At Shine Associates, we take a page from Ted Lasso's playbook. Remember that time Ted won the darts game because his opponent underestimated him? Ted reminds us: “Be curious, not judgmental.” When evaluating candidates, let's focus on their potential and unique experiences rather than quick judgments based on resumes. You never know what hidden talents you might discover! Watch the clip for a dose of inspiration.
