About this Event
Come to a book launch party to celebrate Aligned's publication! Bring your stakeholder horror stories and what you've learned.
There are many books on the hard skills of product management, but not much on the soft skill of stakeholder management. Bruce McCarthy and Melissa Appel have written the missing reference manual on this critical topic: .
“Most of your work as a product leader is aligning people (and keeping them aligned). Aligned is the best book I’ve come across to help build this critical skill.” Lenny Rachitsky, Author, Lenny’s Newsletter
Share your worst stakeholder experiences and what you learned. We'll have books to sign and free copies for the most dreadful stories.
“Aligned gave me a touch of PTSD! The characters and situations brought me back to challenges I faced throughout my career. I wish I had this book to provide context, understanding, and useful frameworks to navigate a successful path. Aligned is essential reading if you happen to work with people.” Jason Moens, former VP Product, Flywire and Toast
