Thanks @anirudhofficial for spending 954 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Pathala Pathala. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/hEMcj6a619
Being a PM is just saying these things until you retire:
What is our goal here?
Is there an agenda for this meeting?
I'll take notes
What is the status?
Promising idea, but not now
Biweekly, as in every other week
Any way to get it done faster?
We should sync more often
Having done my schooling in Tamil Nadu I confirm that this Tamil phrase is the one I learned first, used the most often and have used consistently on many occasions throughout my life. Sometimes loudly, but usually under my breath… 😊
An unfortunate aspect of big company life is that easily half your meetings in 2022 will be useless, a hilarious joke there is that you won’t know which half, and yet a comical realization there is that we seem to agree it is definitely true for the meetings organized by others.
Be careful with teams using the word “driven” as a suffix
Because these are very different things:
Customer-driven vs Customer-focused
PM-driven vs PM-led
Metrics-driven vs. Metrics-informed
Sales-driven vs Revenue-focused
OKR-driven vs OKR-guided

Choose words carefully
Looking forward my @CRED_club session on Product Sense and more, followed by a bonus chat with the one & only @kunalb11
If you are a PM or a product-focused Founder, I hope you will sign up here for this Dec 8 event: https://t.co/VEMVBXnI86
Facts leaders must accept sooner or later
1) People aren’t exactly like you
2) No one can read your mind
3) So clarify & repeat-repeat-repeat
4) You can’t force people to change
5) You can listen better
6) And thank people more often
I stubbornly resisted this. Don’t be me
Your peers focus more on the analytical stuff (math, models, systems...) because they think it makes them look smarter and less on the softer stuff (mindset, feelings, people...) because they think it makes them look weak.
You can join that herd, or differentiate. Choose wisely.
