Cloning yourself might sound like a great way of getting more things done. Maybe that would work for getting the laundry done or mowing the grass. But if you're building your team, the last thing you want to do is surround yourself with people just like yourself. In order to know the difference, you have to learn about yourself. What you're good at, what you're not good at. You need to have others on your team that do not think just like you.
While the team is working toward the same goal, you'll never have creativity or diversity of thought. The question is.....do you have biases you don't recognize that hold your team back? Are you unintentionally being different with a group of people? When is it intentional, or conscious, and when is it unintentional, or unconscious? Mostly importantly, how can you work toward building your team without biases and blind spots? It's not as easy as you think.
