The 20th anniversary edition of Now, Discover Your Strengths comes
with an access code to the Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment. This
updated assessment includes reports and resources that go far beyond the
standardized reports of the older assessment by providing you with
personalized insight statements unique to your specific combination of
strengths.
Many people have little sense of their talents and strengths, much less
the ability to build their lives around them. Instead, they are raised
and taught to become experts in their weaknesses -- and spend their
lives trying to fix them -- while their strengths lie dormant.
Led by Don Clifton, the Father of Strengths-Based Psychology, Gallup
created a revolutionary program to help people identify their talents;
develop them into strengths; and enjoy consistent, near-perfect
performance. Twenty years ago, Gallup released Now, Discover Your
Strengths to bring this program to the world.
At the heart of this book is CliftonStrengths, the assessment that is
the product of decades of research and hundreds of thousands of
interviews to identify the most prevalent human strengths.
CliftonStrengths reveals 34 dominant talent themes that you can
translate into personal and career success. To develop this assessment,
Gallup conducted psychological profiles with more than 2 million
individuals to help people around the world focus and perfect these
themes. Since Now, Discover Your Strengths was first released two
decades ago, more than 20 million people worldwide have taken the
CliftonStrengths assessment.
The 20th anniversary edition includes a unique access code to take
CliftonStrengths -- previously known as StrengthsFinder 2.0 -- which is
a significantly more robust program than the assessment that appeared in
the original edition of the book. This web-based assessment analyzes
your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your top
five themes.
Once you know which of the 34 themes you lead with -- such as Achiever,
Activator, Empathy, Futuristic and Strategic -- the book will show you
how to use your top themes for your own development, for your success as
a manager and for the success of your organization.
With accessible and profound insights into how to turn talents into
strengths, and with immediate online feedback from the CliftonStrengths
assessment at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the
most groundbreaking and powerful business books ever written.
