Book Description

Unfortunately, most of us have little sense of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by our parents, by our teachers, by our managers and by psychology's fascination with the origin of disease, we become experts in our weaknesses and spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, while our strengths lie dormant and neglected.

Marcus Buckingham, co-author of the international bestseller, First, Break All the Rules, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Centre, have created a revolutionary programme to help readers identify their talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy consistent, near-perfect performance. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based StrengthsFinder(r) Profile, the product of a 25-year, multi-million pound effort to identify the most prevalent human strengths. The programme introduces 34 dominant "themes" with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. In developing this programme, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with over two million individuals to help you learn how to focus and perfect these themes.

So how does it work? Each book contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder(r) Profile on the Internet. This Web-based interview analyses your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your five most powerful themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes--such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic, or Strategic--you lead with, the book will show you how to leverage them for powerful results at three levels: for your own development, for your success as a manager, and for the success of the organisation.

With accessible and profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder(r) at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the most ground-breaking and useful business books ever written.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Marcus Buckingham and Donald O Clifton's Now, Discover Your Strengths proposes a unique approach to managing personnel: focus on enhancing people's strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses. Effectively managing personnel--as well as one's own behaviour--is an extraordinarily complex task that, not surprisingly, has been the subject of countless books touting what each claims is the true path to success. Following up on the coauthors' popular previous book, First, Break All the Rules, it fully describes 34 positive personality themes the two have formulated (such as Achiever, Developer, Learner, and Maximiser) and explains how to build a "strengths-based organisation" by capitalising on the fact that such traits are already present among those within it.

Most original and potentially most revealing, however, is a Web-based interactive component that allows readers to complete a questionnaire developed by the Gallup Organisation and instantly discover their own top five inborn talents. This device provides a personalised window into the authors' management philosophy which, coupled with subsequent advice, places their suggestions into the kind of practical context that's missing from most similar tomes. "You can't lead a strengths revolution if you don't know how to find, name and develop your own," write Buckingham and Clifton. Their book encourages such introspection while providing knowledgeable guidance for applying its lessons.
