Excerpts:
What are the key skills that successful Product Managers at Google have?
In my perception, most PMs at Google have to be good at (in no particular order)
1. Managing immense complexity ( a direct result of the mixed structure here at Google)
2. Influencing people, a trait that needs credibility, communication skills, and a people-skills
3. Making decisions. One needs to be able to decide, take responsibility for those decisions and live with it
4. Something that is different from the rest. Have to have something special in terms of achievements in their background. This is especially true for the generalists who can’t necessarily distinguish themselves on uber-sector-specific-experience. That special sauce could be starting one’s own company at some point, MBA from a top B-school, or some such thing. Something which helps differentiate you from the rest in some way
5. Extremely good understanding of the Internet services landscape and opinions on everything form state of online video market to new mobile business models to future of search
6. A passionate self-starting personality helps. Self-starting especially because no one seems to tell you what to do out here, yet everything seems to be doing the things they need to do
