Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe kick off this powerhouse three-part series with Matt LeMay, author of Impact First Product Teams. In this episode, we challenge the default mindset of "shipping features" and dig into how product teams can align closely with business-level outcomes. Matt lays down his number one tip for product leaders: set goals that are both high impact and high specificity. Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about prioritizing work.Detailed Analysis: Episode 37 sets the foundation for what it truly means to run a high-impact product team. Matt LeMay debunks the myth that asking leadership what they expect is the best starting point. Instead, he argues that teams must own the understanding of their value, crafting goals that tie directly to revenue, growth, or customer success metrics. The formula? Set ambitious, specific, and time-bound objectives. But here comes the twist: doing this invites the Eye of Sauron (yes, that Lord of the Rings reference was glorious). High visibility comes with accountability.Matt doesn't just stop at theory. He discusses how real teams can move from doing busy work to delivering business value by asking the right internal questions and being brave enough to commit to uncomfortable levels of accountability. Product leaders, take note: if your team is just shipping features, you may already be obsolete.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.
