The Revolutionary Gallup Program That Shows You How to Develop Your Unique Talents and Strengths

Stop fixing weaknesses and start building on your talents.

by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton

The original Gallup strengths book introduces the idea that real growth comes from developing innate talents into strengths rather than patching weaknesses. It includes access to the StrengthsFinder assessment, which reveals a reader's dominant themes among 34 talents. The book then guides individuals and managers on how to apply those strengths at work.
