As an employee, when you find your fit you deliver the best results and create attractive growth and career opportunities. For organizations, finding the right employees is key to accomplishing the companys mission, vision, values, and giving you your best business performance. Fit Matters shows you how.

Fit matters. When the fit isnt there it impacts many factors, one of the most important is centered around inclusion. When you dont feel like a true member of the team due to fit you are often made to feel like an outsider. When one feels like an outsider it can impact our self-esteem, self-confidence, and, over time, can impact our performance impact. Before taking on a new job, do your homework. Dont take the job if there is a mis-alignment to what is important to you. Fit Matters offers inspiration and ideas for ensuring that you find positive work fit.

I believe that fit is one of the most important and least understood aspects of work. It can make the difference between extraordinary success and satisfaction, or unexpected derailment and discontent. Today, when we expect employees to own their careers, recognizing what you personally need in order to thrive is essential. This book helps unlock some of the mystery and provides practical advice that will help people make better, more informed decisions about the opportunities they choose to pursue.

Being demoralized at work is one of the most life sapping experiences people can face we spend inordinate amounts of time and mental energy doing our work and if the fit isnt right, our lives often dont work well overall. Understanding what a great fit looks like and how to find yourself in that place will undoubtedly energize, revitalize, and make you a happier and more empowered person. This book will be the guide for your journey.

Shannon Stowell, President and CEO of the Adventure Travel Trade Association

It is unfortunate how many people are disengaged at work. We live in a time where you can work a company that aligns with your values and sense of purpose and your work is no longer a job but rather a calling. This is a profound difference, which authors Carrick and Dunaway understand completely. Fit Matters provides the road map for your great work fit!
