 Strengths Finder 2.0

“Over 4 Million Copies Sold-The #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller-New York Times Bestselling Author”

 Likely, you do not consistently engage in activities that align with your natural abilities and talents daily. Throughout our lives, we tend to focus more on rectifying our weaknesses rather than nurturing and enhancing our strengths.

 To assist individuals in identifying their unique strengths, Gallup introduced StrengthsFinder in their management book titled “Now, Discover Your Strengths” back in 2001. This groundbreaking publication sparked a global dialogue, and the accompanying StrengthsFinder assessment has since aided millions of people in uncovering their top five talents.

Building upon the success of the initial version, Gallup has now unveiled StrengthsFinder 2.0, an upgraded and enhanced online assessment tool. This new iteration offers a plethora of strategies and techniques to effectively leverage your strengths in various aspects of your life. By embracing StrengthsFinder 2.0, you will not only gain a fresh perspective on your abilities but also transform the way you perceive yourself and the world around you forever.

Firstly, the release of StrengthsFinder 2.0 has raised questions among book browsers, with one of the most common being whether they have already read a book on the topic. The answer is yes, but the topic is worth revisiting for two reasons. Firstly, over 2 million people have taken the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment in the six years since the release of Now, Discover Your Strengths, which means that billions of people have not yet had the opportunity. Secondly, Gallup researchers have continued to study the topic over the past decade, conducting more surveys, interviews, and studies, and analyzing the results. They have discovered that there is a lot more to understanding human talent than most people know.

The StrengthsFinder assessment is designed to uncover key talents, which are patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that can be productively applied. These patterns are categorized into 34 broad themes, such as Achiever, Ideation, and Relator, and they indicate and predict one’s innate and unique talents. When these talents are multiplied by the investment of time spent practicing, developing skills, and building knowledge, they can become strengths. It is common sense that your performance will be better if you are doing what you naturally do well. However, it is counterintuitive and runs directly against conventional wisdom that no amount of training will help you excel in your areas of weakness. You cannot do anything you want to do or be anything you want to be because you are just not going to be good at everything. But if you work with your talents, you can be extraordinary.

The business community has resonated with StrengthsFinder because there is a direct link between talent development and performance. In this interview, Tom Rath, author of StrengthsFinder 2.0, discusses what Gallup scientists have learned about human talent and how individuals and organizations can use this knowledge to improve performance. The book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand their strengths and how to use them to achieve their goals.
