Connective Tissue...
There's a particular kind of PM that I call the connective tissue. You're the one making sure everyone's on the same page. You're holding the product vision while also making sure engineering doesn't feel blindsided, design doesn't feel unheard, and leadership knows what's actually happening. You're the glue.
And you're probably terrible at taking credit for it.
Because the better you are at your job, the more invisible your work becomes. The team moves smoothly. Launches happen. People forget that it's because you held all of that together.
But here's the thing: your career doesn't move forward on invisible work. It moves forward on work that people know you did.
So I'm curious: How do you balance being the person who makes everyone else successful without disappearing yourself in the process? What does that actually look like for you?
