Although most observers give little attention to how genetics affects your behavior in the work world, your DNA accounts for over one third of the difference between you and your co-workers on many dimensions of your work life, including your work interests, work values, decision making, risk taking, management style, leadership style, creativity, entrepreneurship, and work performance, among other aspects of your work life. This book explains how your genes affect your behavior in the workplace. It will help you to understand why you do what you do; how to make the most of what "you've got;" how to find the right job fit for your innate preferences; how to act in ways contrary to your "nature;" and how to best influence the behavior of your employees and co-workers.
