The HR Gazette

In this HRchat episode, Bill Banham talks with Matt Poepsel, Ph.D. about how to attract and manage a high-performing team.

Matt is “The Godfather of Talent Optimization” and the Vice President of Partner Growth at The Predictive Index, a talent optimization platform.

He has served in product and partner empowerment roles at The Predictive Index for the past 7 years. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Capella University and is a former U.S. Marine and Ironman triathlon finisher.

Questions Include:

  • Why does your team claim that "Once you start practicing talent optimization, you’ll never go back to “the old way” of leading"?
  • How can managers help their employees be more accountable?
  • Can you share some tips for leaders looking to better communicate with their teams both in-person and remotely? 
  • Why is it important, after you’ve pulled together the right candidates, to keep a pulse on employee engagement to nip problems in the bud? Talk to me about the benefits of ongoing feedback and engagement surveys?
  • There's a great post on your blog called 'Dysfunctional teams: The 5 characteristics' Can you walk our listeners through those 5 characteristics?
