Leading through Influence: A Product Manager’s Playbook

Join us for a fireside chat with Nick Katis, a veteran product leader, as he shares how product managers create impact through influence, not authority.

Nick will unpack what it really means to be the “glue” of a product team — aligning engineering, design, sales, marketing, customer support, and other stakeholders — and how this plays out across big and small companies, in both hardware and software. You’ll hear real-world stories and walk away with actionable insights on leading cross-functional product teams, building trust, and driving results without formal power.

This is an Inside the Classroom event hosted by Professor Elaine Chen, who teaches ENT162 Bringing Product to Market at Tufts University.
