It's also sort of ironic how studies repeatedly show high preforming teams, are cognitively diverse teams. Even though research shows this, the hiring strategy of most technology companies, is hiring new employees with the same skills, and traits, as current employees.

This is a critical point that a lot of hiring misses. We talk about building great teams, but the hiring requirements are static and never seem to consider who's currently on the team and what mindsets or backgrounds are missing.
