Hidden deep in the extended link of this entry you will find a short review of Marcus Buckingham's book "Now Discover Your Strengths".
I have to be honest - the review is a little odd. Primarily because we've been instructed to only read up to Chapter 4 as we're learning the rest at our MLS session next week.
Also, I've heard/seen Mr Buckingham speak on a similar theme several times, so much of what I've read has kind of amalgamated with the stuff I'd heard on the subject before.
Anyway, having said all that. I think the principles in this book are excellent. I'm more and more convinced that the idea of playing to our strengths is what transforms great teams to excellent teams. And if you want to know why, you'll just have to click the link (or even consider reading the book yourself.
So here goes...

Now, discover your strengths is a book that I was given when I applied for the directors role @ NSYFC.I was asked to complete the "strengths finder" online test to find out what my major areas of strength were, and I have to say it was quite acurate. I obviously read the sections of the book about the strengths that it claimed that i possessed, but since then it has sat on my bookshelf gathering dust.
Now, whilst at the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit in October, Markus Buckingham (the author) did a session based on the findings of this book, and it really got me excited, so I've decided to dust down my copy and read it as my next book assignment. Should be interesting.
I'm also hoping to revisit the whole online test thing, as I reckon that the strengths I thought I had 3 years ago are probably quite different to the ones I have now. Anyway, I hope I haven't given too much away about the book in this entry, cos I'm really quite excited to see how my reading goes, and whether I come across anything I didn't expect.
Keep watching.
