The People Playbook - Tony Alessandra with Assessments 24x7 (4-4-26)

About this episode

Coach Cora interviews Tony Alessandra about the effective use of behavioral assessments in leadership.

Behavioral assessments aren’t meant to label people—they’re meant to guide how leaders develop them. In this episode of The People Playbook with Coach Cora , Coach Cora sits down with Tony Alessandra, Founder of  Assessments 24x7, to explore how tools like DISC are often misused—and how to apply them more effectively. Drawing on decades of experience, Tony explains how assessments create a shared language for understanding behavior—especially under pressure—and where leaders go wrong by oversimplifying results. When used well, these tools improve communication, increase self-awareness, and drive stronger performance across teams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
