Have you made up your mind?
Are you open to a push on this?
And you just find that rhythm kind of working with folks.
Generally speaking,
There's a reason that founder-led companies do so well in our industry.
The insight required and the kind of customer intuition to make the thing in the first place and work tends to be really important.
And then I just view my job as making sure that we've got coverage on the places where our founders are.
Top-down works well if leadership is good enough to be in the weeds and be specifically correct.
I think where it falls apart is where you don't actually know
ground truth, and then you attempt to manage people from above.
And that's where I think the term micromanagement comes from.
Otherwise, if you're working from the same data and you have it, I don't know a junior engineer or an entry-level designer who isn't stoked to sit there and work alongside the CPO or the CEO and ship something.
Because you're just unblocked.
There's no alignment meetings.
There's nothing to do.
They also find that you can give way better feedback if you're literally in the detail.
And I think the nuance is just like, how do you make sure you can do that in enough places?
There's never been a better time to attempt to be in the detail on things because you can literally query it in real time.
And we can do that because, as I said, we plan what we're doing.
And then we allocate.
