Reflection cue for the EOY - think about all the places you put effort, albeit small. Remember perfect is the enemy of progress.

To operate effectively through a crisis:
Focus sharply on the *one thing* you can do next.
Paralysis comes when people sit in emotion & overwhelm.
"One thing" mindset begins motion - with a simple, clear foot forward.
Do one thing...recenter, do another & keep going.

I really like the phrasing of "scaling" product development.
So much of what we do when building a product is focused on scaling the product itself, not the team.
But as a product leader, we should be thinking of how to scale our efforts as well.
give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will screw it up; give a mediocre idea to a great team, they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something that works - ed catmull

Great point. There is a big difference between optimism and enthusiasm. Optimism comes with the baggage of hope creating the possibility and permission for unthinking behavior.
Just about any cultural idea that creates permission to not think is going to bite back.

Setting goals for high-performance people is like pushing a horse instead of riding it.
Not setting goals for low-performance people is like riding a couch instead of pushing it.

If you run a team and you’re committed to becoming a better team in 2023, let’s talk!
We are the best in the world at accelerating teams toward their peak performance state.
Partially because the majority of businesses that try are absolute placebos.
A decision = gut + heart + mind
Gut: intuition from the past
Heart: vision of the future
Mind: practicality of the present

Status quo exists because the forces in favor of the current scenario is greater than opposing forces.
There in lie the biggest challenge for a change maker
i.e. how to tilt the balance of forces to disrupt the status quo

Technology changes quickly, people change slowly.
