Dalibor’s favourite quote comes from NBA Head Coach Steve Kerr — "You actually will come across stronger to the people you’re leading if you show that you don’t have all the answers. As long as they know you’re putting in the work, that you know what you’re talking about. Because what we’re doing is more art than science."
