Quotes

“I have this picture I use on a lot of slide decks when I talk about my team, which is just a bunch of geese flying in alignment and then a bunch of geese running into each other. And that's fundamentally it, because there's no one right answer. I believe, and I'm not the first person to say that, that I think it's around the alignment of leadership. And the communication across those teams and making sure they're all working to the one communal goal.” - Noah Marks
