? About the Event:
Founders bring energy, urgency, and strong vision — but “founder mode” leadership can create real challenges for Product Managers at any stage of a company.
This session breaks down how to manage sideways and upwards when decision-making is heavily founder-driven.

You will learn:

• How to stay aligned in fast-changing environments

• How to reduce chaos and improve communication

• How to advocate effectively for product strategy

• Practical techniques for working with founders

• How to keep the product moving forward despite unexpected shifts

Perfect for both startup PMs and PMs in large organizations where founder-style thinking still shapes decisions.
