In our endless chase of objectivity & numbers in product work, it is quite easy to miss that almost every product we use & love was created due to a subjective insight followed by a creative leap by one person (or a tiny team), and then followed by even more creative execution.

SVPG #ProductManagement Quote of the Day

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

When some senior leaders join a team, they think that the previous leaders & team must be idiots because “Look at all the problems here”, often not realizing that it took extraordinary effort & insight to even get to the stage where it became necessary to hire said senior leader.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

When you describe what your startup does, describe it in the most matter of fact way possible. Professional investors hate having to decode marketing-speak. Describing your startup in grandiose terms is the mark of a noob.

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Your customers’ feedback about what’s most painful & frustrating about your product is typically a lot more trustworthy than their take on what new features you should build.

No company takes a bunch of subject matter experts, sends them to a class, and then makes them a software engineer.

So why is that okay for Product Managers?
