Great Leaders, Teams and Why People Follow

By: Tom Rath

Narrated by: Barry Conchie

In Strengths Based Leadership, number-one New York Times best-selling 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.

interesting insights

The book has some interesting insights and is quite straight to the point.
with the audio version I missed the ability to skip between the different themes in the last part of the book

Missed opportunity

Really wish the audiobook would have broken down each talent/strengths into individual chapters, instead of a run on chapter for half the book labeled “end Credits”. I will now have to keep notes of time stamps or purchase the hardcover to use as a quick reference for implementation of what is taught here.

Great Book on Working with Others

Take the test first to identify your characteristics then you can focus on the ones that describe you instead of listening to all of them and wonder which apply.

Wonderful!

I absolutely loved this book! Contains useful information and resources to better yourself as a leader.

Excellent book for Leaders

Great review and excellent guidance for all successful working groups. Appreciated the guidance on focusing on your strengths and their importance in leadership and team dynamics.
