CareerLeader, LLP was formed as a professional
consulting partnership in 1984 by James Waldroop and Timothy Butler,
two business and career psychologists then at the Harvard Business
School. Dr. Butler is now the Director
of Career Services at Harvard Business School, while Dr. Waldroop
left Harvard in 2000 to dedicate his time to CareerLeader, LLP.
CareerLeader, LLP focuses its work on two
areas of interface between psychology and business: career assessment
and direction, and individual management development (executive
coaching). CareerLeader professionals are experts in psychological
assessment as it applies to the business world, and are responsible
for the development of the Business Career Interest Inventory, the
Management and Professional Reward Profile and the Management and
Professional Ability Profile, and the Internet-based interactive
career assessment programs CareerLeader®
(available via the Internet since 1998), CareerLeader-College™
(launched in 2002), and TalentRetainer™.
CareerLeader® and CareerLeader-College™ are currently used by over 400 universities and corporations around the world.
CareerLeader has worked with a wide range
of corporate concerns in both the manufacturing and service sectors,
from Fortune 50 corporations to smaller high-growth firms. The firm
is active in research into the psychological underpinnings of career
satisfaction and success, with a comprehensive data base of business
professionals. Drs. Waldroop and Butler are the authors of The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back: Overcoming the Behavior Patterns That Keep You From Getting
Ahead (Doubleday, 2000) and Discovering
Your Career in Business (Addison-Wesley, 1997). They are
