Hey, I'm Petr

Things I Believe

• A clear vision inspires action and alignment more than org charts ever could.
  • It answers: Why we do what we do? What does success look like? How should we act to ensure success?
  • Core values guide decisions, especially when things get hard.
  • Vision must be communicated early, often, and in many forms.
• Have a North Star. Iterate fast.
  • Frequent feedback loops help validate what truly matters to users.
  • Small teams move faster
  • AI-native teams will outpace those unwilling to adapt.
• Great leaders are great operators
  • Learn the details deeply and earn trust through competence.
  • Make better decisions by seeing both the ground-level reality and the bigger picture.
  • Never operate behind dashboards. Go and get their hands dirty.
• Great teams are built for the long run through care, ownership, and shared wins.
  • Hire people you'd want to build with for the next 10 years — which means being deliberate in hiring and consistently investing in coaching.
  • Actively recognize and celebrate the successes of your teammates
  • It doesn’t matter how many goals you scored — if the team lost, you lost too. And if the team won, you share that win fully, no matter your role. What matters is giving 110% to your part of the game.
  • Ownership is expected and encouraged at every level
• Accepted goals amplify performance, rejected goals do the opposite.
  • Goals focus attention, energize people, and drive persistence.
  • They must be meaningful and well-communicated.
  • Poorly framed goals can demotivate, misalign, or limit creativity.
• Motivation is personal
  • Take time to understand what truly matters to each person.
  • Understand intrinsic and extrinsic motivators
  • Demotivators often hide in poor policies, bad management, or lack of clarity.
• The way you reward people teaches them what really matters.
  • Fairness and transparency are more powerful than size or frequency.
  • Use rewards to reinforce actions, not just results.
• Feedback, done well, transforms people and teams.
  • Be timely, specific, and focus on actions — not personalities.
  • Seek feedback from those who want you to succeed.
  • Follow up when improvement is visible — reinforce progress
  • Transparency builds trust and lets feedback flow both ways.
• Customer-led development
  • You need to say Yes to many things, but keep the product as simple as possible.
  • The only way to know customers is to talk to them.
  • It’s easy to find evidence for any idea if you measure the wrong thing. Dashboards alone aren’t enough.
• We build tools for our customers, and these tools must be reliable
  • Products earn trust through reliability.
  • You need to do boring things right.
