You have to be able to thrive in chaos. And equanimity is the most important skill I've developed. It means mental calmness, composure, evenness of temper, especially in crazy, stressful situations. It's really the ability to pause before reacting. And reactivity is the root cause of so many of our workplace woes and product management frustrations. And when you're able to pause before reacting, you can start to undo and break a lot of those negative patterns in your brain. It gives you this outsized advantage in everything from stakeholder management, team morale, to the way you're able to translate user feedback to product development velocity. When you're able to cultivate that level of self-awareness for yourself, you're able to chart a clear path forward for your team and serve as a compass in the chaos.
