Description
Expertise and Identity: A Study of Individuals Who Succeeded Repeatedly in Life and Career Transitions by Christopher Connolly and Fernand Gobet. This book examines the nature of expertise that enables individuals to make repeated successful transitions over the course of their career. Through a systematic review of relevant literature and an analysis of in-depth interviews with key expert performers, the authors explore the roles of motivation, cognitive flexibility, personal intelligence, generative thinking, and contextual intelligence in this process. The book also sheds light on how identity changes and adapts during a career transition, and how self-concept evolves over the course of a career. With its wide appeal to academics and professionals across various domains, including psychology, sports, music, and business, this study offers valuable insights for those seeking to understand and develop expertise in their own careers. Paperback, 428 pages.
