Mature Start-up Running Out of Gas? Ask Madeleine
- Some business leaders in a 'mature' startup are exhibiting attitudes of reluctance, believing that if the company was going to make it they would have by now.
- As the COO steps in for the founder and CEO, they are struggling with the pessimistic outlook among staff members.
- Leaders who have become weary may feel more motivated if they reconnect with their drivers: whether it be the promise of a big payout, purpose-driven work, or the desire to be part of something innovative.
- Advisors may recall previous motivation techniques like rearticulating the company's long-term vision on a more regular basis, as well as praising staff accomplishment.
- Encouragement can go a long way, and while leaders should be attentive to concerns, they should make direct requests instead of just critical feedback.
- If the COO is unable to achieve productive change through the staff they presently employ, they may need to contemplate employee replacement.
- Building a start-up from the ground up is a tough job which requires optimism and resilience, qualities unique to both founders and some executive managers.
- The COO needs to inspire her staff by listening, re-stating the vision and finding ways to positively motivate the team.
- It is not always enough to give constructive feedback; sometimes clear and direct requests need to be made instead if leaders are to create change that is enduring.
- Good leadership is never easy. It requires a rare combination of attributes and qualities that not everyone possesses.

PRODUCTHEAD: Wartime vs peacetime product leadership
- Airbnb’s changes to product management could be just what is needed in wartime or equally a retrograde step, while the discussion on Airbnb’s decision to morph its product management function into a product marketing manager role has thrown up an interesting debate.
- Typical symptoms are a shift in the balance of trade-offs such as focus on big bets over smaller incremental improvements and risk aversion over a healthy risk appetite.
- Wartime product leadership kicks in when there is a threat to the very survival of a company — or at least at the point the leadership team starts taking that threat seriously.
- Discussions about productivity are often a proxy discussion for some other dysfunction while remote working is a particularly polarising debate because it aligns with the leader-employee divide.
- Good crisis was the only opportunity to cut through the bureaucracy and make any kind of meaningful change.
- Culture clashes often emerge in times of shift from ‘peacetime’ to ‘wartime’ product leadership.
- Reports of product management's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
- At a macro level, one can see a battle for the narrative around good and bad habits in the industry currently.
- Successful games and products have a common attribute: they help the user become more skilled throughout their journey, which requires onboarding to be a continual process.
- Demonstrating good practices and delivering good products is the key to building better and successful products.
