Using Personality Assessments for Hiring with Adrian Koehler

I'm sitting down with Adrian Koehler to discuss his coaching journey and the use of personality assessments in making hiring decisions for entrepreneurs. Adrian shares his own entrepreneurial story and how his experiences have shaped his coaching philosophy.

As entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves in the position of having to make hiring decisions with limited resources and time. Adrian emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own biases and how they can impact the assessment process. He suggests that using personality assessments as a basis for hiring decisions can be a useful approach to gauging an individual's fit for a particular job description.

We also explore how personality can be translated into performance on the ground and the importance of having the whole team on board to achieve tangible results. As entrepreneurs, it's crucial to be aware of our own biases and to question our assumptions when assessing others.
