I would not want to imagine a company with more than one of me. That would be – annoying. I was reminded yesterday of the many different differences between us all. And it is these very differences that make it all work. Could you imagine a world full of extroverts? No introverts to balance us out – that would be insane.Â
There is more at play here than a simple tolerance of differences. I am referring to more of a celebration of differences; an understanding that these differences are the “secret sauce” that should be embraced and celebrated. I would even go so far as to suggest the appropriate affection of these differences could make or break a project or even a company.Â
The next time you are faced with a guy that simply does not possess your appreciation for logic or the next time you are around a finance guy who does not share your passion – thank your lucky stars and trust the fact that these differences are the oil in the engine.
