编辑推荐From AudioFileIts refreshing to hear the British-born author read his latest book on how to become more happily productive at work. An authentic speaker with an inviting and natural voice, he sounds immensely comfortable with his writing, which is often poetic but never melodramatic. Dont worry about your weaknesses, he says. Put all your energy into clarifying your strengths, freeing them from restrictions, speaking up about them, and developing strong work habits. This potent lesson on developing ones strongest traits and making them relevant at work is delivered in the authors consistently caring voice. The program refers to PDF files and a code one can use for online personal testing, but these were not found in the audio package, a library case.

From Booklist Buckingham, an authority on workplace issues, provides a road map for managers to learn for themselves and then teach their employees how to approach their work by emphasizing their strengths rather than weaknesses. He offers a six-step plan for six weeks of reading and habit-forming action for discerning strengths, along with optional tools to enhance the process such as online questions for measuring strengths and downloaded films (two of which are free). The steps of his plan are belief that the best way to compete is capitalizing on your strengths, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, volunteering your strengths at work, lessening the impact of your weaknesses on your team, effectively communicating the value of your strengths while limiting work utilizing weaknesses, and building habits and pushing activities that play to strength. Although everyone will not agree with all the elements of Buckingham's approach, he offers valuable insight into maximizing employees' strengths rather than the more common focus on weaknesses and failure.
