Description

"Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve. It doesn't mean treating everyone alike." - John Wooden, legendary UCLA Men's basketball coach

In today’s episode we discuss the roles our Consistency® talents have played in our lives and why we believe these talents make us stable, predictable, and trustworthy. As we dig to get to the bottom of the motivation of this theme we find a common thread – fairness.

Key notes from today’s episode:

• As a teammate, realize the gift of your Consistency® talents, it is ok to be the ‘polite squeaky wheel’ speaking up when you see injustice.
• As a leader with high Consistency® talents, lean on your ability to be fair, practical, and level the playing field to build stability within your team.
• Realize those with high Consistency® talents have expectations that rules will be the same for all parties.
• During times of change, engage your teammates with high Consistency® talents to review the new processes and procedures to ensure fairness.

We would be remiss if we didn't recognize that we're releasing this episode the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (1/16/23). Dr. King's pursuit of justice and equality for all definitely connects to many of the points we explore today. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do you or someone you work with have high Consistency® talents, did you find our explanation fair? We welcome your thoughts and feedback.
