Jason reveals why personality profiles are like blood tests for teams, getting actual data instead of guessing what's wrong and masking problems with pills of consequences (firing, moving, black clouding people). He shares the story of a project manager who hated emails and wanted verbal communication, once Jason knew this their relationship blossomed. Player cards summarize key characteristics so teams know how to interact, give feedback, have conflict, and build safe pathways to communication. The three best profiles: Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, Six Working Geniuses. Teams that communicate more effectively are the winning teams.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Player cards: Summarized cards showing key characteristics, how someone wants feedback, strengths, weaknesses, how to support them
- Top 3 personality profiles: Myers-Briggs (MBTI), StrengthsFinder, Six Working Geniuses for $60-110 per person
- Cancer and leprosy analogies: Body doesn't know the problem so can't fix it, same with teams
- Naturopathic doctor story: Blood tests with 100 data points fix root cause vs regular doctors guessing and prescribing pills to mask problems
- Black boxes from airplane crashes: Difference between wrecking and not wrecking is how much captain and first officer communicated
- Six steps not five: Know each other, trust, healthy conflict, set goals, accountability, perform
You can't trust each other unless you know each other, why would
we guess what's wrong when we could get data and fix the root
cause?
