Synopsis

THAT COWORKER WHO DRIVES YOU NUTS?
THEY'RE THE ACE UP YOUR SLEEVE.

With the best of intentions, you hire people who fit the mold. The problem? When everyone fits the mold, your organization grows mold.

You get stale thinking. Safe ideas. Zero breakthroughs.

You end up playing with only half a deck. The perspectives you avoid—the colleagues who make you cringe, the ideas that sound crazy—are the missing cards. And ignoring them is costing you.

In You’re Not Playing with a Full Deck, innovation expert Stephen M. Shapiro reveals that true business success requires a diverse hand. This is not just another personality test; it is an organizational diagnostic tool that identifies precisely why your team has stalled—and why innovation isn’t happening.

Using the metaphor of a deck of cards, Shapiro introduces four essential thinking styles:

• Spades (analytical)
• Diamonds (creative)
• Clubs (action-oriented)
• Hearts (people-focused)

If your team is missing even one of these suits, you won’t play to your full potential.

Written for executives and team leaders who are tired of corporate fluff, this book shows you how to:

• Turn the colleagues who drive you crazy into a competitive advantage. They unlock what you've been missing.
• Identify which cards are missing from your team, and why that’s costing you.
• Rethink culture fit. It’s blocking your growth by making you overlook the people who could change everything.
• Ensure your meetings are playing with a full deck. The right balance of meetings with the right people leading the way.
• Build what AI can’t replace. When every digital tool becomes a commodity, how your people think together is your organization’s only real differentiator.

No fluff. No 47-page reports. No lengthy assessments. No corporate BS. You’re Not Playing with a Full Deck is a fast-paced read that’ll change how you see everyone you work with… especially the ones you’d rather avoid.

Based on the award-winning Personality Poker system that has been played by over 250,000 individuals worldwide.
