HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A MAVERICK?
“Somebody who is viewed by other people in the group to be different in some ways. Whether it’s the way that they behave or the way they think. It’s somebody who’s not following the convention; the normal convention. The easiest way to say, not so much as a maverick, it’s somebody who’s a non-conformist. Somebody who prefers to explore different ways of doing something and different viewpoints.”
