Nano-letter: ONE THING on Product Culture Every Week
One insight I had, one great article I read, one amazing person I met, one question I need your help with, one product job that needs someone awesome. Sign up and I promise never to waste your time.
Are you making deliberate decisions for your product or are you doing what everyone else is doing?
Move from being a name on a business card to being a trusted peer.
Stop calling them agile retrospectives or post mortems. Just start talking about the real stuff.
What is your job? Slave to the process or architect of the outcome. Most product leaders are trapped in Product Hell, measured by tickets instead of impact. It is time to reclaim your agency as a builder.
"Nodding does not mean yes. It means the real conversation is happening somewhere else without you."
Most product leaders are drowning in the details of requirements and backlogs. It is time to reclaim your agency.
Stop staring at your camera lens. Real eye contact happens when the technology disappears.
Too many options dilute focus. Product leaders often design meetings for every edge case instead of optimizing the one conversation that matters most.

Every product leader loves a quick approval. But a fast yes often means a stakeholder is not actually engaged. Learn how to probe for true commitment.
