Podcast: Creating a Thriving Product Organization

Andrew Skotzko has started a product podcast called ENLIVEN.  He asked me to join for this episode on “creating a thriving product organization.”

We had a wide-ranging conversation about:

• Common product/company failure modes

• Becoming a product leader, and what to do in your first month on the job

• Conditions that enable product teams to be their best (“Teams that don’t finish anything quit”, “Caring is probably the #1 most important feature I see in engineering teams that get a lot of really good stuff done”)

• Making it OK to hear truth and speak truth

• Impostor syndrome & internalizing issues
