Successful innovation efforts require bringing together divergent points of view. However, most make the fatal flaw of hiring only those people who “fit the company mold.” 

Introducing Personality Poker®, the playing card tool for driving high-performance teamwork and innovation.

In Personality Poker®, players trade specially-designed cards—each printed with a different character trait—until they’ve created a hand that best describes their own preferred approach to innovation. Based on the suits, colors, and numbers of the cards, your organization will be able to:
    • Create balanced teams that represent all personality styles (Playing with a Full Deck)
    • Put the right people in the right roles (Playing to Everyone’s Strong Suit)
    • Divide the work in a way that maximizes efficiency (Dealing Out Tasks)
    • Bring together all styles to encourage collaboration (Shuffling the Deck)

Personality Poker® is also a powerful tool for assessing your team/organization culture. This will help you retain and recruit employees more effectively.

It is remarkably easy to administer, and we have a variety of tools to help you deliver exceptional value each and every time!

Finally, after 10 years, the Personality Poker book will be available again

Back in 2010, Portfolio Penguin published the first edition of Personality Poker. It came with a deck of cards—fun for readers, but a nightmare for bookshelves.

When the books shipped, the card decks kept falling off. Even worse, the back of the book (where the cards were attached) was too tall to fit on most bookcases. In 2014, we reluctantly retired the book.

Fast forward to today… interest in Personality Poker has only grown. So for 2025, we’re bringing it back—updated, refreshed, and ready to deal you in.

The paperback version of Personality Poker ships in mid-September, but why wait? 

If you grab your paperback copy now, you’ll also get these early-buyer bonuses: The ebook and audiobook versions of Personality Poker plus the ebook version of Best Practices Are Stupid (2023 edition).

And back my popular demand, we are now selling our starter kit again! Details below.
