About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of team composition in leadership and the impact of homogeneous versus heterogeneous teams on decision making.

Most leaders never consciously decide what kind of team they’re building — they hire for comfort, add people as needed, and end up with a composition that’s either working for them or costing them. Homogeneous teams move fast and feel easy, but shared blind spots and unchallenged decisions can quietly undermine results. Heterogeneous teams are harder to lead — and when led well, they make better decisions.
