We sent a daily lock-in notification to supervisors, alerting them that the report would be sent automatically at 6 PM. And when owners got the report, we prompted them to show appreciation with a simple click. More reports, more love from owners, and a whopping 1.5x increase

Supervisors have 3 key motivations to use @Powerplay_app. Putting in data to generate automatic reports (because owners want it). Keeping record to avoid conflict (very imp.) Getting recognition for detailed entries. But here’s the rub: Supervisors lack the drive for detailed

We have all been in meetings where everyone's scrambling to impress. Or, even worse, to defend. That’s not what meetings are for. Meetings are for making sense of insights, for brainstorming, for tapping our collective intelligence. #productivity #startup

At @Powerplay_app, we DO NOT “prepare” for #meetings. No colorful slides, no tedious documents. People just share relevant data and insights on the fly! Why? Because if you're on top of your game, you don't need prep! 💼 #productivity #startup

As Edison famously said, “I didn’t fail 10,000 times — I found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Life as a PM can be tough … hypothesis after hypothesis can bomb. But if you ditch the quick gratification of tactical wins and embrace failures — you will be unstoppable. #startups

It’s to bring certainty … and you’ve been crushing it! In your last project, you brought us a conclusion: X doesn’t work. Now we won’t waste time on it. Every elimination is a win, a lesson learned, a step closer. #product #productmanagement ⅔

One of my best PMs said: “You keep giving me insanely tough projects … I haven’t delivered in a while.” “It’s like I am destined to fail.” I told her: You are talented. That’s why you are tackling highly ambiguous projects. Your goal is not to move a business goal; it’s to …

I want people in my #startup to fail. I want them to make mistakes. I want them to have “scar tissue.” Unless you are wounded, unless you fall and get back up and unless you dissect what went wrong… you don’t learn. That’s what “experience” is: you’ve seen what works, what

If "I only do XYZ" is your motto, maybe a big company is a better fit. At a startup, you REALLY can't afford to be a one-trick pony. You need a generalist mindset to thrive. And Anshul - well, he now heads sales and key account mgmt at Powerplay. But you'll still find him

Turns out, he was willing to give any role a shot — if the company needed it. I’ve come to realize that those who truly care about the users and the company don't want to be specialists at a #startup. They take on challenges no one else would. They solve problems across teams,

"Iesh, if the team or the customer needs me to do accounting, I will do accounting," said @anshulgupta_bot, one of the earliest members of our team. Anshul's an architect by training. Let's just say his accounting knowledge was as deep as mine in marine biology. 🙂 Why would he

Tightly held goal, loosely held process — the mantra to startup success. Do the opposite and you will drive your startup to the ground. #startups #entrepreneurship
