A longtime consultant, author and teacher, we grabbed him for a chat focusing on some of the lessons contained in his fourth book, <em><a href="https://www.romanpichler.com/romans-books/how-to-lead-in-product-management" target="_blank" rel="&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer">How to Lead in Product Management</a>.</em></p>
