The evolutionary process is about discovering people's likes and dislikes as well as their strengths and weaknesses; it occurs when people are put into jobs they are likely to succeed at, but in which they have to stretch themselves. #principleoftheday (1/8)

Each person's career will evolve based on what we all learn about what the person is like. They should be given enough freedom to learn and think for themselves while being coached so they are prevented from making unacceptable mistakes. (2/8)

The feedback they receive should help them reflect on whether their problems are the kind that can be resolved by additional learning or stem from natural abilities that are unlikely to change. (3/8)

I'm up for auction. Let me clarify. The Council for Economic Education and I share the goal of helping young people and adults understand money and economics. We believe this skill that is fundamental to their well-being is neglected. (1/4)

CEE works with K-12 students, their families and teachers through their teaching and I work with everyone who wants to gain that knowledge through my books, video and social media. (2/4)

To raise money they are auctioning me—or more precisely a lunch with me—in New York City for the winning bidder and up to two guests. (3/4)

Idealistic people who have moralistic notions about how people should behave without understanding how people really do behave do more harm than good. #principleoftheday (1/5)

As a global macroeconomist and businessman and as a philanthropist I have seen this repeatedly in all those domains. (2/5)

I have come to believe that as well-intentioned as they are, impractical idealists are dangerous and destructive, whereas practical idealists make the world a better place. (3/5)

There are all sorts of jobs and they require all types of people to handle them. #principleoftheday (1/5)

I am frequently biased toward finding the entrepreneur type--a clever, open-minded scrapper who will find the best solution--and I have often been disappointed. (2/5)

On the other hand, sometimes I have found a master craftsman who has devoted decades to his specialty who I could completely rely on. (3/5)

People's personalities are pretty well formed before they come to you, and they've been leaving their fingerprints all over the place since childhood; anyone is fairly knowable if you do your homework. #principleoftheday (1/4)

You have to get at their values, abilities, and skills: Do they have a track record of excellence in what you're expecting them to do? Have they done the thing you want them to do successfully at least three times? (2/4)

If not, you're making a lower-probability bet, so you want to have really good reasons for doing so. That doesn't mean you should never allow yourself or others to do anything new; of course you should. But do it with appropriate caution and with guardrails. (3/4)

A number of people have asked me what I’ll be doing now that I’ve transitioned Bridgewater to new leadership. (1/7)

While I’ll remain a mentor to Bridgewater’s investment team, with the transition complete, I can now do a lot more of what I love to do and less of what I have to do to get the results I want. (2/7)

Now my highest priority is to pass along what I learned and acquired to help others rather than to just help Bridgewater employees and clients. (3/7)
