Now, Discover Your Strengths

Summary

Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of the best-selling First, Break All the Rules (T1009), and Donald O. Clifton present Now, Discover Your Strengths. This exceptional work challenges listeners to break away from traditional methods of thinking about how people utilize their talents. Buckingham and Clifton base their work on surveys of over two million working people. They discovered that only about 20 percent of people, worldwide, feel their strengths are being used to their full potential on the job. The authors believe this is attributable to the focus society places on personal weaknesses. Instead of fixing their negatives, Buckingham says that accentuating their positives will help maximize everyone's abilities and efficiency. A valuable resource for both the individual and the organization, Now, Discover Your Strengths gives listeners new ways to think about training and working. This audiobook also contains a special code so that each listener can take the Gallup survey online and discover their own top five strengths.
