10 Big Ideas from “StrengthsFinder 2.0″ by Tom Rath

Here are 10 big ideas from Tom Rath’s StrengthsFinder 2.0…

1. Contrary to popular opinion, talent and potential matter a lot.
2. For best results, focus on doing what you’re naturally good at.
3. Time spent developing areas of weaknesses is time ill spent.
4. Partner with others who have different strengths that complement yours.
5. Diverse teams are more effective because they have a larger pool of strengths to draw from.
6. Encourage peers and direct reports to focus on utilizing their strengths, not “areas of improvement”.
7. Hire for talent and develop for strength.
8. Build your activities and schedule around your strengths.
9. Intentionally focus on activities that help you develop your talents into strengths.
10. Identify areas where you’re using more than one personal strength at a time – those are activities in which you can be world-class.

Read the full post or better yet buy/borrow the book and read that.
