File this under "Failing Fast". Golf is said to be "a game of misses." In product management, we fail more than we succeed—it's just the nature of learning. And we want to learn fast and cheap. In golf, everything is hyper-accelerated. We are best served doing retrospectives in seconds or minutes, instead of hours or days or weeks. Decide what we've learned, what to practice in the future for similar situations, assess our current situation, and then crack on fresh. Leave the emotion and ego behind. It is easier to say than do in either the golf or product management context. Thus, the "always better, never best" mindset. The "fairway bunker" miss is often dreaded in golf. For soooo many reasons, most of which relate to "lost opportunity". I almost look forward to them. Almost. 😅 It doesn't always work out... and yet leaning into it as an opportunity versus a curse is no doubt an optimal mindset. Just like hashtag #fails in product development! 😎 https://lnkd.in/eAW7AVqY
