About this listen
In this episode of The Product Handbook, we focus on what product managers can do after layoffs — how to lead their teams, stabilize the roadmap, and help the organization recover while protecting their own energy and career trajectory.
You’ll learn:
- How to re-establish clarity when priorities, stakeholders, and team capacity shift overnight
- Ways to support remaining team members through uncertainty without slipping into toxic positivity
- How to reassess the roadmap using constraints, opportunity sizing, and ruthless prioritization
- Practical strategies for communicating with executives, engineers, and customers during post-layoff turbulence
- How to maintain your own resilience, manage workload spikes, and stay strategic instead of reactive
- How to rebuild momentum and trust as the org transitions into its new shape
If you’ve ever been the PM left standing after a reorg or wave of layoffs, this episode gives you the tools to lead with stability, empathy, and focus — even when the ground is shifting under your feet.
