He also named Dhanji Prasanna, a longtime Block employee and its chief scientist, as the company's new CTO.

"It's a lazy and often surprising approach that we can avoid with direct and consistent feedback," Dorsey said of PIPs. "We want to help everyone achieve excellence here at Block," he added. Excellence in service to our customers, excellence in our craft, excellence in our respective disciplines, and excellence to each other.
