Starting point is 00:01:24 So stick around and you make even when your next Tribal Procedure. shoot game with that fun fact. All right. Now, let's talk about why understanding behavior is critical when hiring. I want to share with you that there's plenty of examples of people who succeed in roles that they don't naturally align with, you know, with their behavioral tendencies. Sometimes people, you know, with sheer perseverance or strong why can bridge the gap of a behavioral misalignment with the role that you have them in.
Starting point is 00:01:55 but if you're aiming to build a consistent and predictable business, you're going to see far better results when you hire people whose behaviors align with the demands of the role. Dr. Marleston's disc assessment is a tool that can help you to identify those people. He categorizes behavior into four main types. D for dominance, I for influence, as for steadiness, and C, for conscientiousness. Now, let's go ahead and break these down into, some real-world examples.

They thrive in lively environments and they can really rally a team like nobody else can.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And then you've got the S's, the steady freddies, the calm, dependable backbones of any organization. High S personalities, they value stability, cooperation, sincerity, family. They avoid conflict.

You're going to see a lot of times you're going to see family photos in their workspace or even, you know, you give them a call on their, on their voicemail. You may even hear their kids leaving a voicemail a message alongside them. And then, C, for conscientiousness. These are your detailed oriented perfectionists. High C personalities. They focus on quality, accuracy, and logical reasoning. So if you're looking
