IH081 - CURATION MATH: THE CRITICAL EQUATION ABOUT PEOPLE

There is a moment in life and at work when I think the whole thing is just about finding and holding on to the right people. On the work front, you suddenly see that what is standing in the way of your organization’s ability to meet its goals, sell, and transform is far less about market forces, competition, or customer needs and more about whether you have surrounded yourself with the right people—and most times you haven’t. That truth holds true on the life front as well. What is standing in the way of your life having more meaning, joy, and growth is less about the size of your house, how much cash you have, or your next vacation, and much more about whether you have surrounded yourself with the right people—and most times you haven’t.

In today’s episode, I discuss curation math and the critical equation about people. I highlight the consequences of not recognizing “the right people problem” and the criteria for “right” and “wrong.” I share the values and traits of seekers and additive people and the attributes and mindsets of subtractive and neutral people. I reveal how to conduct your curation math and the minimum additive people percentage. I also provide questions to ask yourself to determine if people are additive, subtractive, or neutral for you.

“If additive people are proactive, then neutral people are reactive, and subtractive people are regressive.” - Chris Colbert
