Matt is joined by product and leadership consultant Randy Silver to unpack one of the most frustrating problems in product organizations: everyone knows where they want to go, but no one knows how to actually get there.

Together they explore what causes this breakdown in execution, how companies drift from product strategy to dysfunction, and what strong leadership really looks like at scale.

Key Discussion Points

Why strategy is easy—execution is the problem

Why in-shitification happens

The three organizational dysfunctions Randy sees most

Why autonomy without alignment fails

The real root of dysfunction: unclear product strategy

What leaders can do right now to fix the mess
