A Quote by Simon Mainwaring
When thinking through who to bring together to generate new ideas, it is more effective to combine specialists from very different and unrelated disciplines rather than a variety of people with different skills sets in the same field.

I would rather have a candidate that`s cohesive in bringing people together from different ethnic backgrounds but around the same policy than I would a politician that jumps and stumps in different rooms and has a different story every time.
Because when you work with a different team, the expectations are different and then you deliver in a very different way. You look back at it and you're proud of yourself.
