Career Anchors
Career anchors
Eight long-term career drivers (Schein).
Definition
Schein's eight anchors — technical/functional, general managerial, autonomy, security, entrepreneurial creativity, service, pure challenge, lifestyle — describe what a person will not give up in a career.
Example
An autonomy-anchored hire placed in a highly procedural role is a turnover-risk flag.
