Adam Nash on Product Leaders

Dropbox VP, Product and Growth Adam Nash on great product leaders | Amplify 2019

• Metrics movers

• Request

• Delight - features that surprise people.

• Maintain three separate list else you'll end up with only metric movers. There's no single prioritised list.

• We're too rationally looking at user need not emotionally.

• Talk about emotion and add it into the process. Linkedin job hope example. Magic aha emtoionql moment.

• We keep crowding our product.

• Einsteins razor. Make things simple not simpler. Why did apple keep the home button?

• Obsess about non users. Asking what you can do to make it better.

• Product teams have the power to frame discussions with strategy and metrics.

• We tend to focus on data we have and not ask question's about data we don't have.

• Solve the product maze backwards. It is not a matter of should but it is a matter of when. How you frame a problem will lead the team.

• Designers can show people what could be.

• Engineers know what can and cannot be done.

• Products are never done. Your users deserve perfection. How you behave and value your teams abd how you frame your problems.

• Be in a constant growth mindset.
