When to Use This Tool
A pivoter who needs to read which career anchors are live and which are dormant before scoping the pivot
A mid-career client whose career anchors have shifted over the last 3-5 years without being named
A coach who wants to use Schein's anchors without administering them as a typology assessment
How to Introduce This Tool Plus

Schein's anchors get most useful when you stop asking which one you are and start asking which one is pulling you right now and which one used to but no longer does. The sort is structured around that question.
