Listen to the audio version of this article: [link] 1 No Strategy The first and most crucial mistake is to have no product strategy at all.

When plotting out our product’s trajectory, there’s a constant tension between two competing mindsets. On the one hand, there’s the “go-big-or-go-home” moonshot approach. Where charismatic leaders rally the troops around an ambitious vision with a massive potential payoff. These high-risk gambits get praised when they succeed and pilloried when they fail.

“Just as safety is crucial in improving results in industries such as manufacturing and oil drilling, psychological safety is crucial for improving results in knowledge and creative work, which is what people like us do.
