Product Description

From the coauthor of 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 with his first two blockbusters. Now, he 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. Go Put Your Strengths to Work will reveal the hidden dimensions of your strengths through a six-step, six-week experience that will tell you:

• 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 how to cut out those that don't.

• How to talk to your boss and your colleagues about your strengths without sounding like you're bragging, and your weaknesses without sounding like you're whining.

• The fifteen-minute weekly ritual that will keep you on your strengths path for your entire career.

As part of the program you'll take an online Strength Engagement Track, a powerful gauge to measure the level of engagement of your or your team's strengths. Go Put Your Strengths to Work will open up exciting uncharted territory for you and your organization. Join the strengths movement, and thrive.

5 out of 5 stars Great resource for your toolbox!   July 11, 2008
This is an excellent book by Marcus Buckingham! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the case study he uses throughout the book really reinforces all of the key concepts. The journal pages in the back of the book (or you can download them off his site) are helpful in assisting you to identify which work activities strengthen you and which work activities weaken you. He shows, through case examples, how to minimize the activities that weaken you so that you spend most of your time on work where your strengths shine.


5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff   June 28, 2008
I like the condition of the book delivered to me, it was no hype just real good quality. Thanks for displaying integrity without grity,lol.



5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE RESOURCE   June 15, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Marcus Buckingham is brilliant! His research-profound! As a professional workplace trainer, I use this book and insist that my clients purchase copies for their management teams before I conduct their trainings. Yesterday's "Human Resources" is today's "Talent Management" and employment engagement! Another must-have is the previous book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham.


2 out of 5 stars The sequel game   June 14, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Nutshell review - This book is a "6 step guide" on how to apply your strengths in work and life. But actually it's a just spin-off to milk the concept written in "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by the same author. Bottom line message = build and work on your strengths, not your weaknesses.


1 out of 5 stars RIP-OFF ARTIST   June 13, 2008
 3 out of 5 found this review helpful

I felt so ripped off--I got the impression from Buckingham's careful but indirect wording to the reader that you would be able to take the lauded Strengthsfinder test after buying his book and getting the secret code---NOT SO. He very manipulatively avoids telling you that you will now need to buy yet ANOTHER book by ANOTHER author to get that guy's secret code for you to finally get the Strengthsfinder. Buckingham gives you access to some lame thing called the Strengths engagement track. And it gets worse, folks, after you buy the OTHER book to take Strengthsfinder test, you find out that if your spouse wants to take the test? Well, screw him, he has to go buy ANOTHER copy of the same book to get another secret code. These guys sure know how to milk you for all they can get. There are plenty of complaints from readers on the website about this crap--ok, charge a nominal fee for the spouse test--but go buy another copy of the same book for the same household??! I am even mad at Oprah for her endorsement of Buckingham without researching this grab for money more thoroughly and then all of them FULLY and OPENLY and FRANKLY let people know what the now hidden costs are so we know before we invest in the first book and get suckered into buying more and more and more. . . There is some good stuff in the book but I am so disgusted by the unethical set up to reap excessive profits that I am done with it. I'll go somewhere else.
