Coach the PM→Director transition across four key situations
by deanpetersFree
Description
director-readiness-advisor is a coaching skill for the move from product manager to director. It works out which of four situations you are in (preparing, interviewing, landed or recalibrating) and gives guidance for that stage. It uses adaptive questions rather than a readiness checklist, and it frames the advice as a coaching conversation calibrated to your situation rather than generic leadership advice. Example cases include a senior PM preparing for director interviews over the next quarter, a newly promoted director who cannot stop jumping into tactical work, and a director who has been in the role for eighteen months and whose executive relationships are not working. You give your current stage as the argument, and the estimated session is 10 to 15 minutes. The skill sits in the career and leadership theme of the product-manager-skills repository on GitHub.…
