The Think Track Model is the cornerstone of the entire Think Track collection of books. The concept of a cornerstone, a principal stone placed at the corner of a building, is used to symbolize strength, foundation and unity. The model provides a major assist in making critical career, job search, hiring and workplace performance decisions.
The Think Track Model (TTM), featured in Measuring Job Satisfaction, helps users quickly
determine their level of job satisfaction by focusing on the three most essential elements
comprising job satisfaction: Career, Finance and Locale. It helps create and plot a desired course
of action by fine-tuning perceptions, defining expectations and exploring options.
The TTM is an easy-to-use strategic model that embodies systems thinking and problem-solving
methods based on practical experience and knowledge. It makes making tough decisions easier,
decisions that will, in large part, determine your future level of job satisfaction.
The TTM reduces complex issues into more simplified and manageable elements, fosters
collaboration and provides a way to monitor results. The model is like a thermometer – it helps
measure your perceptions and tells you how close you are to achieving your desired goals at any
point in time. The model serves as an effective and organized way to integrate a large amount of
data and accelerates the speed at which that data can be examined, integrated and understood.
The TTM stimulates introspection, balances rational and emotional thinking and promotes
focused and meaningful dialogue. It incorporates a language of numbers and colors to pinpoint
the satisfaction level of individuals and teams. The model helps to understand the point of view
of others more clearly.
