Q&A with Naveen Jain:

How do you best work with strategic partners who are much different, slower and/or bigger than you?

I’ve found that you want to match your culture with partners or acquisitions. When you both share the same mindset for quality and speed, it sets a consistent bar for the right shared metrics or scorecards. I do seek out thought leaders who are different because I could be left behind from an innovation standpoint if I surround myself with only those in my industry.
