Editor's Notes
- #3: What is in a title? What do they mean? Why do we care? How do titles affect your job as a product manager
- #9: Roots of stereotyping. Maybe the guy on the left is actually going to bash your head in, and the guy on the right is just hungry.
- #10: Older industries, especially consumer-facing industries, have titles that everyone understands.
- #14: There is only one Dalai Lama. What does that mean about the man?
- #15: There are a lot of cashiers. If one of them won’t help you, another one will. They’re interchangeable.
- #17: Important because it gives people a roadmap, and also because it gives people credit for where they have already gotten to.
