Popis:	The writers conducted a study of performance measures among engineers and professionals in other fields. They discovered that performance declined with increasing age after age 35. However, some older engineers continued as high performers throughout their careers. From this study emerged the concept of four stages of career development and the characteristics of the high-performing professionals in each stage. Those who successfully move fro one stage to the next pass through a novation — a renegotiation of obligations and expectations with those around them. Understanding what is expected at each stage — and how novations proceed — can greatly increase individual performance and ones’ value to the organization, thereby increasing opportunities for success and a valued career.
