Style Your Career to Suit Your Style
Adults spend a good third of their life at work. Yet, how many are prepared to meet this challenge? Most training for work teaches that individuals should fit the job. The Work Style Assessment (WSA) helps individuals understand their unique assets and how they may find the career and job that "fits" them.
A vocational, coaching, and Industrial-Organizational instrument, the WSA:
| Helps individuals approach occupation, the workplace, customers, supervisors, and coworkers in ways that take into account individual styles and preferences | |
| Helps individuals become aware of useful and useless approaches to work and work relationships | |
| Helps individuals better understand job fit, job search, career potential, favorable and unfavorable work relationships, and consequences of behavior. | |
| Helps individuals become more aware of their power of choice | |
| Helps individuals direct their energies into finding fulfillment in the world of work |
Useful, also, for management and work teams, the WSA shows how to supervise and work more respectively, efficiently, and cooperatively. Take advantage of every team member’s strengths!
Developed by Dr. Les White, the WSA is the “tool”
you need to find a better place in the world of work!
Using the WSA with other vocational and Industrial-Organizational “Tests”
Historically, people have been identified by what they do for work. However, one’s work and one’s personality style often are not aligned. To place people into “slots,” executive search firms, managers, career consultants, and human resource specialists often administer forced-choice assessment tests that are composed of True-False and multiple choice questions. Individuals, however, often consider these tests impersonal and irrelevant to their situations. By matching their test scores with the scores of thousands of other test takers who are toiling away in various positions, many of these tests then report possible career interests, leadership styles, and job related stressors. The scores and reports, especially if computer generated, often are misleading and contradictory. Individuals have trouble relating this information to the specifics of their own lives.
The WSA, in comparison, is a qualitative instrument that is tailored to the individual. Focusing on personal experiences, it identifies individual goals, resources, and leadership and decision-making styles. It also highlights new goals for experiential growth.
When administered with other vocational and Industrial-Organizational tests, the WSA proves itself invaluable because it personalizes the data by anchoring it to one’s personal experiences. Test results become more meaningful and powerful. The WSA shows individuals, and work teams, that by reflecting onto their own experiences, they have the power within themselves to change their paths and make a difference.
You can not afford not to know about the WSA.
