Many lessons (partially) learned

I've had a crazy run during the last 18 months - from CEO of a venture-backed startup just beginning the sales process, to completely unempowered GM of a group after the company got acquired, to CEO of another venture backed company in a completely different field, with a two month stint as an interim turnaround executive at the company that acquired mine thrown in for good measure. The jumble of experiences has shaped (warped) my perspective a bit, and writing down my thoughts as my perspective changes helps me reflect and learn. I'm sure that after the next group of intense experiences, many of my "lessons" will morph again, but for now, this is where I stand. As I reflect on various topics, I'll add hyperlinks to the posts below.

I'll start with Product Management (Audi introduces the PRUGO5!)
