Teams that do regular debriefs (meetings focused only on learning from past team performance) improve team performance by up to 25%, but they are often infrequent, conducted only after things go wrong or big projects end.

One of the most common mistakes even experienced managers make is assigning tasks, rather than assigning accountabilities with tasks included. I’ve made this mistake many times. Thread >>

The Sierra Nevada is going to get absolutely buried.
Red Peak in @YosemiteNPS is forecast to see 153" of snow in the next 5 days, and 23.25 feet in the next 10 days.

Start-up life = hard won insights. Here are my top 10 for this year.
1. Doing well at a start-up is not simply about skill, it is about mentality.
A start-up mentality values action over correctness, results over process. It suits those that value autonomy over clarity.

California has had a best-case-scenario fall season.
Not only did we escape having a severe fire season, but we've had a huge start to the wet season, with the state snowpack over 200% of normal.

👇My framework for what makes a great product manager. I think this works for about 70% of companies but may look a bit different depending on your industry, business model and size. Is there anything you would add or remove?

Have seen great things get built with and without the intensity you're describing (and I agree it can feel incredible).
The challenge is separating the cases where it happens for the sake of *looking like* something great is happening. Greatness and cargo cults look so similar.
