SynopsisFrom the author of the long-running #1 bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0 comes a landmark study of great leaders, teams and the reasons why people follow. Nearly a decade ago, Gallup unveiled the results of a landmark 30-year research project that ignited a global conversation on the topic of strengths. More than 19 million people have since taken Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic, including the #1 international bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0 . In recent years, while continuing to learn more about strengths, Gallup scientists have also been examining decades of data on the topic of leadership. They studied more than 1 million work teams, conducted more than 20,000 in-depth interviews with leaders and even interviewed more than 10,000 followers around the world to ask exactly why they followed the most important leader in their life. In Strengths Based Leadership , #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath and renowned leadership consultant Barry Conchie reveal the results of this research. Based on their discoveries, the book identifies three keys to being a more effective leader: knowing your strengths and investing in others' strengths, getting people with the right strengths on your team, and understanding and meeting the four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership. As you read Strengths Based Leadership , you'll hear firsthand accounts from some of the most successful organizational leaders in recent history, from the founder of Teach For America to the president of The Ritz-Carlton, as they discuss how their unique strengths have driven their success. Filled with novel research and actionable ideas, Strengths Based Leadership will give you a new road map for leading people toward a better future.

    It really really works !!!

    I have a smaller version of this mosquito repellent. I wanted a another one but it was sold out everywhere so I decided to buy this bigger one and it really really works !!! Not to mention that it is natural and it has a pleasant smell. Not a single mosquito was near us the day that I used it. I absolutely love it !!!

    Buy new if you need the access code

    If you're buying used, be sure to confirm the access code to take the online assessment is intact if that's important to you. I just wasted my money and have to buy another book in order to get the code.

  • Great Machine!

    I love this machine! With this purchase, I have two GS-388D large units and one rechargeable portable unit. My property has a creek, and three fountains--it's a mosquito breeding farm. The two large units, side-by-side, protect my deck, with a nozzle pointing in each direction (NSEW). Now, not one mosquito tries to enter my deck. This machine paired with Phyto Mosquito Repellent, is amazing. Great seller--great value with fast, FREE shipping.
