Great tool in understanding people's strengths and using them instead of always trying to correct weaknesses.

Everyone has their own idea about what strengths they contribute to their organization.  This book does a nice job of explaining individual strengths and how to value them.  People are always motivated when they are doing the things that they love.  This book really makes you think about how to focus your energy when dealing with people development.

I conducted and heard of many other companies conducting team building exercises and/or book clubs out of this book and it's "Strengths Finder".  The book is founded on a great premise to focus on individual's strengths to enhance performance.  The real life application of the book itself is enhanced by the actual tool to define an individual's strenths.
