The hardest thing to do when you have the talent to hit a six?
Choosing to take a single instead.
Sanju Samson’s recent knock vs West Indies has been living rent-free in my head.

Curious:
Have you ever had to pull a team out of hero mode and into sustainable flow?
What did you change first—people, process, or incentives?
Would love to learn from your experience. 👇

If your company celebrates hero culture more than flow culture,
you’re probably leaking value in ways you don’t even see yet.
Ops done right looks “boring” from the outside.
From the inside, it feels like smooth inevitability.

Most people ask:
“Who hit the biggest shot today?”
The better question is:
“Who made the system stronger today?”
That’s the person you build around.

3️⃣ Ego vs North Star
He didn’t slow down to chase personal milestones.
He optimized only for the team’s run rate.

In ops: teams that worship siloed KPIs kill company velocity.
The only metric that matters is system throughput.

[Kamal Deo Prasad @kamal_prd]

6/
2️⃣ Resource Liquidity (Rotating the Strike)
Even when he was seeing the ball like a football, he kept rotating strike.
The scoreboard never stopped.

In ops: when your best people hoard work, they become bottlenecks.
Liquidity > heroics.

[Kamal Deo Prasad @kamal_prd]

5/
1️⃣ High-Velocity, Low-Variance Execution
He kept hitting grounded boundaries, not just aiming for the stands.
Low risk, high output.

In ops: you don’t need to “bet the company” to move fast.
You need boring, flawless fundamentals.

[Kamal Deo Prasad @kamal_prd]

Look at Samson’s innings as an ops case study.
It’s a masterclass in scaling output without blowing up the engine.
Three things stood out 👇

[Kamal Deo Prasad @kamal_prd]

3/
In business, we glorify “heroes”:
– The firefighter who saves the quarter
– The closer who pulls off the miracle deal
But in operations, constant heroics usually mean the system is broken.

[Kamal Deo Prasad @kamal_prd]

2/
He finished with a strike rate around 200.
But it wasn’t the usual highlight reel of wild swings and ego shots.
He played the system, not the gallery.

After mentoring developers and UPSC aspirants quietly for years, I'm starting to document lessons learned. Today's insight: The biggest career barrier isn't lack of skills - it's lack of consistent action. #Mentoring #CareerGrowth

@TheProductfolks 3. Satisfries: wrong value proposition was being sold. No one goes to burger king looking for healthier food. If customer needs healthy alternative they wouldn't look for it in burger king. Sell what people expect from you.

@TheProductfolks 2. Windows Vista : It had to be as good as windows Xp as XP was a well establish and reliable os for a long time. Having bug and performance issue was not acceptable just for better look. It had over all negative value proposition as compared to XP.
