Putting Your Strengths to Work
On the job, most people operate at less than their full potential. Significantly less, suggests Marcus Buckingham, who cites research data that indicates that only 17 percent of the workforce believes they are using all of their strengths at work. Whether that work occurs in the business, education, or religious sectors, employees can achieve maximum success by emphasizing their strengths rather than their weaknesses. In his Summit session, Go Put Your Strengths to Work, Buckingham will examine the impact this radical approach has on leadership. He'll help leaders learn to identify, reinforce, and work within their strengths, and then explore ways to pass that understanding along to their teams.
