      Job Challenge Profile, Participant Workbook and Survey - Cynthia D. McCauley

      Introduction

      THINK ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE LEARNED much of what has made you successful thus far in your career. If you are like most people, you have learned a great deal from your actual work experiences—from handling the tasks, responsibilities, and pressures in each of your job assignments. Thus, it probably comes as no surprise to you that people’s jobs are a rich source of continuous learning.

      But some jobs provide more learning opportunities than others. When people describe their most developmental jobs, they more often than not use a particular adjective: challenging. What do they mean by challenging? Challenge means being stretched beyond one’s current capacities. Challenge means being in a dynamic setting with problems to solve and choices to make under conditions of risk and uncertainty.

      By asking successful executives to describe their most developmental jobs and by asking managers what and how much they are learning from their current jobs, we have isolated a set of job components that are particularly potent for the development of managerial skills and perspectives. When one of these components is present in a job, managers are more likely to feel challenged and to report learning and growing as a result of that job.

      On the Job Challenge Profile, you rated the degree to which you experience these job components in your current job. Your ratings reflect your scores on what we have determined to be the ten most developmental job components. These fall into the five clusters that represent different aspects of managerial work listed below. Each component is defined further in Table 1.

      •  Unfamiliar Responsibilities

      Creating Change

      •  New Directions
