From Burn-Out to $100M in ARR with Jason Cohen of WP Engine (Video + Transcript)

By Jason M. Lemkin on January 8, 2019

Metrics are important, but so is making the tough, gut-wrenching decision to part ways with a key employee. Product strategy is important, but a fixation on the competition is counter-productive.

Your Top 5% Employees … And Bottom 5%

By Jason M. Lemkin on January 7, 2019

In my relatively brief tenure as a VP at a Fortune 500 tech company, I struggled a bit dealing with the processes, systems and bureaucracy.   But in the time since, I’ve mellowed a bit and realized a lot of the processes actually made a lot of sense, especially when you have 15,000+ employees.  You have […]

My wife & I have a close friend who recently entered the workforce for his first-ever job. On his first day of work my wife was kind enough to write down words of wisdom from her years on the job. I don’t write about Tania very often – mostly at her request. Otherwise I’d shout […]
