PM lead tanpa authority. Skill influence tanpa boss-power adalah skill langka tapi sangat berharga.
PM ngga punya direct report tapi punya influence. Cara: be the most informed person about product. Build trust dengan deliver. Empathize dengan everyone's perspective. Bawa positive energy. Earn respect, jangan demand.
Disagreement umum di tim cross-functional. Engineering vs design. PM vs sales. Product vs marketing. Resolution: zoom out ke shared goal. Acknowledge each side concern. Find creative solution win-win. Escalate kalau buntu.
RACI: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed. DACI: Driver, Approver, Contributors, Informed. Bantu clarify siapa pemegang keputusan untuk decision tertentu. Hindari assumption dan miscommunication.
Sometimes engineer atau designer lebih senior dari PM. Treat dengan extra respect. Acknowledge expertise. Ask for input. Frame your role sebagai facilitator, bukan boss. They appreciate humility. Trust akan datang seiring waktu.
Be reliable (deliver promise). Communicate clearly. Show care for team. Defend tim publicly. Celebrate other people success. Be advocate for users. Jangan politis. Build long-term reputation. Career capital untuk peluang masa depan.
