Just read Marcus Buckingham's latest book "The Truth About You" and watched the associated video's. He's taken 2 decades of interviewing leaders on behalf of Gallup.com, combined with research from his previous 4 books and synthesised the information into this simple DVD-Book kit.
This kit is powerful for 2 reasons. Firstly the message of 'Playing to Strengths' is backed up with robust Gallup.com data and secondly it is delivered with such passion and simplicity, that even the most disengaged employee or 'old school' manager couldn't help but follow Buckingham's advice. I've been coaching others to focus on their strengths for years, but have not found a book that delivers the message as clearly as this book does.
Check out the links below, read the book, get your team to read it and tell me about your thoughts and successes.
