Why I Love Being Wrong

I Am Often Wrong

A product leader shares his six-step problem-solving loop — understand, gather, define, plan, set a goal, act — and explains why iterating through it can feel thrashy but is healthy. The most common failures, he says, are skipping a clear problem definition or a simple approach, which leads to complex plans and fuzzy success criteria. He welcomes feedback and being wrong, because it sharpens the problem and speeds up learning.
