Gaining New Strengths

February 15, 2007 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Be strong. Get the two new strength based leadership resources from Marcus Buckingham and Tom Rath.

On March 6th., Marcus Buckingham is coming out with Go Put Your Strengths to Work: 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance

This will include information on:

Why your strengths aren’t “what you are good at” and your weaknesses aren’t “what you are bad at.”

Why your strengths aren’t “what you are good at” and your weaknesses aren’t “what you are bad at.”

How to use the four telltale signs to identify your strengths.

The simple steps you can take each week to skew your time at work toward those activities that strengthen you, and how to manage around those that weaken you.

How to talk to your boss and your colleagues about your strengths without sounding like you’re bragging.

The fifteen-minute weekly ritual that will keep you on your strengths path your entire career.

Tom Rath from Gallup has just released: StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup’s Now, Discover Your Strengths. Visit Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0 to learn more about this new version. Here is a list of some of what’s new for the StrengthsFinder 2.0:

Strengths discovery activity that helps you think about how your talents, investment, experience, skills, and knowledge work together to build strengths

These books are two new exciting resources for all of us to increase our awareness and application of strengths. I believe this is a very strong start to 2007 and gives increased impetus to the strength movement that is sweeping though our workplaces.
