When I build a chair, I almost always make the same mistake.
But then I never build another one, and Im stuck with the first version of my chair.
The first time you assemble an Ikea closet, it all fits snugly.
Now imagine needing an operation, and the hospital gives you a choice between two surgeons.
One is young, and the older is old.
Which one do you pick?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
I cant seem to figure this out.
I like working with people with experience, but theres a lot to be said for youthful exuberance.
Some things get better when you do them a lot.
And every time Im building a chair, I should treat it as a one-off project from the start.
But the cold, harsh reality is that you rarely get to pick your surgeon.
When working with teams in companies, this is yet another argument for diversity.
Find people from different backgrounds and skillsets so one persons experience can be combined with another persons exuberance.
