THA S02 EP#28 - Stop Guessing, Start Mapping: The Science of People Strategy


Listen Later

Most leaders think they know their people. Jason Taylor says the data tells a different story.

Jason is the President of JET Coaching Co. and Managing Principal at Predictive Success Corporation. His work is built around one question: do you actually have the right person in the right role? Not who you think is right for it. Not who has seniority. The person whose behavioral makeup fits what the job actually demands.

In this conversation, we get into the science behind the Predictive Index, what really drives misalignment on teams, and why the best salesperson on your team is probably not your next sales manager.

We also talk about self-awareness. Jason shares a stat from a Harvard researcher that stopped me cold: 95% of people believe they are self-aware. Only 15% actually are. That gap is where most leadership problems live.

Topics covered in this episode: why promoting your best performer is often the wrong move, the four behavioral factors the Predictive Index measures, how to map your team so you stop guessing, what true self-awareness looks like in practice, the four types of team members every leader has right now, why growth does not always mean a promotion, and what Jason calls better work, better world.
