God, isnt that the truth. I've had more than one PO who was an inveterate climber that would prioritize delivery over quality every time, because the role was just a stepping stone to the C-Suite. Now they're probably all CPO's that rain their shitty culture down on the whole product group.

Speaking as a product leader myself, PMs who prioritize delivery over everything else, absent a specific business mandate to do so in the short term, are shitty PMs that I would not endorse for promotion. That kind of shit is wack and I hope never to work in a fiat mine with that kind of product culture.
