How I Work Atlassian's Dom Price on how he uses Imposter Syndrome to his advantage
My guest today is Dom Price. Dom is the Head of Research & Development and also the resident Work Futurist at Atlassian, one of the world’s biggest and fastest growing tech companies. Dom has responsibilities spanning 5 global R&D centres, and is the in house “Team Doctor” who helps Atlassian scale by being ruthlessly effective, all while keeping one eye on the future.
I’ve known Dom for a few years now and one of the things I like most about Dom is that he is so contrarian in his views and he is not afraid to share them. We cover a lot of different topics in this chat ranging from:
- Dom's four L strategy to help make decisions on which projects to take on and when to say no
- Dom’s rhythm for goal-setting and staying focused on what matters
- The three questions Dom uses to find great stories
- How Dom removes his own personal bias when trying to solve customer problems
- Dom’s “deep work” ritual around disconnecting from digital distractions.
- Why music helps Dom do better creative and focused work
- How Dom uses his mood to decide which task to focus on
- Dom’s method for building a great presentation
- The two questions Dom asks when he is booked to deliver a presentation
- Dom’s favourite question to ask in an interview
- Why Dom prefers negative feedback to positive feedback.
- What happened when Dom deleted every single meeting from his diary.
