You’re a janitor: You do as much of the dirty work as possible so everyone else doesn’t have to (so the team operates more efficiently)

2. Put Everything in Writing — Then Tier It : Executive summaries, wiki pages, PRDs, and launch plans are four types of documents that can aid in operational excellency.

Ownership: I can give you a problem statement, but you’re the one who determines what your job is. You don’t get driven around by the team; you figure out what the team needs, and you deliver that.

You’re the product: The product your team builds and ships is the most faithful representation of your success as a PM.

You’re a super user: Eat your own dog food and talk to people who do too.

3. Strategic - You have PMF and a 2-3 year runway. Your Strategic PM, usually director level or VP level, will take your company's overall long-term vision and lay out the pathways that pave your way towards that. These pathways involve major decisions that could alter the company's future.
