Stop Judging Ideas by Job Title

from #HowIPM - Bi-Weekly Product Management Tips and Tricks Hosted by Jeremy Horn

The How I PM collection includes 50 strategies from practicing product leaders. Most are available exclusively to Product Way members. Renata McCurley, Founder of Mariposa Insights, has led product teams for over 20 years across consulting and enterprise environments. In this tip, she addresses a pattern that costs teams their most creative thinking: filtering ideas by the job title of the person who raised them. Renata shares how she challenges that pattern on her own teams. She talks about making technical recommendations to her engineers, why her team evaluates contributions on merit regardless of role, and what opens up when a team commits to hearing ideas before checking credentials. 👉 Get the full library of 50 How I PM strategies plus PM Select, where we connect product managers with companies actively hiring for PM roles: https://patreon.com/theproductway/membership
