Twelve
specific and very important cognitive functions begin developing in the
brain at birth. These "skills" are built in to every individual and are
fully developed -- and unchangeable -- by adulthood. Everyone has these same
capabilities, but to varying degrees. And it is this unique and unalterable
combination of one’s strengths and weaknesses that determines success or
failure in any given role. Smarts contains the groundbreaking Executive
Skills Profile: a powerful self-assessment tool that will identify, once and
for all, a person’s innate strengths and weaknesses. The results offer
tangible proof of why we gravitate to certain tasks and struggle with
others. With this newfound clarity, readers will learn to play to their
stronger skills, and avoid wasting time on lesser ones they can never
improve upon. Most important, they will discover their own unique potential
for excellence. Supported by proprietary primary research and grounded in
widely accepted principles of clinical and neuro-psychology, Smarts is a
truly eye-opening book that will change how we think about ourselves -- and
others.
