Facebook Prediction of Future Job Performance Trumps Traditional Personality Assessments…
Wow. What a statement!
If this Northern Illinois University study is correct, and Facebook is a better barometer of a candidate’s potential job performance than traditional personality assessments, what does that mean for hiring managers? Do we simply spend five to 10 minutes perusing candidates’ Facebook profiles to predict future job performance?

And, what does YOUR Facebook profile say about your chances for success in your next role?
Puts a whole new perspective on that comment you made on the game last night, eh?
Design. Design. Design…
It’s the secret behind the success of Pinterest.
Check out Sahil Lavingia’s perspective on the design genius behind wildly popular stuff-sharing phenomenon, Pinterest: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669189/pinterests-founding-designer-shares-his-dead-simple-design-philosophy
The bottom line?
Design isn’t just wire frames or visual style; it’s about the product as a whole.
Here’s my favorite part:
“…Design should be considered a facet of everything you do, as well as a means of improving your business. Imagine if your site were to slow down. What would you do? You’d try to make it faster, or find an engineer that could. You’d make a conscious design decision to make your site quicker to use, because you understand that doing so will make your offerings more accessible and user-friendly. Apply that principle of improvement to everything else.”
Lavingia is the designer/founder/CEO of Gumroad, and was previously on the founding team of Pinterest.

In this compelling and passionate talk, author Susan Cain argues that introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.
Now, think of someone on your team or in your world who’s an introvert and tell me, how can you encourage and celebrate them more?
