Being a product manager isn’t just about steering a product to success. It’s about steering careers, supporting personal growth, and creating an environment where team members feel valued, understood, and supported.
Investing in team members' holistic well-being promotes trust, innovation, and retention.
To create a sense of belonging, product managers should practice active listening, personalized mentorship, celebrate holistic success, and foster psychological safety.
Acknowledging and supporting team members as complete human beings is the most important metric for success.
