Eric Ries on Product Mastery Now: 'you're telling me there's people in this world who make forecasts of things and then the forecast comes true?'

Product Mastery Now host Chad McAllister releases a 48-minute interview with Eric on why traditional management tools (variation-reducing) collide with entrepreneurship (variation-increasing) — and why Incorruptible's blueprint matters for product leaders.

“There's a fundamental misalignment between the basic tools of management that most companies embrace and entrepreneurship. A lot of our management tools are variation reducing — which is good in a factory, very important. But entrepreneurship is variability increasing — positive variability, what Paul Graham calls black swan farming. People who are traditional managers find that hard to believe.” — Eric Ries on Product Mastery Now (YouTube)
