Strengths-Based Leadership
Strengths-Based Leadership by Tom Rath & Barry Conchie.
Playing to your strengths has many advantages, with the first in my mind being it definitely more fun! And in fact, trying to be good at everything makes you least effective. Continuing in the footsteps of Now, Discover Your Strengths and StrengthsFinder 2.0, this book looks at Leaders, Teams and Followers. All leaders have strengths, but not all the same strength. What they are good at is assembling a team that have all the necessary strengths covered. With the book comes a code for an assessment to discover your strengths. After you take the assessment, if you’d send me an email with some of your strengths, I’d be curious to know what my audience is strong at.
I talk with Barry about the foundation laid in the previous books, how leaders are not exceptional at everything, what a team needs to be good at and more. More on the book at Gallup.com. Buy it at Amazon.com
