The best way to understand a persons true potential, is to understand their STORY.
Context is everything.
It’s amazing if you went to a great college, and made top grades. It really is, and that will get you into most roles.
But it’s totally unique, if you did something similar, whilst helping run a family business, or supporting a sick parent. Or if you moved country just to study, leaving your family and friends behind, and still made the grades.
In order to read people effectively, try to understand their STORY.
It is the length of the stride that matters, not just where they are now.
Where have they come from?
The size of the stride is an accurate predictor of their future success.
