Guest Presentation: Love, Addiction, and Product Management - A Manager's Guide to Maintaining Balance The focus and drive needed to transform an idea into a marketable product is intense, and often becomes personal for a product manager. What happens when a labor of love ends up being a solution looking for a problem? When does enthusiasm for a product turn into blind love? How does a manager keep their team -- and even themselves -- grounded and objective? This seminar will focus on an overlooked aspect of product management -- the danger of falling in love with one's product or project! Discussion will center on how this happens, and what a manager can do to help balance innovation and vision with client needs and market realities. Presenter: Peggy O'Keefe, Adjunct Professor, New York University, Baruch College
