 Benjamin Franklin was wrong... July 28, 2008
What I like about this new offering from Marcus Buckingham is that it pushes the reader to action...and not just a lofty list of "to do's" but action steps that are quickly apprehended and quickly produce results.
Benjamin Franklin said the definition of insanity "is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." I find that to be more the definition of humanity-we strive to change but somehow find ourselves repeatedly in similar conundrums. (To note, I think the definition of insanity is attaching a key to a kite and flying it during a lightning storm!)
The whole strengths series (this is the third book) by Buckingham gives great instruction on leveraging strengths...and when we (enevitably) get in the same situations we CAN expect different results.
This would be a great series for the human resources managers and bosses of the world. Don't we all wish our boss would focus on our strengths!
Great resource for your toolbox! July 11, 2008
This is an excellent book by Marcus Buckingham! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the case study he uses throughout the book really reinforces all of the key concepts. The journal pages in the back of the book (or you can download them off his site) are helpful in assisting you to identify which work activities strengthen you and which work activities weaken you. He shows, through case examples, how to minimize the activities that weaken you so that you spend most of your time on work where your strengths shine.

Marcus Buckingham is brilliant! His research-profound! As a professional workplace trainer, I use this book and insist that my clients purchase copies for their management teams before I conduct their trainings. Yesterday's "Human Resources" is today's "Talent Management" and employment engagement! Another must-have is the previous book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham.
 The sequel game June 14, 2008

Nutshell review - This book is a "6 step guide" on how to apply your strengths in work and life. But actually it's a just spin-off to milk the concept written in "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by the same author. Bottom line message = build and work on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
