Key Takeaways:
“Can I go through life wearing these ‘fly glasses’ where I'm only looking for the crap, or can I put my ‘bee glasses’ on and look for the color and the talents and the development, and try and spread that around a little bit? That is what I've noticed.“ – Matt Beadle
“Why are we expecting people to be great at everything? Why don't we encourage people to focus on their talents and try and be great at a handful of things, instead of being jack of all trades? You wouldn't ask a plumber to build something out of wood and expect it to be top quality. You wouldn't ask a pilot to incise, you know, an operation into somebody's chest and expect them to be a great surgeon. So why do we expect executives and business people to be good at everything?” – Matt Beadle
“Have a think about how you do something, not what you do, not the role on your business problems cognitively, and go through those five steps. And when you recognize those five things, then you're almost certainly looking at and dealing with talent.” – Matt Beadle
“The beauty of strengths orientation and changing your mindset towards a more sort of bee glasses approach is that it works in all walks of life.” – Matt Beadle
