Key Insights:

For Job Seekers
Look for companies where your values align with the existing team culture rather than places with aspirational values that aren't actually practiced day-to-day.

For Recruiters
Focus on identifying candidates with high agency and self-awareness. These traits are strong predictors of success and can be assessed through questions about how they respond to seemingly unfair feedback.

For Founders
Build tools that make complex information accessible to everyone in your company, as this transparency leads to better alignment, faster decision-making, and more fulfilling work experiences.
