In this brief monologue, the speaker emphasizes that some of the most effective leaders on his teams have been newcomers who bring fresh ideas. He stresses the importance of actively listening to these new voices, noting that they often have a different perspective or filter on how things are done. By consistently valuing and incorporating the insights of newer team members, he attributes his ability to grow teams throughout his career to this practice of embracing fresh ideas and perspectives.

Some of the best leaders on my team in the past have been like brand new because they come with fresh ideas and because I try really hard to take on those ideas. Because I will tell you this, sometimes the people who haven't been in the organization for a long time have a different filter on how you do things. And one of the reasons why I've been able to grow teams consistently throughout my career was because I really, really tried to listen to the new people.
