<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">All the sexy stories around product management come from startups, or revolve around working like a startup. Working in an enterprise gets much less respect &#8211; but being successful in a large firm is no picnic. It takes a very particular set of skills to be able to communicate, influence, prioritise and execute at scale &#8211; something Alicia Dixon, who has thrived at all levels, talks with us about.  </span></p>
<p>In this episode, sponsored by <a href="https://amplitude.com/mastering-retention?utm_source=mindtheproduct" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amplitude</a>, listen to learn about:</p>
<ul>
<li>How to say no to people</li>
<li>Enterprise Product Management</li>
<li>Working with stakeholders</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: inherit; font-family: rawline, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75rem;">Quote of the Episode</span></h3>
<blockquote><p>People really don&#8217;t like to hear the word NO, so what you do is you say NO by saying YES. Instead of telling them &#8220;No I can&#8217;t do this and that&#8217;s the end of that,&#8221; you say &#8220;Well, I can do this for you,&#8221; or &#8220;Yes, this is what what we&#8217;re going to do for you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
