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 pathology, we become experts in our weaknesses and
spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, while our
strengths lie dormant and neglected.
Marcus Buckingham,
coauthor of the national bestseller First, Break All the
Rules, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup
International Research & Education Center, have created a
revolutionary program 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® Profile, the product of a
25-year, multimillion-dollar effort to identify the most
prevalent human strengths. The program 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 program, Gallup has
conducted psychological profiles with more than two million
individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect
these themes.
So how does it work? This book contains a
unique identification number that allows you access to the
StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. This Web-based
interview analyzes your instinctive reactions and
immediately presents you with your five most powerful
signature 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 your organization.
With accessible and
profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and
with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder at
its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the
most groundbreaking and useful business books ever
written.
Please note that the code for the Online
Strengths Finder Test is found on the inside of the dust
jacket.
