Hedge-fund billionaire Ray Dalio took career questions from LinkedIn users. Here are his 8 most valuable insights.

Another LinkedIn user asked Dalio about two perennially elusive skills: time management and calendar-planning.
Another asked two questions. The first was about whether Dalio's 2012 diagnosis of possible Barrett's esophagus — a pre-cancerous throat disease — was stress-related. The second was whether Dalio's principles could apply to women.
Dalio talked about some of the tools Bridgewater uses to ensure radical transparency, including the "Dot Collector" app, which employees use to rate one another during meetings.
One user asked about implementing Dalio's principles in a workplace that may not readily accept them.
Another user asked Dalio the same question, but wanted him to boil his principles down to just two.
Dalio answered one user's question about implementing his principles in government agencies, like education.
One user asked if Dalio was working on a training course, which gave Dalio a chance to plug his app, "Principles in Action," based on his 2017 best seller, "Principles."
