Chances are, you don't. All too often, our natural talents go untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths. To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder helped millions to discover their top five talents. In its latest national bestseller, StrengthsFinder 2.0, Gallup unveils the new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more (see below for details). While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades. Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, this new book and accompanying website will change the way you look at yourself -- and the world around you -- forever. AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN THE NEW & UPGRADED EDITION OF STRENGTHSFINDER 2.0 (using the unique access code included with each book) * A new and upgraded edition of the StrengthsFinder assessment * A personalized Strengths Discovery and Action-Planning Guide for applying your strengths in the next week, month, and year * A more customized version of your top five theme report * 50 Ideas for Action (10 strategies for building on each of your top five themes) * The more user-friendly StrengthsFinder 2.0 companion website, with a strengths community area, library of downloadable discussion guides and activities, a strengths screensaver, and a program for creating display cards of your top five themes Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Extremely InsightfulThe StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment helped me understand myself better. I was so impressed with how this knowledge empowered me I bought the book for all of my family members so they could understand their strengths. The knowledge of our strengths helped our family communicate more effectively and gave guidance to each of us to perform our daily responsibilities more effectively. Knowledge is power, this kind of knowledge about yourself can be used in your personal life as well as your profession. ... Read More Rating: - Interesting readI didn't learn a whole lot about myself, but did learn more about others. It's interesting to read how differently people process information. Rating: - StrengthsFinder 2.0I found the test helpful in that is basically confirmed what I knew about my strengths -- but good to have confirmation from outside source. Book and site both helpful. Rating: - Awsome development toolI found it very informative and accurate with some creative ways to look at and use the findings of the survey included with the book. I recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their skills, build a strong team, or even figure out what avenue of education or career to pursue. It's also fun to talk about over cocktails with friends and colleagues. The information and the book have become great networking and self marketing tools. Rating: - Additional InfoThis is a wonderful addition to the original text. After spending 100's of hours working with the Gallup process and teaching Now Discover Your Strengths in a graduate level course, this book really brings it home for the reader. The assessments outline in a more detailed way how to use the Talents and Strengths and the additional information about who we really are as individuals is great. |
