Hi Shilpia, Did you watch just this video and passed the interview?
Thank you! This is very helpful for me as a software engineer and business analyst I like being a leader and want to move to product management. I have 5 years of professional experience yet it's really hard to get the position when you don't have product management experience. A lot of these companies also have around 5 interviews and it becomes a draining process! I am practicing as many interview questions as I can with my own answers of course but this helps a lot!
Passed the interview and got the job! This video helped me a lot. Thank you Richard!

I've worked with product managers at small and large companies since the early 90s, and while what "product manager" meant varied a lot, in no case was a product manager a leader of a team. They *worked* with teams, but the were not "managers" in the personnel sense. That said, I really appreciate this video.

I agree. Answers are good when you are starting as a new PM or new to the field. If one is a seasoned PM or a business analyst moving to a new role, the answers have to be substantiated along with examples. A candidate providing generic responses will not be seen as strong as the one who provided examples in each of his/her responses. You can't explain "how will you resolve conflict" unless you have actually experienced or used techniques to alleviate the difference of opinion.
