The problem I see with the Lean Startup is that Eric Ries isn’t actively promoting, defending and explaining it.
On Mixergy, I interview founders who try to make their bones or get attention for their messages by disagreeing with the Lean approach.
Eric doesn’t debate, correct or engage with them. So they get to make statements without anyone credible taking them on.
Listen to my latest interview it’s Rand Fishkin and you’ll see what I mean. He’s not anti-Lean, but he’s disagreeing with it his book to make get attention for his message. With a bit of pushback from me, he admits as much.
Each one of these mini-attacks from accomplished entrepreneurs hurts Lean’s credibility.
Only Eric has the credibility and social grace to disagree and explain in a way that builds up The Lean Startup.
I’d love to see him step into the conversation more. He and pg defined how to run a successful startup more than any two people I know.
We need to hear more from both of them.
