leadership-transition
The leadership-transition command guides product managers through promotions to director, VP, or chief product officer roles by diagnosing readiness across leadership competencies, clarifying decision rights with stakeholders, and building structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plans. Use this when preparing for a step-up promotion or navigating early challenges in a new leadership position.
