Gurley recommends executives develop five peers in similar companies for quarterly knowledge sharing.
“I've often gone to my founders or CEOs and I say, you should tell every one of your direct reports to develop five peers in nearby companies, not direct competitors, things that look similar, and have them meet with them four times a year and then bring back and report up.”
Gurley advocates against tribalism, arguing people shouldn't let one group decide their opinions on everything.
“And I just feel like there's no reason that 50% of the world should have their opinion on everything decided by one group of people.”
