Driving Organisational Alignment with Survival Metrics (with Adam Thomas, founder @ Approaching One)

Driving Organisational Alignment with Survival Metrics (with Adam Thomas, founder @ Approaching One)

An interview with Adam Thomas. Adam is a passionate product leader & product coach who wants to help you drive organisational alignment. By day he's Lead Product Manager for a recruiting platform, and by night he's the hero that Gotham needs with product consultancy Approaching One.

We speak about a lot, including:

  • His work with Approaching One and how he's trying to help product managers & product leaders get better
  • How he started out as a mainframe programmer, and ended up falling into product management when a mentor realised how unhappy he was
  • The story of his two startups, whether they succeeded or failed, and some of the lessons he learned from the experience
  • His journey from individual contributor to leadership, the resources he used and how he mixed mentorship with repeated mistakes to get good
  • The importance of driving organisational alignment, the types of negative & positive feedback you can get due to misalignment
  • Why alignment is the product manager's job, how you should never assume anything, and have to do the work
  • Some of the warning signs of misalignment, techniques you can use to get back on track and why you should trust but verify
  • The importance of having a compelling story around your product that you can align your team around
  • Survival Metrics - what they are & how you can use them to decide whether to pivot, double down or give up on an initiative

And much more!
