Three hallmarks of a “high functioning group” are, first, that its members have strong a commitment to the group; second, that they have unique and diverse skillsets; third, that they “live life” together. All these are central to our core mission to “build very cool stuff” while respecting each other in the process. Our differences are our core strengths, because they allow us to tackle complex problems from several angles. We recognized that truth in 1999 and leveraged it to make us stronger instead of letting our differences sunder us.
