@happysubstack still see AI orgs scrambling for their golden egg rather than having clear breakthroughs to serve as catalysts into investments from tech perspective at least
but not a bad place to buy
junior pm: i have to run my first global alignment meeting and i'm freaking out
senior pm: what's your plan?
junior pm: schedule the call, walk everyone through the proposal, get buy-in
senior pm: how many people?
junior pm: like 8 stakeholders across 4 time zones
senior pm: and you're meeting them for the first time... in the alignment meeting?
junior pm: well yeah. that's the point of the meeting
senior pm: there's your problem
junior pm: what do you mean?
senior pm: alignment meetings don't create alignment
junior pm: then what's the point?
senior pm: they confirm alignment you already have
junior pm: i don't follow
senior pm: have you talked to any of these 8 people yet?
junior pm: i sent them the pre-read
senior pm: that's not talking
junior pm: so i should... call them first?
senior pm: every single one. 1:1. before the big meeting
junior pm: that's 8 separate calls just to prep for 1 meeting
senior pm: now you're getting it
junior pm: seems like a lot
senior pm: it's the whole job
junior pm: what would i even say in these calls?
senior pm: you're not saying. you're listening
junior pm: listening to what?
senior pm: their fears. their motivations. their hidden objections
junior pm: why wouldn't they just say that in the meeting?
senior pm: politics. pride. audience
junior pm: so they'll tell me privately what they won't say publicly?
senior pm: if you ask right
junior pm: how do i ask right?
senior pm: frame it as soliciting their expertise
junior pm: "i'm new to this and want your input"?
senior pm: exactly. people love feeling like the wise advisor
junior pm: and then i just... shut up?
senior pm: shut up and write everything down
junior pm: what am i looking for?
senior pm: conflicting goals between stakeholders. who wants what and why
junior pm: ok say i do all this. what changes?
senior pm: two things
junior pm: go on
senior pm: first, you adjust your proposal based on what you learned
junior pm: makes sense
senior pm: second, you sprinkle their exact phrases into your presentation
junior pm: why?
senior pm: people support what they helped create
junior pm: even if they didn't technically create it
senior pm: especially then
junior pm: what about the difficult ones? the ones who'll disagree no matter what?
senior pm: you pre-negotiate
junior pm: how?
senior pm: in your 1:1, you say "i know you have concerns about X. i can't fully address them. can you disagree and commit in the meeting?"
junior pm: you can just ask that?
senior pm: you'd be surprised how often the answer is yes
junior pm: because you asked privately
senior pm: because you respected them enough to ask
junior pm: so the alignment meeting itself is basically...
senior pm: a ceremony
junior pm: confirming decisions already made
senior pm: in hallways. in 1:1s. in coffee chats
junior pm: the meeting before the meeting
senior pm: now you're ready to run alignment
@Grimjows although we won't ever see fed QE on the level or scale of COVID anytime in the near future, once QE started in March 2020 it also took about 7-9 months before sentiment started to shift.
The market will likely stay irrational for way longer than any of us expect
@sophiekornchip@monad Thank you Sophie for arranging all the amazing Monad events. Looking forward to what’s next and I’m sure you’ll crush it in your next role.
Does not contribute anything whatsoever to keeping things discreet lol
Why can’t they just make something without any logo?
Enough people are getting robbed already ffs
Wen Lambo? Now.
We've partnered with @Lamborghini to create a custom Ledger Stax, connecting the pinnacle of automotive design with the highest standard of security and our most premium signer.
@ChocoXXXI well people sure bartered a lot around the marketplace isn't it? Now there is no presence of chats around the marketplace. Though, it's fair to say that people might not participate since the price is pretty clear cut based on listing.
Does it make sense for NFT market places to have a runescape / maplestory marketplace-esque chat room for people to barter and throw offers to negotiate directly?
Seems like going to discord as a intermediary place to negotiate offers is a barrier to entry.
