Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 60

First, it is short and well-written, which makes the information very accessible.

Next, it is actually based on "facts" - actually thousands of interveiws that the Gallup organization has conducted over several years.

Finally, it was fascinating to log into their website and run the test on Strength Finder.

My business partner and co-founder said that they nailed me!

I would strongly recommend this book to any manager or aspiring manager.
