Some resonate more than others, but none as well as this next step. Buckingham shares a straightforward method for understanding and leveraging personal strengths. They truly are "personal" because he leads the reader to determine exactly how, when, and with whom a general ability becomes a strength. For example, "analyzing data," isn't a strength. What is? "I feel strong when I analyze data about human performance and discover relevant insights." Buckingham shows how using strengths actually makes a person stronger. It's a great next step and one I recommend to anyone looking to reach their full potential.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743261674, Hardcover)Beginning with the million-copy bestsellers First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths, Marcus Buckingham jump-started the strengths movement that is now sweeping the work world, from business to government to education. Now that the movement is in full swing, Buckingham's new book answers the ultimate question: How can you actually apply your strengths for maximum success at work?Research data show that most people do not come close to making full use of their assets at work -- in fact, only 17 percent of the workforce believe they use all of their strengths on the job. Go Put Your Strengths to Work aims to change that through a six-step, six-week experience that will reveal the hidden dimensions of your strengths. Buckingham shows you how to seize control of your assets and rewrite your job description under the nose of your boss. You will learn: • Why your strengths aren't "what you are good at" and your weaknesses aren't "what you are bad at." With structured exercises that will become part of your regular workweek and proven tactics from people who have successfully applied the book's lessons, Go Put Your Strengths to Work will arm you with a radically different approach to your work life. As part of the book's program you'll take an online Strengths Engagement Track, a focused and powerful gauge that has proven to be the best way to measure the level of engagement of your strengths or your team's strengths. You can also download the first two segments of the renowned companion film series Trombone Player Wanted. Go Put Your Strengths to Work will open up exciting uncharted territory for you and your organization. Join the strengths movement and thrive.
