Show notes
In today’s episode, I mentioned or referenced:
- You should know your “assessments.” Here are a few to consider:
- 16 Personalities
- Myers-Briggs ( for this one, you’ll probably need to find someone certified in their assessment to take it and get the results)
- StrengthsFinder 2.0 (book with assessment) or StrengthsFinder 34 Assessment from Gallup
- Deloitte Business Chemistry (you might need to purchase their book if you want more detail than the PDF they offer on this page).
- Conceptual thinking and case study frameworks examples from one source
- You should check out a few leadership personalities like Simon Sinek, Brene Brown, Michael Hyatt, and Pat Lencioni.
- The free Interview Prep Quick Start Guide
- This week I continued answering your interview questions! If you want your question answered, just send an email to Josh@equippedinterview.com or leave me a voice message and I’ll answer your question on the podcast!
Glad you added tip #6. Being a leader to former peers can be very tricky, especially if you have to evaluate them.
