#2Learn to love people.
Go out and speak to customers - find out what they love and hate about your product. What's within your power to change? What isn't?
Talk to business people and find out what their priorities are. If they have a target for X% customer growth, what would you change about the product to achieve it?
Get a portfolio. Not just a GitHub page of commits - but a deck showing what management decisions you've made, why you made them, how you got people to support you, what impact they had.
Those are just off the top of my head. Best of luck!

One of his graduate students was my instructor for Social Psychology at UC Santa Cruz.
Apple has - or at least had, in the mid-nineties - an internal discussion board which permits complete anonymity. I was the only participant who used his real name.
I once offered to lend my own copy of The Social Animal to any Apple employee who would read it. My reason for doing so was that I observed many of my coworkers experiencing or exhibiting the kinds of things discussed in his chapter on self-justification.
No one took me up on my offer. Not even one.
