StrengthsFinder 2.0

Find your top strengths and build your life around them.

by Tom Rath

An upgrade of Gallup's strengths assessment, the book pairs a short read with an online code that unlocks the CliftonStrengths test. After taking it, readers receive their top five of 34 talent themes along with personalized action ideas. The core message is that you grow most by investing in your strengths rather than fixing weaknesses.

Founders need self-awareness about where they add the most value and where to delegate or hire. The assessment gives a quick, shared vocabulary for talents that helps founders build complementary teams instead of cloning themselves.
