Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career

ADVICE

Find the Right Environment

💬 "So it's a bit of a balance of push for the right things, but also watch out for yourself. And if the environment is not right, it's okay to change."

  • Be careful for yourself; do things in environments ready to welcome new ideas.
  • Tanguy worked in banks and highly regulated areas before Atlassian; pushing for change wouldn't have worked there.
  • Autonomous leaders are needed within orgs; do this in a safe environment.
  • Don't feel trapped. You only have one work life; work where you believe you can do amazing work.
  • Cynicism can come from situations where change isn't possible; this can lead to self-doubt.

Key takeaway: Push for change in the right places but prioritize your wellbeing and consider alternatives if the environment isn't conducive to growth.
