Episode notes
Treat Revenue As An Ongoing Problem
- Growing revenue is a persistent problem that deserves continuous product focus, not a one-off project.
- Lea Hickman argues you should assign teams to wake up every day to solve enduring priorities like revenue.
Don’t Confuse Titles With Adoption
- Avoid ‘product management theater’ like renaming roles without building skills and adoption.
- Invest in coaching, skill development, and cultural change rather than just changing titles.
Strengthen Product Leadership Muscle
- Product leaders must be declarative, make hard prioritization calls, and structure teams around problems.
- Move from bottom-up inventorying to a clear vision that assigns accountability and success criteria.
