The Landmark Advanced Course

Upon my boss's advice, I attended the Landmark advanced course once again. 

Felt good. Felt sorted. Essentially, a reminder of all the rackets and scheming we all do with ourselves. Met a bunch of young people who were really messed up but, kind of, got sorted. 

The one thing that it reminded me was "being your own word". 

I am not sure how it will translate into every day work but here is what I have thought about:

  1. Start a weekly heart-to-heart one-on-one with a young trusted partnership leader and imagine how this meeting should go, if ten years later, this meeting would be written about as the one that turned the company around. 

  2. Create an internal team of people who really like innovating and wouldn't shy away from drastic innovation attempts 

  3. Use your team. Delegate. Delegate. Delegate. And oversee big time. 

  4. Organise the product org.
    1. Focus on a nine-month timeline 
      1. last quarter -measure the impact of the work
      2. current quarter - unblock the engineering --> repeat
      3. next 3 months - research for features you want in the next 3 months
    2. Create a PRD pipeline that is about 25 long at any time
    3. Create a research pipeline that is about 25 long at any time
    4. Publish the product bluebook so that everyone understands what the expectation is

  5. Revisit these attempts with your boss and improve.
