 Now, Discover Your Strengths = Your Greatest Talents at Work June 7, 2008
Brilliant. Readable. Engaging. Empowering.
I was originally introduced to this work through Kristine Gunn of www.HighVelocityTraining.com.
It immediately provided hope that my inherent ideas about how to work with people to help them perform (and internally do the same) could be applied today.
An inspiring work that truly helps you find the path to your own inherent success traits. A phenomenal book, and the integrated online test and report are vital to helping you return to center when you find yourself in the weeds, wondering why you're working so hard and not having fun.
To your greatest success and most fulfilling work.

Now, Discover Your Strengths June 6, 2008
Easy read. Very positive. Good book for team building, but the downside is that you MUST buy a book for each individual person so that they can take the on-line test.
 A self help book that didn't help me at all May 28, 2008
The title implies that it will help YOU discover and use YOUR strengths, but it is actually more of a management/hiring book- it helps you place other people to use THEIR strengths effectively. Since I am in sales, (and only have one assistant who doesn't need much managing) it wasn't much of a help. The personality test wasn't even helpful. The book recommends that you use it to "hone your strengths" and then it doesn't tell you how to go about doing that. If I were managing 20 or so employees and had to make a lot of hiring decisions it might have been helpful- it did discuss how to match people with different talents to appropriate jobs. Since I am not- it was a total waste of time and money.
A Baseline Tool to Personal Development - Now Discover Your Strengths May 27, 2008
An excellent leadership tool for personal development - The online evaluation allows you to identify your five top strengths. I found this to be a great tool to establish a baseline of strengths for personal management. I still use it today - five stars. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing in personal growth: it's better in some ways than Myers Briggs(tm) and Strong Interest Inventory(tm). Talent identification is important for each of us and for your team: you can complete a questionnaire developed by the Gallup Organization. I have purchased both the audio and the book which I have shared with my family and friends. Frank Sowin
A great introspective guide May 25, 2008
Combined with the access to the on-line test, this book can help provide insights both to yourself and others. The first half of the book is very interesting and provides a solid foundation for you to understand some basics about human development. The test is well done and easy to move through. The test results and the explanation of the strengths in the book can really change the way you see yourself.
