Put Your Strengths to Work - Marcus
Buckingham
This is a very pragmatic book on helping you
spend more time in your strengths and less
time in your weaknesses. It's full of
practical tips and ways to leverage your
strengths, including how to contribute your
strengths in team scenarios. One of the most
surprising insights in the book is that
strengths are not simply what you are good
at, and weaknesses are not simply what you
are bad at. Instead, you need to think of
strengths as your natural thinking, feeling,
and doing patterns. Your weaknesses are when
you are going against the grain of your
natural thinking, feeling, and doing
patterns.
