• You don't complain about unclear strategy. You draft one and pressure test it.
• You don't wait for permission. You state your intent and move.
• When things go wrong, you ask: what part did I play in this?

This is about being the person who makes things happen regardless of conditions.

By consistently demonstrating that you own the 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲. (Not the process / backlog / discovery ...)

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:

• The outcome is yours. Even when the problem isn't.
• You don't blame stakeholders for bad briefs. You fix the brief.

3/6

Stop waiting to be empowered.
Start taking ownership.

I hear this constantly:
• "We're not empowered."
• "Leadership won't let us make decisions."
• "The org isn't set up for us to succeed"

And from CEOs, the mirror image:
• "They don't take ownership"

1/6

• Define what “good” looks like for your product team
• Use hiring and development to improve performance
• Benchmark your team and identify opportunities for growth
• Plan support and training to effectively upskill your team

Blog • Murphy Trueman Writing about design systems as infrastructure, AI tooling, and component architecture. Practical and opinionated, for designers and engineers who build at scale.

Last week I asked @murphytrueman.com if she’d be open to consider moving her design systems articles off substack.
Not only was she open to it, but she already relaunched her blog on ghost!

Thank you for being open to feedback and actually caring!

Go read her excellent articles!

Most teams either test everything (and slow to a crawl) or test nothing (and guess).

Clippy says: Look's like you're trying to start a global thermonuclear war. Would you like me to decide when to launch?

My absolute must-listen!

And she did Austin Powers

This is amazing.

Most product development fails because teams spend months building features nobody want.

5 pillars I rely on to de-risk product decisions:

𝟭 - 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

• Building products is expensive
• PMs exist to maximise return on that investment
• Not every feature needs the same validation

Autonomy without alignment isn’t trust.

It’s leadership abdicating responsibility

"Product-led" works when product is strategic, not isolated.

9/9

For most companies, going "product-led" is a complete disaster, and they soon revert to a feature factory.

It's a predictable pattern:
• Product teams cheer.
• Leadership steps back.
• Accountability quietly disappears.
• Then… it all blows up.

Seconded. Oftentimes when I sit down to write after researching and interviewing, I don’t know what exactly I am going to write. The process of writing of discovery. It’s learning which parts go together and which don’t. It’s finding the underlying narrative. Relegating it to a machine won’t do that
