Recommendation

Marcus Buckingham is passionate about helping you identify your unique strengths and unleash their power. As you read and work your way through the program in this book, you will become convinced that growing through your strengths is the ticket to your future happiness, effectiveness and success. He refutes the approach of improvement by fixing mistakes as a dead end that cannot help you discover how you can be exceptional. The book constantly refers you to its associated Web site for materials that will help you work through the exercises. Buckingham wants you to act rather than just read a theoretical tract. Nothing presented in this book will help you without action and implementation. However, if you take up the challenge, you will become empowered as you take charge of your work through your strengths. getAbstract recommends this book because it contains just a few simple ideas that could change your life.

Take-Aways

  • If you focus on fixing mistakes, you will not learn how to become excellent.
  • Use “positive deviance” to measure how your team performs.
  • Negative thoughts can block your ability to perform.

    It was a good summary on how best to think about priority of work, who owns the work, and whether or not the work distributed to the team should be re-distributed based on individual team members strengths
