(Wartime | Peacetime) product teams

Ben Horowitz's blogs are always a great source of insight and wisdom. One of the masterpiece blog that Ben authored recently was on Peacetime CEO/Wartime CEO, an example of how CEOs need to manage companies during peaceful times and war times. These management lessons are applicable not only for CEOs but also product leaders. Ben's points out that people are by nature peacetime leaders or wartime generals. I tend to relate more to the latter considering my product leadership experience at Nimbula and IPInfusion, both companies I had to lead in challenging times (or as some would say "interesting times"). Going through this experience has not been easy but to make products successful you need to have some wartime experience under your belt. I can only understand and rationalize the lessons about managing in peaceful times but cannot relate to them (yet). Good leadership is about understanding what comes to you naturally and when you have to adopt.

Some excerpts from Ben's blog:

Peacetime CEO knows that proper protocol leads to winning. Wartime CEO violates protocol in order to win.

Peacetime CEO spends time defining the culture. Wartime CEO lets the war define the culture.

Peacetime CEO always has a contingency plan. Wartime CEO knows that sometimes you gotta roll a hard six.

Peacetime CEO works to minimize conflict. Wartime CEO heightens the contradictions.

Peacetime CEO thinks of the competition as other ships in a big ocean that may never engage. Wartime CEO thinks the competition is sneaking into her house and trying to kidnap her children.

Peacetime CEO trains her employees to ensure satisfaction and career development. Wartime CEO trains her employees so they don’t get their ass shot off in the battle.

[Personal favorite] Peacetime CEO sets big, hairy audacious goals. Wartime CEO is too busy fighting the enemy to read management books written by consultants who have never managed a fruit stand.

When the work you have done for a long time does not matter anymore, this is a great perspective from Steve Jobs to mull over. You are building layers not monuments!
