Conventional wisdom for the past century has been that managers should look for the “slow and steady” person to fill every position in corporate America - are they wrong?
Every crew member in my company, including myself, is ADD or ADHD. We move and grow fast. I use DISC and PRINT tests to determine how and why job candidates will act and react in the workplace. We use the results of each crew members' tests throughout each day to make sure we're communicating with each other in the most effective way that fits our workstyles. This helps harness our ADD/ADHD to constructively process loads of information and churn out tons of work quickly while jumping from the phone to document production to e-mail to meetings to lunches to events and back again. We're always happily being "distracted" just enough to keep us from getting bored.
