Julian Shapiro: "They're forcing functions for me to hold myself accountable and to be thorough when learning something for my own benefit. That's all they are. Basically if I want to go learn growth or writing well or some other topic, I will go ahead and do a ton of research, read everything I can get my hands on, do a ton of experimentation to try to build a set of novel insights that you couldn't find from other people's research hopefully, and then the next stage is try to make it as concise and actionable as possible so that I can reference it for my own selfish benefit."
Use writing as a selfish tool for your own learning to ensure the resulting work is thorough and high quality.
Kevin Yien: "writing is clarity at scale, and a key component to a PM's job is creating clarity both i"
Effective writing is a primary tool for maintaining clarity and alignment across an entire organization simultaneously.
From "The Minto Pyramid Principle and the SCR Framework": "If you simplify this further, there are three parts to every narrative: Situation, Complication, Resolution. 1. Situation: What is the state of affairs today. Facts, data, and unambiguous background. 2. Complication: What has changed that requires action. What is the problem? 3. Resolution: What we need to do to resolve this complication."
Structure business communications around a Situation, Complication, and Resolution to provide necessary context before proposing solutions.
From "Essential reading for product builders—part 2": "The best executive communication starts with the state of affairs. It’s fact-based, unambiguous. It’s totally not controversial. No matter what side of an issue or a hard choice you’re on, you should be able to read the situation and go, ‘That pretty much sums it up.’"
Achieve executive level clarity by starting with a non-controversial set of facts that everyone can agree on before introducing complications.
