Great real life example of Values > Scenarios > Actions > Outcomes - a good read.

Whilst I can see how some generically fit, I can see how one or two can be dangerous in certain types of sectors and / or companies.

So really important that the Values and Actions are a good fit for that sector and / or company.

I have certainly experienced #9! I feel like there's a clear "what to do about it" for someone in a leadership position, but as someone who's early in her product career, what can I do to "deal" with a product leader (and leadership team) who is rewarding output over impact?

My instinct tells me - leave the team / company - but that feels over-reactive if this problem is common enough to make it to your newsletter 😅
