Coaching Lean Meta-skills (CLM): A new email course by Ash Maurya

The Innovator's Bias (love for solution) is immune to lecture. Getting early-stage teams to focus on problems before solutions is the key mindset shift for breakthrough innovation. The challenge to adoption isn't a lack of knowledge or motivation, but getting founders to overcome old habits of working and install new ones. This requires a different approach.

Coaching for behavior change. Anyone can give advice. Coaching for transformation is much harder. I have spent the last decade studying founder anxieties and biases and developed a set of coaching meta-skills built on behavior design principles.

This course will teach you my 10 Coaching Lean Meta-skills, like first-principles in science, that serve as the building blocks for driving breakthrough innovation with early-stage product teams.

How is this course different from Running Lean?

CLM builds upon the ideas in Running Lean. The expectation is that most people who take this course will have read (or are reading) the book.

That said, you don’t need the book to successfully complete the course.

Running Lean is often described as the most actionable step-by-step how-to book for building and launching a new product.

CLM was designed for consultants, mentors, and educators charged with leading teams to implement the ideas in Running Lean. While the core principles in the book are easy to understand, putting them into practice is hard.
