From the author of the long-running number 1 bestseller
"StrengthsFinder 2.0" comes a landmark study of great leaders,
teams, and the reasons why people follow. Nearly a decade ago,
Gallup unveiled the results of a landmark 30-year research project
that ignited a global conversation on the topic of strengths. More
than 3 million people have since taken Gallup''s StrengthsFinder
assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic,
including the number 1 international bestseller "StrengthsFinder
2.0." In recent years, while continuing to learn more about
strengths, Gallup scientists have also been poring over decades of
data on the topic of leadership. They surveyed a million work
teams, conducted more than 50,000 in-depth interviews with leaders,
and even interviewed 20,000 followers around the world to ask
exactly why they followed the most important leader in their
life.In "Strengths Based Leadership", bestselling author Tom Rath
and renowned leadership consultant Barry Conchie reveal the results
of this research. Based on their discoveries, the book identifies
three keys to being a more effective leader: knowing your
strengths, getting the right talents on your team, and meeting the
four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership.As you
read "Strengths Based Leadership", you''ll hear firsthand accounts
from some of the most successful organizational leaders in recent
history as they discuss how their unique talents have driven their
success. To help you apply your own talents, you''ll have the
opportunity to take a special version of "Gallup''s StrengthsFinder"
that will provide you with specific strategies for leading with
each of your Top 5 talents. The new version of the assessment will
also enable you to plot the talents of your team based on the four
domains of leadership talent revealed in the book. Loaded with
novel research, stories, and actionable ideas, "Strengths Based
Leadership" will give you a new roadmap for leading people toward a
better future.
