According to a Gallup poll that surveyed over 1.7 million employees globally, only twenty percent (20%) reported that their strengths are at play every day in their work. That’s a rather startling percentage when you think about it. Eighty percent (80%) of those polled do not feel that their strengths are being utilized at work on a daily basis. Enter the book Now, Discover Your Strengths.

Now, Discover Your Strengths was written to help flip that percentage around. In their best-selling book, authors Buckingham and Clifton promote a shift in the way people and organizations approach work. Instead of trying to “fix” shortcomings and “mend” faults, employees and organizations should begin to focus on utilizing strengths and learn to apply those strengths to work on a daily basis. It’s what the authors call the Strengths Revolution.

The 260 page book is divided into three major sections. They are:

• The Anatomy of a Strength
• Discover the Source of Your Strengths
• Put Strengths to Work

Now, Discover Your Strengths is a unique and insightful book that opens readers eyes to the powerful force of the Strengths Revolution. It offers a code in the book jacket for a free, one-time, online self assessment called the StrengthsFinder Profile. The profile highlights reader’s top five strengths and directly correlates to content found in the book. Whether you’re CEO of a major corporation or a newly hired employee straight out of college, Now, Discover Your Strengths is a must read! Buy it.
