"If you surround yourself with intelligent, hard-working people, and are flexible with their job descriptions based on their strengths, good things will happen. Through outside testing and internal 360° surveys with my direct reports, I had a clear understanding of my own strengths and weaknesses, and I hired individuals specifically to make up for those weaknesses. This was difficult to do as these were professionals that had completely different thought processes than me. I knew it was necessary though in order to balance the team. This has created a culture where everyone feels safe to question each other, regardless of title or tenure.”
