"High performance" is one of the most abused terms in business. It's vague enough to mean anything. Boards love it because it sounds strategic. Senior leaders love it because it gives them cover to fire people fast and call it "raising the bar." 1/8

Stop waiting to be empowered. Start taking ownership. I hear this constantly: • "We're not empowered." • "Leadership won't let us make decisions." • "The org isn't set up for us to succeed" And from CEOs, the mirror image: • "They don't take ownership" 1/6

You don't have a discovery problem. You have a logistics problem. Most product teams know they should speak to users regularly. Few actually do it. Not because they don't care. Because every conversation requires recruiting, screening, scheduling, prepping, and analysing. 1/8

Your CEO changed priorities again. The team is frustrated. Nothing shipped last quarter. This is common in startups where CEOs feel they should "stay agile." But it creates a vicious cycle: → Priorities change every few weeks → Features get rushed out without discovery 1/8

Most product development fails because teams spend months building features nobody want. 5 pillars I rely on to de-risk product decisions: 𝟭 - 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 • Building products is expensive • PMs exist to maximise return on that investment • Not every feature needs the same validation 1/10

For most companies, going "product-led" is a complete disaster, and they soon revert to a feature factory. It's a predictable pattern: • Product teams cheer. • Leadership steps back. • Accountability quietly disappears. • Then… it all blows up. WHAT COMPANIES THINK THEY ARE DOING 1/9

It's not about the PRD. The whole discussion about PRDs vs. vibe coding is missing the point. It's about thinking clearly and sharing your thinking efficiently with humans and AI. This is a fundamental skill that won't go out of date. And it's exactly what you need to work with AI. 1/9

Your product team costs roughly £1 million a year to run. Every sprint planning is a £40K investment decision. A week is £20K you can't spend elsewhere. Most PMs never think about it this way. And that's a problem. 1/9

Fighting for autonomy is a sign of immaturity, not competence. Immature PMs often: • Fight for autonomy. • Want to call the shots. • Want product to decide everything. But you never get to do exactly what you want. • CEOs have boards and investors • Freelancers have clients 1/4

You've heard evals are important. But you don't really know what they are. Let's fix that. Evals = QA for AI. But AI is probabilistic — same input, different output every time. Traditional testing doesn't work. Evals = QA for non-deterministic systems 1/7

Most product leaders have no idea if their teams are actually on track. They set the strategy. Hired the people. Kicked off the work. Then... silence until launch day. This is like building a printer and never checking if the colours are aligned. 1/9
