Junior manager mistake: the goal of a leader isn't to make your team happy It's to make them feel like the company is winning, and that they're contributing to that. Happiness usually follows, but is not the goal in and of itself.

Most product managers are painfully mid. The only PMs who break out exhibit at least one of the following: - Design ability - Coding skills - Deep GTM execution skills - 99th percentile taste Otherwise, they’re destined for a career of filling out Google Docs

Competent people just want to do great work. Keeping incompetent people around isn't just neutral, it signals to the competent people that their distinguished effort isn't appreciated and will naturally drive them out
