-Efficiency climbs: we work smarter and waste less time in meetings
-Life gets better: we have more time for leisure, connection, reflection

What a depressing indictment of modern education. It doesn’t have to be this way.

School requires you to learn about things after the answer has already been decided.
Life requires you to learn about things while the answer is in the process of being decided.

Yes, we all have blind spots: weaknesses we can’t or won’t see.
But we also have bright spots: strengths that aren't visible to us.
Teammates bring out the best in us when they hold up a mirror, so we can see our hidden strengths and put them into action.

Can we really change parts of our personality that we don't like?
Maybe so, as long as we make a plan and follow through, according to newly published research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. theladders.com/career-advice…

Just a thought, but if “millions” have benefited from @franklincovey training, why aren’t we seeing the impact on company performance?

This is embarrassingly wrong on so many levels it’s hard to know where to begin.

A happy employee is NOT always a productive employee. Engagement and performance are only weakly related. Higher performance instead results from clear and difficult goals and having the requisite skills and abilities to do the job well, to begin with.
