Qualities of a Good Product Manager:
1. Translator: Can speak business, design, and tech. They can turn the "why" into a "what". Meaning they can translate intent into action.
2. Can Prioritize: There are always a hundred possible things a business or organization can do. However a good PM can help direct and prioritize talent and resources to have the biggest impact.
3. Unorthodox problem solver (Curiosity+Empathy+Challenger): A key thing that PMs focus on is solving the problem, by any means necessary.
4. Multi-disciplinary: By knowing a little bit of how things work- in business, design, tech- PMs can have a better 30k ft view of problem-solving. They can help facilitate the resources to move towards solving a problem, simply because they have an idea of what's possible. This allows the PM to superpower the team and let them do what they do best.
5. Vision and Intuition: PMs keep in perspective of the end goal. This allows them to plan ahead and keep the team productive and aimed towards the right goal.
6. Get SH*T DONE: At the end of the day, a good PM should be able to get things done through resourceful means. You can practice and demonstrate it by shipping your own product. That could be as simple as a small community website up to a product that solves a big problem.
