Amidst the laundry list of existing threats to your business, lazy marketing rarely comes to mind as a top concern. Things like competition, market demand, security, and team dynamics often get the most attention. But just because they rarely enter the conversation, marketers should not feel immune from being a potential hindrance to business growth.

Most people call them “exceptions.” We call them “Last Thursdays.” I’ve mentioned this term in a couple of my previous blog posts, and I think it’s important to touch on it one more time, to better explain what it means, and to discuss how changing the name has helped us communicate more effectively with our clients.

Guest Post by: Madhavi Marka (Mentee, Session 7, The Product Mentor) [Paired with Mentor, Nis Frome]. There is no such thing as placing too much importance on your customers. Customers are the oxygen for any business model. One of the primary goals of any business strategy is to identify and meet needs of the customer. Customers differ widely from each other in various aspects.

Above: One of my favorite moments in 2018, with the a16z team and POTUS44. . Dear readers, Wow, so 2018 was a year with a lot of change – I started a new job, recommitted myself to writing (and tweeting), traveled a little too much, moved back down to Palo Alto (temporarily!), and much more. And in one of my favorite moments of the year, the office got swarmed by the Secret Service because Barack Obama came to visit – that was fun.

Why I don’t write long specifications. From Waterfall to Agile In the dark ages we all worked in waterfall. We planned everything months ahead of time. We had to write very detailed requirements in advance, review them and plan accordingly. It resulted in slow reaction to changes and many obsolete requirements. With the move to agile and the preference of working software over comprehensive documentation (see the agile manifesto ) there is less demand for such long specifications.

Vision casting is easy. It is like finding a target board and rallying people around the common objective. At times it can be so easy that once the rally is over, the vision gets drowned by the hustle and bustle of daily chores. Whether large corporations or start-ups, I have encountered vision statements die by natural death or simply gather dust on shelves.

“Customer Success Management is hitting the mainstream.”. That’s what Forrester analyst TJ Keitt said in his September 2018 report, How to Build a Customer Success Program , and I couldn’t agree more. He goes on to validate it by citing the 44,000 Customer Success Manager (CSM) roles posted on LinkedIn (a 560% increase year-over-year in the number of postings !

Some of the most impressive innovations are driven by fears of existential threats. Desperation creates pressure and opportunity, and can serve as a breeding grounds for out-of-the-box thinking and experimentation. Think: Apple’s iMac, T-Mobile’s un-contract, or Blackberry’s latest shift to software. Whether or not your organization faces such a crisis, product leaders and innovators benefit from embracing a similar mindset and sense of urgency.

I’m going to tell a story that will ultimately show how misguided many supposed “good ideas” are, especially in relation to business cases, strategy, and planning. One site that I hang out on is Slashdot , an old school hang out that bills itself as “News for Nerds.” On /. (see what I did there?) there seems to always be a thread on the front page about Apple and their business practices.

I spend much of my time coaching product leaders : folks who manage teams of product managers and developer+designer+product teams. I also step into companies as an interim VP Product Management. So I have strongly held personal opinions about what’s on the minds of other product leaders. But (like all of us) I’m at risk for recency bias and juicy anecdotes.
