Recently I conducted an exercise at eRep to analyze why people take the Core Values Index psychometric assessment. Our clients fall into three groups: individuals, job seekers, and employers. On the surface, all three had very different motivations. But what we found underlying all three groups may surprise you.

In this article, we cover three hot topics. First, we discuss the process of hiring without conducting an interview. Then, we move onto a controversial policy by a New Zealand professional services firm that pays their employees for a 40-hour work week but only requires them to work 32 hours. And finally, we discuss the possibility of actually looking forward to performance evaluations.

Each of us has a collection of mental or emotional barriers we feel are insurmountable. Sometimes we are fully aware of our capabilities and limitations (imagined or real) but more often we are unaware of our true strengths. Because of this, we pursue life paths that may not be compatible with our innate, unchanging nature.

After learning more about how the CVI works and reflecting on my past experiences, I realized that whenever I was in a place that contradicted my profile, it took a lot more work and effort to achieve success than would have been necessary if I had been living within my 'happy place.'

Imagine you're at a networking event or a neighborhood block party or maybe chatting with other parents at your kid's soccer game. You meet some new people and the dreaded question comes up: "What do you do?"

They say money doesn't buy happiness, and perhaps that's true — the best things in life are free. If we can't put a price tag on happiness, can we put a score on it and measure it objectively? There is a now a way to accurately measure individual happiness both at home and at work, and the best part is it's free.

We all have heard the aphorism that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. The more pragmatic advice tells us to identify what we love to do and figure out how to get paid for it. This is easier said than done, right? Maybe not.

The three components of the Performance Fuel formula — clarity, purpose, and feedback — work together. Purpose is the feeling that what you do matters and will be appreciated. Unfortunately in many organizations today, the value of purpose in our work is often unappreciated.

Each core value has a particular way of dealing with conflict and fear. Everyone feels challenged or out of their element at times and the way we react to these situations depends entirely on our core values. One of the most useful insights provided by the full CVI report is how your particular CVI profile handles conflict. We call it Conflict Resolution Strategies and it provides powerful information that can change your personal and professional life in a profound way.

I wrote three novels in three years. It took a lot of time, but it wasn't work.

It didn't take effort to write those books, it took effort not to.
