Good for staff bonding
I used the review of this book with my staff of seven. I purchased a book for each of them and had them take the on-line survey ahead of time. Then, they each brought their individual results to the retreat which led to a good discussion. I recommend this type of activity for work groups. It helped us understand each other's strengths and how to work together more effectively.Thanks Strengths Finder
StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup's Now, Discover Your Strengths This book was recommended from John Maxwell's web site. I was preparing to interview for a new position at work and, as you know, one of the questions is some form of "what are your strenghts and what are your weaknesses?" This book not only helped me understand what my strengths were, but it helped me prepare for the interview! I recommended the book to all our management staff at work.One of the best books of the year
I finally got around to reading Strengths Finder 2.0 and I waited far too long. It's a great book that taught me a lot about myself. Definitely one of the top books I've read this year, so good I liked it almost as much as my favorite Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results.Great book!
I am the manager of a large Salon/Day Spa and we purchased a copy of this book for each of our employees. It is helping us learn how to manage each person based on their personality strengths rather than their weaknesses. They are also having a great time learning about each other in a different way. We all have a better understanding of each other. I would highly recommend this book.A little more knowledge
People often know enough information to draw a proper conclusion, but haven't made the proper connections. When they get the conclusion from someone else, they often get a reaction like "duh! I knew that already; I just never got it until you just said it." This book will give you that reaction. It will identify the top 5 personal paradigms you work with, and gives you strategies and tactics that will help you feature them more productively in your life. You might ask "is that it?" A common question according to the book, but focusing on more than the top five is spreading yourself too thin, as is any focus on avoidance of what doesn't work for you. Aside from my own "duh" factor and curiosity, I felt this book was extremely good at what it does.Keyword : textbook
