Discovering Your Strengths.

I'm reading a really interesting book by Marcus Buckingham & Donald Clifton, Ph.D., entitled "Now, Discover Your Strengths."

Have you ever been asked about your strengths and your weaknesses? I've heard a lot of people advise you to work on your weakness upon discovering them. The authors have done much research on this subject and advise to focus on your strengths, while recognizing your weaknesses and how you can compensate for those weaknesses by enhancing your strengths.

One of the benefits of buying the book is that it directs you to a strength profile that helps you discover your strengths. Boy, talk about insightful.

I'll talk about what I discovered about my strengths in another blog. Go get this book!

"Life is too short to perfect your weaknesses" is what I always say! Marcus and I agree. He has great books.

This is the same logic that good managers use when deciding to improve their teams. If you spend your energy improving your best performers by 10% instead of improving your worst performers by 10%, the incremental gain is far greater!

sounds like a positive path...I'll see if I can pick up a copy.

Sounds like a great book especially for those of us that may feel overwhelmed on how we should market ourselves.
