## Dimensions of Product Managers
1. Customer focused vs revenue/metrics focused
2. Collaborative/influencer vs literal CEO of product
3. Mature company/product org vs expectation to do design/data
4. 0-1 new product and vision vs incremental tests
5. Fast building vs patience and risk assessment
6. Desire for complexity/understanding the rules vs disrupting and rewriting the rules
