Takeaways from this episode:• Have a safe environment where you can disagree.• Put your ideas out there and don’t be so emotionally attached to your ideathat you can’t recognize someone else has a better idea.• A lot of times we gloss over things because we are to busy patting ourselveson the back for what a good job we did.• Ask your self “ how can we make it better”.• Constantly evaluate what you are doing.• Evaluation is hard because it forces collaboration.
