Coalitions, Not Consensus: The Leadership Skill Product Managers Overlook

You’ve aligned the roadmap.
You’ve got the stakeholders in the room.
But still… things stall.
Why?

Because alignment isn’t enough. You need a coalition—shared purpose, mutual trust, and real support behind your product vision.

In our newest Patreon-exclusive Roadmap to Mastery article, we explore:

  • Why coalition-building is the PM leadership skill most often ignored
  • How to lead without authority by building deep cross-functional relationships
  • A case study where building a coalition led to on-time delivery and lasting collaboration

🧠 For PMs ready to lead at the next level.
