<p>The HiPPO <span style="font-weight: 400;">— t</span>he &#8220;Highest Paid Person’s Opinion&#8221;. Over the years, we&#8217;ve published content about these creatures <span style="font-weight: 400;">— <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/how-to-train-your-hippo-by-ozlem-yuce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to train your HiPPO</a>, <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/mindset-product-intuition-prioritisation-and-process-with-tristan-kromer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to manage your HiPPO</a> — </span>and across the wider web, you&#8217;ll find endless posts coming at the topic from the same angle. It&#8217;s never particularly positive. For that reason, we&#8217;re winding back to 2017 and the words of James Gadsby Peet, the Director of Digital at William Joseph and a ProductTank London organiser.</p>

<p>In <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/remember-hippos-humans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Remember HiPPOs are humans too…</a> James encourages us to think about HiPPOs in a different way, reminding us that one day we might be the highest-paid person in the room. James&#8217; post suggests we think about the reasons why a HiPPO behaves the way they do and what we, and our wider team, can do to alleviate those all too common points of tension.</p>
