they be reading it? How surprised would you be watching their reactions?
In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable but essential gap between what leaders think and what they actually say.
Learn why withholding honest feedback creates silent confusion, why coaching means sharing the real story early, and how radical transparency can turn things around.
