By Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton

The importance of this book is its stress oI concentrating on peoples strengths. The book should be required reading for any manager who is really concerned with retaining and developing his or her best people. This, and only this, will be the major differentiator for organisations in the future.

Unfortunately, most of us have little se6e of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead guided by our teachers, parents and managers we become experts in our weaknesses and spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, whilst our strengths lie dormant and neglected.
International bestselling author Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Centre, have created a revolutionary programme to help readers identify their talents, build them into strengths and enjoy consistent, near perfect performance. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based Strengths Finder Profile. This unique programme introduces 34 dominant themes that when combined, can provide an insight into the readers core abilities and
how they can be translated into personal and career success.
