#archetypes

In classical astrology, those born between two signs are typically described as being 50% one sign and 50% the other. It's an appealing idea, but an imprecise one after all. What exactly constitutes that fifty per cent? Through years of observation, comparison, and the collection of real data on individuals born on cusps, I was surprised to discover that these people are not simply "hybrids," but distinct and recognisable personalities, genuine archetypes in their own right.

Just recently SVPG Partner Christian Idiodi hosted Shreyas Doshi on his Product Therapy podcast, where they discussed the role of product leadership. If you haven't yet listened to this interview, I would strongly encourage it, as I loved hearing Shreyas' thoughts on this critically important topic. Shreyas described three different archetypes of product leaders: the craftsperson ("it's all about the product"), the operator ("it's about scale"), and the visionary ("it's about the future"). I hope you listen to the full interview as Shreyas shared valuable context and nuance that I consider essential for this foundational topic.
