Strengths Based Leadership: Great Leaders, Teams, and Why People Follow

Nearly a decade ago, Gallup unveiled the results of a landmark 30-year research project that ignited a global conversation on the topic of strengths.More than three million people have since taken Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic, including the #1 international bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0.

In STRENGTHS LEADERSHIP, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath and renowned leadership consultant Barry Conchie reveal the results of Gallup's newest research on strengths and leadership. Gallup scientists have surveyed a million work teams, conducted more than 50,000 in-depth interviews with leaders, and even interviewed 20,000 followers around the world to ask exactly why they followed the most important leader in their life. What they found are three keys to being a more effective leader: knowing your strengths, getting the right talents on your team, and meeting the four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership.
