Product culture that prioritizes short-term goals and outputs over long-term growth and outcomes can be detrimental to a company's success.Product managers often act as 'waiters' taking orders and executing them without questioning, which hinders innovation and growth.This cultural shift leads to a business-led or sales-led mindset rather than a product-led approach.To overcome toxic product culture, product managers should focus on long-term goals, drive growth, and prioritize user-centric solutions.
