Does your personality work at work? Personality can propel a person of average intelligence and education to great professional heights or prevent even the smartest person from achieving their career goals.

With the Assessment of Character Traits (ACT) Profile, Warren helps you recognize and understand which of your personality traits are assets and which get in your way. He details strategies for changing damaging and ineffective behaviors and zeros in on success traits to cultivate. Speaking to workers of every kind, he offers a road-tested map to both personal satisfaction and professional success.
