If you hire people the same as you, you all agree and work happens really quickly. It's just so nice. You don't create anything innovative, cause you’re the same person. Sit me in a room with seven people that are different to solve a problem, it's going to take longer. But I'm really confident the idea we’ll land on will be infinitely better than eight of me in the room - Dominic Price
When you hire for values and allow people to change the culture, a new hire from a diverse background, create psychological safety, and an inclusive environment, you add what feels like a huge tax. We never talk about the investment. Now it delivers great value, but it's harder. - Dom Price
Every time you hire a really smart person, give them permission. Give them that trust to make changes. That comes with values like change, and nimbleness, but it can be exhausting. - Dom Price

Managing to better outcomes, isn't managing easier.
To Dom's point, it's harder.
Thanks again Dom
Time for a well-deserved break (et al)
