Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career

NOTE

Experts over people managers

Reducing the number of projects and management layers streamlines operations, mirroring a startup environment. This includes consolidating roles into core functions, which enables a leaner organizational model with fewer but more senior employees. Limiting headcount enhances efficiency, as adding more personnel can often hinder project progress. Prioritizing expertise in leadership roles ensures that executives are not only managers but active contributors to their fields. This promotes a culture where leaders, such as engineering and design heads, focus on the quality of their work while supporting team development. Decision-making should be centralized to foster a shared understanding and cohesive direction across the organization.
