Hi–I’m Todd. I help managers and product teams maximize outcomes while respecting people.
More. Better. Faster. Cheaper. The tireless pursuit of ever-increasing product output just keeps going and going.
Not only does it persist, it seems to be amplifying in intensity. This monotonous, beating drum is driven louder by a heightened competitive environment. And the recent rise in artificial intelligence is speeding up the rhythm to a frenetic pace.
This beat is not an energizing rhythm. What I see in most cases is exhausted product teams, barely hanging on. Output has become the goal, the anti-purpose that doesn’t inspire. The resulting demanding pace produces unsustainable, empty, ineffective results.
Product professionals these days talk a lot about outcomes over output. But let’s be honest, many of us simply don’t walk the talk.
We need a jolt in a different direction:
Instead of doing more, we need to do something non-instinctual. We need to do less, better, while respecting people.
Want to join the pursuit of better?
