<p>Product people love to study frameworks, techniques, and approaches that have worked at other companies. In Kate Leto&#8217;s new book, <a href="https://amzn.to/3m2VMHe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Hiring Product Managers: Using Product EQ to go Beyond Culture and Skills</em></a>, she gives an overview of how to actually use those tools &#8211; both in building a team and day-to-day, as a product professional.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">In this episode, sponsored by </span><a style="background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 1rem;" href="https://amplitude.com/mastering-retention?utm_source=mindtheproduct" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amplitude</a><span style="font-size: 1rem;">, listen to learn about:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>What Product EQ is</li>
<li>How to hire well</li>
<li>Hiring diversity</li>
<li>Human skill vs. tech skill</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: inherit; font-family: rawline, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75rem;">Quote of the Episode</span></h3>
<blockquote><p>As with anything that doesn&#8217;t go right, there&#8217;s always finger-pointing. If you did have higher levels of human skills, maybe you&#8217;d be able to acknowledge that you made your own mistakes &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t that be great?</p></blockquote>
