Strengths Based Leadership: Great Leaders, Teams, and Why People Follow

Really interesting and well worth reading or listening to on Audible

I enjoyed this. There was some helpful tips. I found the early and latter chapters particularly useful. It served and my airport read for a couple of trips.

An interesting and thought-provoking read. I'd recommend the book itself, but I'm not entirely convinced by the online test - of the top three strengths it claimed for me, two made sense and one was totally mystifying - absolutely not an attribute that I think I am strong on (or at least nowhere near as strong as some of the others that it didn't pick). I speculate that too many of my answers were neutral (which was how I answered if I really couldn't pick one of the two options provided over the other). However, there is no chance to go back and retake the test in order to find out. If this is the case, it needs better instructions up front as to how to deal with questions where you agree equally with both. And the report it provides based on the test is no more illuminating than reading the book. So, read the book, consider what your strengths are & how best to use them, but don't expect too much more enlightenment from the online test.

Recommended by my boss, and enables you to focus on what you are good at rather than improving your weaknesses. A pleasant change to management books!

Book arrived as per time and as described; will buy from the seller again.

I am a great fan of this book and the Positive Psychology School of thought generally. This book helps create a corportate lexicon that allows people to accept and encourage others Strengths - allowing people to flourish and develop to reach their potentiol. I have found it a really helpful philosophy for my Senior Team.

This book was recommend reading through my MBA and the book did not disappoint. I've always felt that as part of the annual personal development process and mt career it was important to improve ones weaknesses. This books puts that theory in perspective by highlighting that it is about understanding your strenghts and using them as they give you your personal energy, great read.

Helps focus you

Tom Rath and Barry Conchie's 'Strengths Based Leadership' is a transformative book that offers profound insights into leadership and team dynamics. This book builds on the strengths-based approach popularized by Gallup, focusing on identifying and leveraging individuals' strengths to drive leadership success. What sets this book apart is its emphasis on the unique qualities that make great leaders, rather than trying to fix weaknesses. Rath and Conchie provide compelling research and real-world examples to illustrate how leaders can maximize their own strengths and those of their team members to achieve exceptional results. I found the concept of 'StrengthsFinder' particularly enlightening; it helps readers discover their top strengths and understand how to apply them effectively in leadership roles. The book is well-organized, with practical advice and actionable strategies that leaders can implement immediately. Whether you're a new leader looking to understand your leadership style or a seasoned executive seeking to enhance team performance, 'Strengths Based Leadership' offers valuable insights and tools to inspire and empower. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in developing a strengths-based approach to leadership."This review highlights the book's strengths-based approach to leadership, practical insights backed by research, clarity in presentation, and its potential to transform leadership styles and team dynamics, making it essential reading for anyone in a leadership position or aspiring to lead effectively.

This book does come with access code. Please make sure to check the author...I actually bought the wrong version. The one I needed was written by Barry Conchie and Tom Rath but both book covers look very similar! I didn't deduct the overall rating because it was my fault for not double checking.

This book was recommended to me by one of my professors. It changed my perspective on my personality and my skills. This book is a MUST read to anyone who is a manager or a leader or aspiring to be one
