Riassunto

Companies routinely claim that 'Our People Are Our Greatest Asset', but research data shows that in practice most people do not actually use their assets much at work. This books aims to change that. When employees learn how to truly apply their greatest strengths at work, they turbo-charge their career potential and everybody wins. Companies find that their employees are more productive, their teams are more effective, their organization is more innovative and, accordingly, their customers are more engaged. In FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES, Marcus Buckingham proved the link between engaged employees and more profitable bottom lines and highlighted great managers as the catalyst. In NOW, DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS he explained how to sort through your patterns of wishes, abilities, thoughts and feelings and, with the help of a web-based profile, identify your five most dominant talents. In GO, PUT YOUR STRENGTHS TO WORK he shows you how to take the crucial next step. How to seize control of your time at work and, in the face of a world that doesn't much care whether you are playing to your strengths, how to rewrite your job description under the nose of your boss.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

[in text box with images running across the top]
'Back when you were young, your strengths were to be trusted. You might not have had a name for them - you might not even have labelled them strengths - but when you were a child, you listened to them. Then somehow, sometime between then and now, your childhood clarity faded and you started listening to the world around you more closely than you did to yourself. You had to get into college and find a job, and with the job came the urgent demands of customers, colleagues, and bosses. The truth you now face is that these people aren't very concerned with your strengths; they're much more interested in what you can get done for them.
But so what? Faced with the world's indifference, you've got two options: either resign yourself to a life in which your strengths are largely irrelevant; or, instead, learn how to make them relevant. Learn how to put them to work. It's your choice.'
-Marcus Buckingham
