More than 3 million people have since taken Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic, including the #1 international bestseller <i>StrengthsFinder 2.0</i>. <P> In recent years, while continuing to learn more about strengths, Gallup scientists have also been examining decades of data on the topic of leadership. They studied more than 1 million work teams, conducted more than 20,000 in-depth interviews with leaders, and even interviewed more than 10,000 followers around the world to ask exactly why they followed the most important leader in their life. <P> In <i>Strengths Based Leadership</i>, #1 <i>New York Times</i> 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 and investing in others' strengths, getting people with the right strengths on your team, and understanding and meeting the four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership.<P> As you read <i>Strengths Based Leadership</i>, you'll hear firsthand accounts from some of the most successful organizational leaders in recent history, from the founder of Teach For America to the president of The Ritz-Carlton, as they discuss how their unique strengths have driven their success. Filled with novel research and actionable ideas, <i>Strengths Based Leadership</i> will give you a new road map for leading people toward a better future. 6147075 6 1 2009 Strengths-Based Leadership total:54|5:14|4:26|3:13|2:1|1:0| 54 215 115 17 2 0 false true Mon Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 17:41:21 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 17:53:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 17:34:12 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 20:23:25 -0800 2009 Now, Discover Your Strengths, StrengthsFinder 2.0 A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup's Now, Discover Your Strengths) but has a slightly different twist on the info.
