This Head of Product Growth thought she was adding value in an exec meeting.
Then, her CEO stopped her and said "Hey, I want to share some feedback... you should listen more than you speak."
He delivered the message in a kind way.
But it was still hard to hear.
Because up to that moment, she thought she was showing initiative. Filling space with details she thought was important, and proving her smarts.
But to her CEO, it was interrupting.
She could have gotten defensive, or shrugged it off. Instead, she took it seriously - and changed how she showed up.
She started listening longer before speaking.
She built space in meetings so others felt heard.
And eventually, she shared that same lesson with someone on her team.
My full conversation with Rana Mumtaz explores her career journey and three career-defining moments that shaped her as a leader:
Navigating imposter syndrome
Turf wars with peers
Learning to keep her identity separate from her work.
