15 min - Happy Holidays from Jack and Joe
Thanks for tuning into The 90th Percentile Podcast this year.
In the book, Blueprint, the Yale scholar Nikolas Christakis, argues that over time we have developed a set of highly beneficial social features that lead us to love, community, friendships, and cooperation. He contends that we cannot escape our overall blueprint for goodness. After reviewing scientific evidence from both the animal and human spheres, he concludes:
“This project of evolutionary sociology reveals that humans everywhere are pre-wired to make a particular kind of society—one full of love, friendship, cooperation, and learning.
We wish you and your family, and your firm, a joyous Holiday and our optimism that 2022 will be an even better year.

13 min - Episode 57: 7 Things Leaders Do to Help People ChangeDetails
Have you ever tried to change anyone’s behavior at work? It can be extremely frustrating. So often the effort produces an opposite result: rupturing the relationship, diminishing job performance, or causing the person to dig in their heels. Still, some approaches clearly work better than others. We reviewed a dataset of 2,852 direct reports of 559 leaders. The direct reports rated their managers on 49 behaviors and also assessed the leaders on their effectiveness at leading change – specifically, the managers’ ability to influence others to move in the direction the organization wanted to go. In this podcast episode, we discuss seven things you can do to help people change for the better.
Subscribe to Joe Folkman’s LinkedIn Newsletter Leadership Psychometrics, to read his latest research.
Key Insights- We found that some behaviors were less helpful in changing others. We found two that had little to no impact, thereby providing useful guidance on what not to do. They were being nice and nagging.
- Don’t just solve problems; recognize them. Change initiatives work best when everyone’s sight is fixed on the same goal.
- Leaders who excel at driving change will challenge even the rules that seem carved in stone.
- To help people change, you need to clear away the competing priorities and shine a spotlight on this one change effort. Leaders who do this well have a daily focus on the change effort, track its progress carefully, and encourage others.

16 min - Episode 56: Extraordinary Performers- Why You Need Them & How to Keep ThemDetails
In a society that showers attention on those in power, it is valuable to remember that those in the C suite are not the only ones doing the remarkable everyday work that causes organizations to excel. Much of the excellence comes from the host of people who conscientiously get work done and constantly look for ways to do it better. In this episode, we’re talking about extraordinary performers, why you need them and how to keep them.
Key InsightsEpi- We collected 24,826 evaluations on 2,055 individual contributors. Using those evaluations, we looked at the “good” performers who were rated at the 30th to the 70th percentile and compared them to the “best” performers (those were rated above 90%).
- We found that many individual contributors have a tendency to become excellent sandbaggers. They assume their manager will keep piling on work until they reach a point where they can’t accomplish all the work that has been assigned.
- We found that the best individual contributors were highly effective at achieving objectives that required a high level of cooperation from people in other parts of the organization.
- It was fascinating that the best individual contributors were highly effective at representing the group to other groups in the organization.
- For some individual contributors, it is not the lack of feedback that is the problem; it is that they are constantly giving feedback in a negative way, resulting in distrust and anger in the organization.
