StrengthsFinder 2.0

In my opinion, the most common management error is in the wrong selection of personnel or in the wrong distribution of responsibilities. And if the project fails for any reason, then the head should fly from the manager, not from the subordinate. It is clear that the manager should at least superficially understand the area over which his team works.
But besides this, the boss must be a good psychologist in order to choose the right team for himself and distribute tasks. Even in the case of “I blinded him from what was” with the right approach, it is possible not to sit in a puddle. In turn, the head should receive zp. above.
In this post I want to talk about the approach that uses both my boss and top management. Tasks among the team are distributed in accordance with the nature of a person. Immediately leaks the thought that we drank more than one “cup of tea” until we knew each other. But this is not true. Everyone in our team passed the StrengthsFinder 2.0 self-assessment test. A test based on about 170 questions (not related to professional activities) indicates the 5 most powerful traits of a person. The general idea is that you should not puff and try to do what you are not given initially. And you need to develop your strengths and choose a job in accordance with your strengths.
According to the results of the self-assessment, we had a meeting of the whole team, which is scattered around the world. At this meeting, everyone presented his results and told what he would like to do and (most importantly) what he does not want to do or what hinders his work. To the point that coffee is bad or there is no free chocolate, i.e. brain fuel. And what is the result? As a result, I do what I like and think (and not only me) that with high efficiency. And the most important thing is that everyone agreed with the objectivity (~ 98%) of the results.
I myself do not have much experience in selecting my team. But if a miracle happens, and this time will come, then I would like to see the StrengthsFinder Results item in the resume of the future employee.
That's all, Thank you all for your attention.

ZY When I tested all the questions were in English, and now there is a translation into Russian.
