Solid book, only suffers by comparison to its predecessor
After Marcus Buckingham wrote "First, Break All the Rules," my favorite management book of all time, he was beseiged by people asking him one question. "You told us to focus on our reports strengths and our own strengths, but how do we figure out what they are?"
This book is his answer to that question. The book includes the password to a website that allows you to take a clever little test that tells you your five primary strengths (out of 25 or so) or those of your subordinates if they take the test.
In reading the book, you learn about the different attributes, what work best fits the various skill sets and how best to manage people with the various characteristics. This really is a very useful book, but Buckingham's first book was so strong that this one suffered a little bit by comparison.
