Ever wondered why some companies thrive with innovation while others stagnate? The secret might just lie in the diversity of their leadership teams. Join us as we unravel the underestimated power of varied perspectives in the boardroom. By sidestepping the comfort zone of hiring clones of ourselves, we reveal how a blend of different backgrounds can ignite creativity and propel organizations forward.

We also discuss the balance of optimists and pessimists within a team, shedding light on how this dynamic can harness a full spectrum of insight, and even touch on offbeat strategies like artistic exercises to stimulate diverse thinking. 

In this episode, we discuss the following:
1. The importance of surrounding yourself with people who think differently from you.
2. Creating teams with diverse viewpoints and approaches to foster innovation and comprehensive problem-solving.
3. Approaching meetings and problem-solving with a mindset of curiosity rather than control.
