Most people overestimate their ability to read people’s personalities. This leads to hiring the wrong people for the wrong roles, managing people in the wrong ways, and overall just making life harder for everyone. The good news is that reading people’s personalities is a skill that you can develop and improve. Our guest today, Dr. Richard Davis, has just written a book teaching you how.
Richard gives us an overview of his book, “Good Judgment: Making Better Business Decisions with the Science of Human Personality.” He describes the five boxes that make up a personality blueprint: Intellect, sociability, emotionality, drive, and diligence. He teaches us how to study each one in the people who surround us.
Richard has spent his career analyzing personalities for top executive hires. It was incredible to have him on the show today to share some of his “secret sauce.”

We are thrilled to have her as our guest in this episode.
In our conversation with Caitlin, we talk about how to identify goals, create action plans, and develop routines. We also talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with likeminded people and healthy environments.

The top reason why startups fail isn’t about funding, technology, or the market. It’s because of people issues. Josh Yellin joins the show today to explain how to prioritize and work through issues between co-founders, teams, and whole organizations.
Josh Yellin has a decade of experience running the Google Startup Accelerator. He worked with the world’s most promising startups and their founders. He found that many startup founders are technical wizards, but haven’t managed organizations before. Compounding the issue, the experienced people brought onboard by founders have a hard time adjusting to a startup team.
Josh has now put all his experience and expertise in a book, “The Bonfire Moment, How to Bring Your Team Together to Solve the Hardest Problems Startups Face.” In today’s episode he gives us a few highlights: Common traps, Strawman vs Steelman arguments, and navigating feedback.
This is an episode you definitely don’t want to miss!

If you don’t know your core values, you can end up being wildly successful, but miserable. If you don’t know your team members’ core values, they’re probably going to leave. Today, our colleague Mark Donohue, joins us to talk about what core values are and how to discover them.  
We talk about how core values are factual, not aspirational. They aren’t what you aspire to be, but who you are at your core right now. By identifying them, you can better align your decisions with your sense of fulfillment, both in your professional and personal life. 
Mark walks us through the process of identifying them, and how they may change over time. We also talk about how to manage conflict around people’s unique core values, finding counterbalances and new ways of doing things.
Plus, we have a little fun with each other about our core values– it can be pretty amusing and endearing when you know your co-workers’ core values.
