Here this week’s 3 picks:
🥫All roads lead to the Product
From Marty Cagan, author of “Inspired: How to create tech products customers love”, a brilliant introduction to becoming a Product Manager. If your startup doesn’t have a PM yet (and you’re acting as one for now), or if you want to better understand what Product people do - this is well worth a read in any case.
💡 Ideas of the week
Not one, but two lists of very useful ideas to help us think better. First, 12 techniques to improve decision making and problem solving. Second, 50 (or is it 51? ;) ideas to inspire your curiosity.
How many did you know about - but more importantly, how many could you put to use, next week?
👭 It’s all about People
Finally, have you been listening? I mean, really listening? Derek Gaunt, author of Ego, Authority, Failure, explains how there are actually 5 levels of listening. A great insight I’ll keep in mind in future 1-on-1s and informal chats.
Have a great week!
