His summary of the first six dimensions brings together a range of interactions that bestride the personal, psychological, spiritual and practical influences on individual choice. He also considers organizational contexts through a coterie of institutional and contextual descriptions. A final chapter takes a look at the additional dimension of careers for Africans in the Diaspora.This book will be useful as a guide to young people and employees considering their career options and what it means to be a part of an organization. Banjo’s WYPICE Chart offers both individual and group insights and interactions. Trainers, coaches, career advisers and managers carrying out staff development activities and managing employee performance may also find it an essential guide.
