Key learnings
  • Process reduces variance but can pull down top performers; introduce it deliberately and give high performers escape hatches…
  • Reframe failure as learning: rename postmortems 'retrospectives' and have people share failure learnings publicly to normalize…
  • Lower the stakes of big bets by using small teams, getting customer feedback early, and not waiting for perfection before testing.
