October 8, 2012 – Atlanta, Georgia – Jabian Consulting’s Fred Jewell is the featured speaker of the upcoming Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Product Management event, Product Against the World: Leading without Authority, occurring Wednesday, October 10, 2012, at Global Payments.

Product Managers work with stakeholders across the organization and throughout the product management lifecycle. Leading with Authority covers practical ideas to influence stakeholders one-on-one and provides a variety of easily implementable ideas to be applied immediately with key stakeholders in the organization, in the community, and at home.

Topics to be covered include:

Developing relationships

  • Communicating effectively – speech and writing patterns matter
  • Listening – it’s easy to be fascinating
  • Location, location, location – dealing with distance, even with co-location

Driving change and achieving follow-through

  • Inertia – the role of consistency and honor in others
  • Simplicity – eliminate the tedium
  • Follow-through – deadlines, expectations, and accountability

Being a leader

  • Walking the talk – the role of consistency, honor, and trust
  • Embracing ambiguity – being good at being uncomfortable
  • Reviewing work – being a different kind of critic
  • Stewardship – accountability and care for work
  • Courage – being bold is not the same as being fearless
