ABOUT THE SERIES
When you think about all the career possibilities, it can be overwhelming. So often we hear the terms "manager," "leader," and "entrepreneur," but what do those people really do? And could you do it too?
This series of eBooks by Caliper's Herb Greenberg and Patrick Sweeney explores that question as it relates to each of us, and gives us an answer to the question, "Could you succeed as...?"
Each eBook talks about the personality traits needed to succeed in that role and how to determine if you have those traits. The authors also spoke extensively with those who have succeeded in the position—and those who failed. What separates the two? These eBooks get to the heart of the issue.
