Recently the CEO of Shopify, Tobi Lutke, released his letter to the employees and I was blown away. I haven't seen this kind of open transparency from a leader in a very long time.

This week I was struck by something I read from from Ray Dalio, where he spoke about implementing personality tests in his company and having been shocked by the results.

In this episode I discuss how to use personality tests and indexing effectively in your company. I also discuss fear in people and why it's so important to articulate your feelings and concerns in the workplace.
