Lean Startup pioneer Eric Ries argues so-called best practices destroy companies by eroding trust and innovation.

Traditional forecasting and controls clash with entrepreneurship's uncertainty, blocking innovation.

Implement three-phase change: exceptions for experiments, then directives, finally deep systems like budgeting.

Treat trustworthiness as a core asset; product leaders must protect it against short-term pressures.

"so-called best practices we've all been taught about how organizations should be built, managed, and governed are value destroying." - Eric Ries
