Synopsis

DO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST EVERY DAY?
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

From the Inside Flap

In 1998, the Father of Strengths Psychology, Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D. (1924-2003), along with Tom Rath and a team of scientists at The Gallup Organization, created the online StrengthsFinder assessment. In 2001, they included the first edition of StrengthsFinder with the bestseller Now, Discover Your Strengths. In 2004, the assessment's name was formally changed to "Clifton StrengthsFinder" in honor of its chief designer.

In 2007, building on the initial assessment and language from StrengthsFinder 1.0, Rath and Gallup scientists released a new edition of the assessment, program, and website, dubbed "StrengthsFinder 2.0." Rooted in more than 40 years of research, this assessment has helped millions discover and develop their natural talents.

Enjoyed it May 20, 2009
Reviewer: Sandra Grant from New York  
As a professional Human Resource developer, I have designed and implemented curriculum for the development of leaders, supervisors, managers, and executives. They are aware they have talents, but still encounter a variety of situations that challenge them in their use of these talents. In particular, talented people rarely have coworkers who provide candid feedback on their perceptions of these talents. If they do comment, it is typically in the heat of anger or a dash of praise (far from an honest and objective evaluation for formative purposes). In fact, most supervisors do not solicit nor value subordinate evaluations. Therein lies the value of StrengthsFinder 2.0. It allows the individual taking the test to objectively be evaluated via the assessment. Most people I've given the test to say that it teaches them a lot about themselves and (perhaps even more importantly) provides a helpful reminder of the unique strengths they possess that they should lean into each and every day.

There is another book that I now provide in trainings alongside the StrengthsFinder. It was recommended here in a review of the StrengthsFinder. It's called The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book and the EQ skills complement strengths psychology very well. Essentially, your strengths are what you can't change, and the emotional intelligence skills are the soft skills that you can. Since both books come with tests you not only learn the concepts, but also where you stand today.

Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!

What are the strengths YOU can rely on? May 20, 2009
Reviewer: Colin Battle from USA  
This book starts with a quote, that says a lot:

"Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?"
-- Benjamin Franklin

Franklin's quote represents the overarching theme of StrengthsFinder 2.0 This "book" is really a test that helps you identify your top five strengths from 34 possibilities, in the hope that you can have the opportunity to do what you do best every day.

Chances are, you don't. For most people, our natural talents go untapped, especially at work. Our society has taught us to focus on fixing our shortcomings, rather than developing our strengths. To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of the StrengthsFinder in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists.

In StrengthsFinder 2.0 Gallup unveils a new and improved version of its popular assessment. While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades. It's loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, and helps you to understand those around you who have strengths and tendencies that are different from your own.

My other favorite book that includes an online test and has been a huge help to me at work and at home is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book.

Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!
