This document discusses how to find fulfilling work by identifying your "career superhero" type based on personality. It presents a typology that categorizes people into four superhero families - Makers, Founders, Fighters, and Helpers - with different characteristics and career paths. Statistics show many employees are disengaged at work. The document advocates figuring out your authentic self to pursue work you love instead of just getting by. It provides a online test to determine your superhero type and suggests how each type can find fulfilling work through different career dimensions and roles.

promoting people who lack the talent hurts workers…
but in far too many businesses, employees with
simply the longest tenure are moved into
management…“
„The talent for managing people is more of
an accidental dividend than a desired
characteristic among German
managers…“

I meet all kinds
of people who
don't enjoy
what they do.
They simply go
through their
lives getting on
with it.
But I also meet
people who
love what they
do and couldn’t
imagine doing
anything else.
They say:
„This is me!“
„It would be
foolish for me to
abandon this,
because it speaks
to my most
authentic self!“

career
superhero!

or projects. I lead
teams and grow
ideas.

place.
