QUOTES

The importance of cross-functionality in an organization - Nick: "Having an engineer at the negotiating table when the finance person is talking is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen inside of organizations I've been in. The person who knows everything about the technology shaking their head at what the other side is trying to trade for is really important."

Fostering an environment of open communication - Jason: "I also think the best way to do it is empowering employees. Making the feel comfortable. This is all about communication, right? What better way to do that than to get them involved in those meetings and feel comfortable being critical of things like that."
