Spend a month arguing about the metrics that you’ll use to evaluate success at the end of next year.

In 11 months, spend two weeks arguing about how to change the metrics that didn’t work out last year, and two more weeks coming up with new metrics that you’ll be changing the following year.

Are you struggling to get your ideas implemented? Do your colleagues say they are "dumb as gently caress", "completely lacks understanding of the problem space", or "an enormous waste of time"? Try running some user focus group sessions, then using the results (Important! You should be the one writing them up) to bludgeon the rest of the company into submission. Accuse them of not being data driven if they push back.
