Think you know your people? Think again.

Talent misalignment is costing you millions—maybe more.

Let’s get straight to the point: if you are leading a team without understanding how your people think, you are setting yourself up for failure. Ray Dalio built Bridgewater into one of the largest hedge funds in the world by mastering this skill, and it is time you did too. He knew that to scale a business to greatness, every person on your team must be aligned with the role they are meant to play. This is not about fuzzy concepts like cognitive diversity—it is about cold, hard alignment. Background. Experience. Mindset. These are what matter when it comes to job fit. And they are what you are ignoring at your peril.
