Strengths Based Leadership
by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie
Gallup's leadership application: the four domains of leadership strength (executing, influencing, relationship building, strategic thinking), why teams need all four rather than leaders who have all four, and the four needs of followers: trust, compassion, stability, hope.
Read it if…
you lead a team and want to build it around complementary strengths.
Skip it if…
you want individual development; see the individual books.
Three things you will actually use
- No leader has it all; teams do.
- Followers need trust, compassion, stability and hope.
- Invest in strengths; it predicts engagement.
Do this first
Map your leadership team's themes across the four domains and find the gap.
Our verdict
Team-building application.
