People, Process and Product: A Product Leader’s First 90 Days | Notion CPO Madhu Muthukumar

Leadership and Team Building 🚀 The new product leader focused on changing the culture and building large, impactful products to drive the company's growth. 📝 Creating and sharing a 90-day plan can help set clear expectations and demonstrate commitment to action. 🌍 "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - A reminder to focus on long-term success and collaboration as a leader. 🥚 Giving away control and letting others build the organization in uncomfortable places can lead to growth and development. 🌱 It's important for a product leader to focus on influence rather than defaulting back to authority in order to build a strong team. 💬 Building relationships between product and engineering teams is about sharing accountability and outcomes, rather than drawing strict lines and swim lanes. 🎉 Celebrate and acknowledge good work to encourage more of it, even if it feels unnatural at first. Product Strategy and Execution 🔄 The concept of "product" varies at every company, making it crucial for product leaders to understand and adapt to different mental models of what product is. 🖥️ As a product leader, it's important to ask yourself "What would Jobs do?" and make quality products that you would recommend to your family and friends. 🌟 Making quality a core identity of the company is the key to getting good results as a product leader.
