During the past two decades, research has linked personality strengths to a wide range of positive work and life outcomes, including wellbeing and stress management, motivation, creative problem-solving and improved relationships, self-confidence, career success and teamwork. It has also shown the importance of addressing performance risk areas to achieve the best possible outcomes.

This handbook is a practical guide to translating awareness from the Strengthscope® profile into behaviour change and successful results. It will also help readers improve their relationships with others through a better understanding of their strengths and performance risk areas. This book has been based on Brook’s and Brewerton’s Strengthscope® suite, an innovative strengths profiling system that helps improve performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several types of leaders, however essentially two variants, one who holds the designation of a leader and the other whose job demands leadership quality. You do not need to have a title to be a leader. A good leader is one who develops leaders under him. While a lot has been written on leadership few, if any, by an Indian who has worn out the soles of his shoes in the Indian corporate world—from field to desk to leadership. This book defines authentic leadership in the context of today’s world. What makes this book a great handbook for a new manager or a seasoned one is it’s Power of Simplicity which rests on actual experiences drawn from the author’s own work-life. This is a great handbook for aspiring leaders and leaders as well and has lots of practical examples that actually allow leaders referral points to navigate their own corporate attitude, associations and path. A master at identifying pain points, Doctor has left nothing to subtly and bluntly confront the issues at hand. His plain-speaking style will resonate with managers on the job, like it has in the course of his various consultancy assignments. A book to be thumbed through ever so often and in real time, it is powerful and insightful. A must-read, this book offers tremendous value in terms of guidance and growth for those young leaders who want to excel in their assigned roles. For all those leaders who extract the lessons from this simple yet powerful book, the reward, in terms of results, will be extraordinary.
