Product Leaders: Visibility is your responsibility. Don't just say, "Oh, that's all politics." If you don't take 100% ownership of communicating your achievements to your organization, your career suffers. But even more so, the company suffers because wrong decisions get made on who gets promoted and put in charge of important things. Do the work, and then take responsibility for communicating it.
Couldn't agree more. I've seen too many brilliant minds stay in the shadows because they thought their work would speak for itself.
Well said. It's not only communicating your achievements but how you communicate, at the right time, all part of your responsibility!
This is critical for product managers who spend 90% of their time working with cross-functional teams that don't directly impact their career growth. Great post, Shobhit!
Great Advice! With a fast paced work environment, default behavior would be to put this in the backburner. However, its a critical personal growth task that needs to be done.
Excellent advice! And, it's applicable to any career.
I agree!
Couldn't agree more! 🙌 It's like saying 'I'll let my work speak for itself' and then wondering why it's whispering. Ever noticed how some folks are great at showcasing their wins? Like how indie game devs on Twitter share their development milestones - it gets them noticed, builds anticipation, and opens doors. We need to do the same in our corporate roles!
