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."
• How to use the four telltale signs to identify your
strengths.
• The simple steps you can take each week to push your time
at work toward those activities that strengthen you and
away from those that don't.
• How to talk to your boss and your colleagues about your
strengths without sounding like you're bragging and about
your weaknesses without sounding like you're whining.
• The fifteen-minute weekly ritual that will keep you on
your strengths path your entire career. 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.
