Participants were given a score for decision-related action orientation (AOD), which essentially divided them into doers or procrastinators.

Understanding yourself is the best gift you can give yourself. From self-awareness emerges a better professional.

I’ve been on a large number of executive teams within global publishing companies, software developers, and associations. In the Big 500 firms, it’s standard to be asked to go for executive testing—sometimes as part of the hiring process.

It’s the start of New Year and we are all victims of the “resolutions” and “Fresh Start” bug. A viral that is in the air and somehow everyone seems to catch it. And yes, like most viral infections it runs its course and eventual we are cured of it! I am yet to meet an individual who has been able to keep a New Year resolution beyond the 30 day mark.
