Great product managers do more than tell a story.
They build a shared belief.


Look at Apple. 
Their keynotes aren't about specs.
They're about a vision of the future. 


That's the power of a story that resonates.
It’s not about manipulation. 
It’s about creating meaning.


When you can get people to see what you see, that's true leadership.
It reminds me of Simon Sinek's great line: 
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”


When that belief is shared, everything else falls into place.


P.S. Does your team truly believe in your product's "why"?
