From founder to product leader

Transitioning from being a hands-on founder to a product leader in an established organization is a unique journey that comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities.

Different constraints, same principles

While the constraints change, the core principles of good product leadership remain the same: focus on user needs, make data-driven decisions, and build great teams.

Learning to work within systems

As a founder, you create the systems. As a product leader, you work within existing ones. This requires a different kind of strategic thinking.

The power of influence over authority

Leading through influence rather than direct authority is a skill that becomes crucial in larger organizations.
