Episode 11
You often hear leaders talk about the importance of hiring for 'cultural fit'. But is that always such a good idea?? What if the REAL strength in teams actually comes from DIFFERENCE? In which case, is there a better way to think of the different kinds of people you need in your team to achieve balance?
In this episode, I look at the importance of understanding different team archetypes, and how that can help you to build diversity in skills, perspectives and experiences.
