Becoming and Leading a Product Team

What does it really take to go from Product Manager to Head of Product? In this episode of The Product Handbook, we unpack the evolution from execution to strategic leadership.

We’ll break down the core responsibilities of a Head of Product — from shaping vision and defining KPIs to leading teams and influencing company culture. You’ll hear how this role differs from day-to-day product management, and why storytelling, stakeholder alignment, and quantifiable impact are your best tools for leveling up.

Whether you’re eyeing that next big title or wondering if you’re already doing half the job, this episode will help you map the path and measure your progress.
