@jseiden totally - both have overlapping skills but different perspectives that make a team better; why arguing over who owns what isn’t just a waste of time, it’s destructive to team effectiveness

a moment of gratitude for @lissijean for bringing together such a well-rounded set of guests week after week that we all get to learn from. @giffco interview is excellent and focuses on such an important area in product leadership and an area I continue to try and improve myself.

@shreyas this is a rife, huge-drag problem when a traditional company is in transition from project managers to product mgrs.

PMs usually welcome more cross-functional support, but nothing is as frustrating as an over-staffed function that creates busy-work & optics-work for you & your team because the people on that x-fn team “need something to do” and their manager needs to justify current headcount.

I'm not seeing a form factor that makes today's VR sig better than second life era. Oculus is fun but ain't it.

If you know anyone that's a beast of a PM in the enterprise-focused B2B SaaS space that could use a super exciting new challenge, send them my way. DMs open.

@giffco Have discussed this with some academic friends. It’s a high bar to fire a noted prof even if he’s on annual contract. Eg. The bad publicity NYU is getting There’s something else not being revealed IMHO. But at 84, maybe there’s other pursuits he can follow?
