No more haphazard job switching, hazy career path, or worse, landing a really great job that you're really bad at! Now there's a sure-fire, scientific way to pinpoint the best job for you--and those you should definitely avoid.
Work Your Strengths taps into the powerful new concept of Executive Skills, which you can use to predict and maximize career success. With Work Your Strengths, the ground-breaking neuroscience behind the Executive Skills model has finally been brought into the career realm.
Executive Skills aren't simply your IQ or temperament or even education and training. Instead, they're a combination of brain functions that begin at birth and become hardwired in adulthood. Take the authors' free online test to discover your innate strengths and weaknesses in areas such as working memory, emotional control, sustained attention, organizational skills, goal-directed persistence, flexibility, stress tolerance, and more. By matching your own profile against the Executive Skills of high achievers in a multitude of professions and industries, you'll understand exactly which ones are crucial in which positions--and which weaknesses could spell serious trouble in specific jobs, departments, and industries.
