About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of emotional intelligence for product managers in a data-driven and AI-powered environment.

As product management becomes increasingly data-driven and AI-powered, one human capability is growing in importance: emotional intelligence. In this episode, you'll discover why emotional intelligence is a critical complement to data, analytics, and AI, how it helps product managers and product leaders create better products and build stronger relationships, and why it may have a greater impact on product success than intellectual ability alone. You'll also learn practical techniques for strengthening your emotional intelligence—from increasing self-awareness and self-management to developing empathy, active listening, and conflict-resolution skills.
