On this episode, Sr. Director of Product Management at ADP Ventures Shilpa Singh joins us as we talk about the art of influence. As a product manager, we are trained to be the expert of our product, market, customer and competitors. However, one of the most important soft skills that we need to master is to lead through influence. Learning this skill is often not taught in the classroom, but is equally, if not more, important than being the experts of our domain. In this session, Shilpa will discuss some of the strategies to maximize your ability to influence across your various stakeholders and partners, be it an engineer or an executive. Shilpa will also share her story of building a product that is a breakthrough innovation in an established industry, where the success of your product is dependent on changing the norms of thinking.
