Next-level tactics for product managers
Teresa de Figueiredo | Product Manager at Coda
Career mentors are awesome, but not everyone has one. So it's nice when accomplished product leaders, like Coda's CPO Lane Shackleton and Shreyas Doshi, ex-Stripe, Twitter and Google, open up about their experiences. Pay special attention to their thoughts on what to do when managing a project turns into managing people's feelings.
Setting expectations before you communicate—whether in work or horror movies, see: "No matter what happens, never. split. up."— is always a smart idea.
Flashtags: Ever get that jolt of anxiety when a colleague sends a comment that you're not sure how to interpret? Is this a #recommendation or a #suggestion? Read how flashtags add tone to text to cut through ambiguity.
The art of the multi-threaded meeting: How do you run a meeting that covers several topics at the same time without descending into chaos? Our CEO, Shishir Mehrotra, has become an expert over the years.

Demystifying PM performance, calibrations, and feedback
Shreyas Doshi | ex-Stripe, Twitter, Google
Coda CPO Lane Shackleton and Shreyas Doshi are back, sharing strong opinions on why "objective" career ladders are just subjective ways to justify promotion decisions. And how focusing calibration meetings more on devising creative ways to set team members up for success, and less on ratings, can become a big leverage point for a company.
