100x Product Manager, yep.

100x Project Manager? I don’t see it. Not that they don’t bring value, but project managers just don’t have enough leverage in the process to be 100x.

I should have mentioned that this magical 100X PM chooses the right solution to the biggest problem. I'm not referring to the PM who manages a project he or she was given. You can't manage your way to glory if you're solving a problem no one cares about.

Think Drew Houston deciding that magically syncing files on save without an explicit "Do you want to sync" step was a good idea. Magic doesn't happen often, but it exists in the world.

Yes, in a certain way, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc. are millionX PMs.
