In this episode Jason and Carol Schultz discuss:

• Always start at alignment 
• What does talent centricity mean 
• Hiring for cultural alignment 
• Why coaching is important 

Key Takeaways: 

• Companies and organizations must always begin at alignment. What do people in the organization believe is the most important? If people give different answers, that means that there’s a problem in alignment. 
• Talent centricity means that every person from every aspect of your organization is contributing equally in their area of expertise. 
• Don’t only hire for expertise, consider also how culturally fit a person is in your organization. For example, a competent person who isn’t able to communicate with others is not a good candidate for your team. 
• Great people don’t become great all by themselves. People who go on to do great things often have somebody or a group of people they are accountable to that help them improve and succeed. That’s why coaching is important for people who want to advance their career. 

“Until we can get into those blindspots with somebody, we cannot elicit change. Until we have the distinction, you cannot put a structure in space to keep it from limiting you and your progress.” - Carol Schultz
