Over the past six months I have been developing a new measurement scale for executive developmental feedback. I was looking for the biggest bang for the buck, something that would be easy to use, yet powerful. I wanted something that could really make a difference for people. I think I have found it, in the beliefs and behaviors found in Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, Optimism, or HERO for short.

It's probally, no big surprize to you that people who have developed this factor within themselves are happier, more successful, more entrepreneurial, have stronger more positive interpersonal relationships, and here's the "real kicker" they also live longer. In fact, up to 20% longer than those who score lower.

The really good news is that these factors are not innate, like many aspects of personality. Instead they are are learned,  representing developmental "states" that one can change, unlike most traits. Since there are so many potential benefits I want to offer members of HR.com the opportunity to get free developmental feedback on our new HERO™ Profile. Just go to our site www.iappinc.org to sign up and take the test. It's only 24 questions and free! I will send you a confidential feedback report in a few days after you complete the test. Please be aware this is for your personal development only. 

It's worth your time to check out and in my next blog post I share some of our research findings in more detail. This will be more interesting if you have your scores to review. Let me know what you think, all feedback is appreciated!
