You will have to get over your reluctance to assess what people are like if you want to surround yourself with people who have the qualities you need. That goes for yourself too. People almost always find it difficult to identify and accept their own mistakes and weaknesses. 1/4 Image
Sometimes it's because they're blind to them, but more often it's because their egos get in the way. 2/4
More than anything else, what differentiates people who live up to their potential from those who don't is their willingness to look at themselves and others objectively and understand the root causes standing in their way. 3/4
Because I’m keen to help people know what they’re like, know what the people around them are like, and help them get what they want, I created PrinciplesYou with 3 great personality experts. principlesyou.com/?utm_source=Tw…

As I explained in “Why and How Capitalism Needs to be Reformed,” (linkedin.com/pulse/why-how-…) support for basics that are humane, help people succeed, and improve human capital development are smart investments... (1/6)
...such as free early childhood education, free access to community college, broadband connectivity infrastructure, and free lunches for students in poor neighborhoods. (2/6)
To have starving uneducated children is both morally terrible and something that society pays an enormous price for. To not have connectivity in 2021 is like not having electricity was nearly 100 years ago. (3/6)

Some ways of thinking will serve you well for some purposes and serve you poorly for others. It is highly desirable to understand one’s own and others’ ways of thinking and their best applications. Some qualities are more suitable for some jobs. (1/4) Image
If you're not naturally good at one type of thinking, it doesn't mean you're precluded from paths that require it. (2/4)
It does, however, require that you either work with someone who has that required way of thinking (which works best) or learn to think differently (which is difficult or even impossible). (3/4)

Develop a full profile of each person’s values, abilities, and skills. These qualities are the real drivers of behavior, so knowing them in detail will tell you which jobs a person can and cannot do well, which ones they should avoid, and how the person should be trained. (1/4)
These profiles should change as the people change.

If you don’t know your people well, you don’t know what you can expect from them. You’re flying blind and you have no one to blame but yourself if you don’t get the outcomes you’re expecting. (2/4)

Remember that people are built very differently and that different ways of seeing and thinking make people suitable for different jobs. Some ways of thinking will serve you well for some purposes and serve you poorly for others. (1/4)

Because of the biases with which we are wired, our self-assessments (and our assessments of others) tend to be highly inaccurate. Psychometric assessments are much more reliable. (1/5)
They are important in helping explore how people think during the hiring process and throughout employment. (2/5)
If I had to choose between just the assessments or just traditional job interviews to get at what people are like, I would choose the assessments. Fortunately, we don’t have to make that choice. (3/5)

As many of you know, one of my goals in this stage of my life is to help others be successful. For the past few years, I’ve been working with expert psychologists Dr. @AdamMGrant, Dr. Brian Little, and Dr. John Golden, to design a personality assessment. (1/4)
PrincplesYou paints a clear, comprehensive portrait of who you are and how you work with others because I believe accurate self knowledge is the key to success in work and life. (2/4)
I am thrilled to announce this innovative tool, backed by best-in-class psychometrics, is now available for free to everyone.
