In this episode, I interview Shannon Vettes, a Product Coach and consultant, to explore leadership, product organization and culture.
We discuss Shannon's journey from engineering to product coaching. Shannon emphasizes the importance of diversity, and inclusion in creating high-performing teams and products.
She also provides insights into the differences between product practices in the US and Europe. Additionally, Shannon talks about the transition from project-based to product-based organizations and the need for focus, transparency and empathy to foster a safe environment for teams. Shannon also emphasizes the significance of company culture, diversity, and talent development.
