Why Most Businesses Fail And How To Avoid It | Takeaways

1. People are the biggest difference between average and elite businesses. Having the right people in the right roles is crucial.

2. Using behavioral assessments like the Predictive Index can help match people to roles they are naturally suited for and motivated by.

3. Different roles require different behavioral profiles – for example, acquisition managers need to be more dominant while lead managers need to be more collaborative.

4. Self-awareness as a leader is critical to hiring complementary team members who balance out your weaknesses.

5. Having the right strategy and hiring people who can execute that strategy is key, rather than just hiring based on experience or gut feeling during interviews.
