Traasdahl describes the "better leg" coaching practice of a soccer coach in his Norwegian home town. Everyone has something that they are better or good at, the key is finding this and helping that person use his skills to best effect at a company. He describes his interviewing approach trying to avoid misunderstood geniuses types and asking people if they though they were lucky, a 7 being about the right level for this question out of a ten- leaving room for extra effort when things don't go your way. He says coming from a small town in Norway meant he had to put in that extra bit of effort to succeed in the competitive environment of the U.S. He is up everday at 4 or 5 am.

Are Traasdahl, C.E.O. of Tapad, on Empowering Employees
New York Times 06/19/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
