“It’s human nature to be biased. It’s human nature to fall in love with those ideas … for me, the thing that will make us more successful as a company … is when we get a lot of great ideas but can quickly synthesize them and figure out the ones that are most important and impactful.

But it’s a long way from moving something through a larger company that has established norms, and so many stakeholders.
