Balancing strategy and execution is crucial in product leadership to avoid wasting resources, morale, and opportunities.
Focusing too much on strategy without execution can result in disconnected plans from customer needs and lack of team confidence.
On the other hand, prioritizing execution without a clear strategy can lead to fast-paced actions that do not align with long-term goals and diminish team morale.
Great product leadership entails ruthless prioritization, relentless delivery, and aligning long-term vision with near-term actions to ensure meaningful progress.
