What Tom Verrilli actually said

  1. Tom Verrilli Chief product officer at the live-shopping marketplace Whatnot
    Top-down works well if leadership is good enough to be in the weeds and be specifically correct. I think where it falls apart is where you don't actually know ground truth and then you attempt to manage people from above and that's where I think the term micromanagement comes from.
