We are adding a coding section to all of our Product Managers interviews at @Shopify. We'll start with APM interviews. We expect candidates to build a prototype of the product they suggested in the case interview. There is no excuse for PMs not building prototypes.

The only perk A-players need is meaningful work: - Set a clear mission - Hire aligned talent - Know your people - Give them support - Respect autonomy - Reward generously - Develop constantly - Eliminate problems - Improve continuously The rest is corporate theatre.

It's all about the care. Someone needs to care to make something good. You cannot set goals or measure it. You need to hire people who care and give them the time and space to care. Love that more CEOs, including public company CEOs talk about this! @tobi

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke: It’s impossible to make great products if you don’t give a sh*t “Every product in the world, at the end of the day, is simply a reflection of how much the people who created it gave a sh*t… It is not possible to make great products if the people who work…
