My father spent decades as an engineering professor. He wrote a textbook on materials.
His decision tree software that was based on classification tables of raw materials, parts, equipment and processes used in creating higher value finished goods was used in the 80s and 90s by many of the largest manufacturers in the world (Boeing, Caterpillar, Westinghouse, Lockheed Martin, etc). My father is a genius.
Dr. Don Clifton spent fifty years studying hundreds of thousands of successful people in hundreds of occupations and classifying the natural talents they possessed which allowed them to excel in certain roles.
When I encountered his ingenious work I realized that while my dad’s system helped manufacturers create value, Don’s system help parents, teachers and leaders understand individuals, spot talent and help people reach their full potential.
I dream of the day where billions of people know their talents and strengths, and where schools and workplaces are designed to help each person achieve excellence and receive the rewards and recognition that come from doing great work.
