This is a lunch meeting for the St. Louis Product Management Group. This is an informal gathering; we don't have reservations or a separate room, though we usually grab a big table in the back (or outside, if the weather is nice). Look for the table(s) with the product management books on it. The start time for this meeting will hopefully avoid the lunch crowd: Arrive by 12:30pm so you can order start the discussion by 12:45pm or so, and we usually break up by 2pm. There is no presentation, no discussion leader. The purpose is to allow you to meet up with other Product Managers and "talk shop." To help guide (or at least start) the discussion, I'll try and provide a general topic. For this month... TOPIC: Product Management Leadership -- It is often said that product managers have all of the responsibility and none of the authority. How do you successfully deal with "leading" a team while maybe not "managing" anyone? WHAT TO BRING: Required: money for lunch Optional: Information to share; questions to ask others; business cards; something to take notes on If you can't make it out for an evening meeting, or want more of an opportunity for informal discussion, this should be just the event for you. It's an opportunity to meet other product managers, learn, share, and have some good food -- and it will probably be one of the most productive and beneficial meetings you'll have all day!
