No Pegs, No Holes – A Playbook for Finding and Managing Elite Talent

LINCOLN, Neb. - May 1, 2018 - PRLog -- Organizations struggle to find the best person for each job, identify the best in each person and create the best workplace for everyone. A new book from executive consultant and Workforce Science Associates co-founder Bill Erickson, No Pegs, No Holes – The Psychology of Elite Performance, serves as a playbook for elite workforce performance.

When it comes to building a truly great workforce, psychology has been, at best, inadequate. Too many behavioral experts, and too much conventional wisdom about human behavior, make us worse at managing people. No Pegs, No Holes is based on Erickson's 40 years of experience in education and human behavior and offers practical ways to gain an unmatched competitive advantage for individuals, teams and the entire organization.

"Erickson is a thought leader in how to identify and nurture the talents of people to maximize their performance," said Billy Beane, executive vice president of baseball operations for the Oakland Athletics.

Erickson has played a key role in building and studying great companies. After 15 years as an executive vice president of the Gallup Organization, he was a founder of Human Resource Innovations, which later became Kenexa. Before it was acquired by IBM in 2012, Kenexa had become one of the largest providers of employee research. Erickson serves as a founding member of Workforce Science Associates and continues to consult and educate workforce professionals and business executives through a series of in-person and digital education platforms. Erickson served as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors at Kenexa.
