🤔 Thought Leadership ~ a small tale
Starting today’s edition with this intuitive tweet by Shreyas Doshi.
Expertise, insight, and a valuable perspective in a particular field, topic and area lead to thought leadership status.
Thought leadership without competence is always dangerous because the team or the organization that is respecting the credibility of the leader would end up wasting their energy and time by blindly following their ideas.
🤯 Let’s explore together
We hope we’ve been successful in spreading some useful information about blockchain and Web3 last week which may have helped. For this week, we have decided to remove the curtains and unravel the mysteries and power of artificial intelligence.

Time-to-Utility and Jobs to be Done
In this article, Tanay Japuria talks about two major frameworks of Jobs to be done (JTBD) and Time-to-value (TTV) that play a major role in fulfilling the needs of the customer.
💫 A recent discovery we found fascinating
For this week, we got stuck on a Twitter thread by Matts Schnuck.
He simplifies the four horsemen theory that can hamper a partnership, a team or a culture. He also shares his insights about the antidotes which can help us to get rid of these behaviors and produce results effectively.
🤔 What our learners have to say
Data is a very powerful and essential tool in the quiver of a Product Manager to understand and learn the user behavior, engagement patterns, and pain points of the users using the measure of metrics. Being human, product managers are not exceptions to errors and biases such as unconscious bias.
Unconscious bias is the predisposition to amplify data evidence that confirms a proposed hypothesis while ignoring data that refutes it.
One interesting example of unconscious bias is when YouTube initially launched its video upload app for iOS, between 5% and 10% of videos uploaded by users were upside-down. The team thought it was a technical glitch but turns out, it was designed for right-handed users by an exclusively right-handed developer team. But phones are usually rotated 180 degrees when held in the left hand which leads to this unconscious bias. To get rid of it, PMs have to implement a falsifiable approach where the focus to disprove or explore the flaws in their hypothesis should be more than just collecting data in favor.
✨ Signing off with some wisdom
In 2001, Shery Sandberg was having a conversation with Eric Schmidt, then CEO of Google. She was contemplating about a role there which she was offered. She wasn’t sure if she should take the job.
That’s when Schmidt told her the following:
“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.”
When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves.
That’s it all from us for this week. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we get curating this for you.
Catch you up next week!
Till then - Cheerio!
