If you treat your employees like adults, you can demand that they behave like adults too. That means no babying, no lying, no pampering. The result will be grown up partners focused on a joint mission to enjoy wild success together. This is actually the easiest way to be a CEO.

1-1s, performance reviews, exec meetings, internal comms, HR, comp policies, titles, Sales, Marketing, and on and on and on. Question it all. The greatest companies reject the shitty status quo and have so much more success and fun along the way.

After two decades of trying all the grown up company shit they say you have to do I am of the firm belief that 100% of it is absolute fucking bullshit. It was all designed for shit companies with shit cultures and shit leaders. Reject it. Go your own way. And thank me later :)

Many folks are going to realize that their government job isn’t a fit because of return to work or the regime change. Regardless of political slant, figuring out what to do next is hard. @bmoesta just built a framework and wrote a book to help people through it! Bob and @elonmusk…

This is exciting for anyone following and applying #jtbd. Just yesterday I found myself drawing the Forces of Progress during a 1-on-1 to explain how they can be used to understand someone's progress and make an internal sale. It's great to see @bmoesta continue to push the…

It's exciting to see smart people working on this. People polled will say they don't trust it, but they'll still consume it (dopamine/validation/emotion-seeking). Someone will innovate and figure out how to compete with something that helps people make more productive progress.

Decks are worse than documents. Far worse. It's why we don't create decks for internal or external communication at 37signals. Not one. No Powerpoint, Keynote, Slides, whatever. There's no presenting, only communicating. If we want to communicate an idea, a direction, a…

A new Jobs-to-be-Done interview is live! This was a tough one. A combination of mistakes that I made with the screener, plus a somewhat challenging conversation makes for an interview worth unpacking and discussing! This one is for paid subscribers only - thanks for the support!…

Christopher Alexander wrote a lot about “unfolding.” Unfolding is the process of learning what something should be by working on it.

A new Jobs-to-be-Done interview is live! This week Romeo tells us how he came to buy his first electric bike. One interview leads to at least two product opportunities, and it's a great reminder of why we invest in doing these #jtbd interviews. chrisspiek.substack.com/p/romeos-elect…

I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers. Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness. First, do no harm.

It was great to be able to see @rjs and @pragdave both present at ETE this week. If your product and engineering team is stuck and not shipping, you have everything you need to get it unstuck by studying the work of both of these guys. Pick an approach that resonates. Start…

This has been a blast so far. The collection has grown to seven full-length video Jobs-to-be-Done interviews. If you’re working on getting better at applying the #jtbd framework I hope this helps you! chrisspiek.substack.com

If you're trying to make product decisions based on casualty, you need to know how to tell a good JTBD interview from a bad one. In this week's interview we explore how to identify and avoid bad interviews, and how to handle it when things go wrong. chrisspiek.substack.com/p/managing-bad…
