Ibrahim: This nice condensed view of a broad discipline does two things at once; cuts through the noise to try and bring the core principles around this profession to the reader's attention, and looking a bit above the 'definition' it presents the real opportunity to show empathy for hiring managers, HR, engineering and design -- and especially the PM candidates they are sourcing, interviewing, hiring -- when they are all collaboratively trying to hire for a PM (no matter the level).

Since the definition of this role is so ambiguous, and it changes as fast as the tech / software industry is changing, empathy for each function's struggle, and for the candidates trying to fit into different definitions of a PM, should encourage and drive greater clarity around that definition -- at least within one organization.

Excellent maxims and modes of thinking to keep in mind and to use as 'checks' when making decisions.
