Level up your leadership skills! This training teaches you how to successfully manage stakeholders, build high-performing product teams, and become an inspiring product leader. With the rise of AI, strong leadership has never been more important. It ensures that teams stay focused on user value, business outcomes, and ethical boundaries—not just adding AI.
In a small-group setting, you will learn proven product leadership techniques and tools that you can immediately apply to increase your influence and authority, achieve greater alignment, set the right goals, secure strong buy-in to product decisions, and successfully deal with challenging people.
What’s more, the course is not just theory: You’ll apply some of the learnings to your specific leadership challenges. This includes working on your leadership style, improving the goals and outcomes you set, and resolving a recent dispute.
The training is based on Roman’s extensive experience of working with product leaders and coaching product teams. It is inspired by his book How to Lead in Product Management and teaches his latest insights, together with new tools and techniques.
Who the training is for
The training is ideal for product professionals who want to get better at leading others and take on a senior product role. This includes product managers, product owners, and product executives, like a Head of Product and Chief Product Officer.
How the training is delivered
Roman delivers the course as an engaging, instructor-led workshop with a mix of lectures, discussions, hands-on exercises, and plenty of Q&A. This will allow you to get your questions answered by him and benefit from his decade-long experience in working with product leaders.

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to complete Roman’s Product Management Leadership course. To be able to learn directly from the author who helped me kickstart my career, and to discuss how I can take my skills to the next level, was deeply gratifying. I’m feeling inspired and re-energised to bring these insights back to my team and continue growing as a product leader.
