Book Review: Now, Discover Your Strengths > Rexroad.com

I read this book by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman on a recent plane ride.

I loved this book. It is more than a book actually. One of the things included is a code within the jacket cover to sign on to a website and answer some questions to help you think about your strengths and what they really are. They then e-mail you an assessment of your strengths.

This book had such an impact on me that I bought a second copy for one of my employees to read.

What I liked about the perspective of this book is that it gave some real life managerial challenges and what happened when techniques were applied. The authors both work for The Gallup Organization. They based their observations on thousands and thousands of interviews over a long period ot time.

Excellent book. Quick read. It also makes you think about the things you do well - and why.

Right now I am reading First, Break All The Rules by the same authors.

Uh, hem..eh...you bought it for ALL your employees?

It says "one of my employees". One that can read.

And the comment was a hint that perhaps you spelled a word incorrectly--again--and meant to write "All" rather than "one." BTW: it is one "who" can read.
