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.” If you're a bold risk taker who wants to dream big and achieve a higher level of success in your life or business, visit the1thing.com to learn about our one-on-one coaching, as well as our exclusive community membership program. *** To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods.
