Author Description

If you want to succeed as a strengths based leader, you need to invest yourself in the process with presence and authenticity and first and foremost understand the philosophy behind very concrete tools offered by this paradigm. In Part One of the book we introduce you to the history and research behind the paradigm, definitions of the approach and underlying philosophy of strengths based leadership. In Part Two, you will be introduced to concrete strengths based ways of dealing with typical management challenges like conducting strengths based conversations, giving feedback, dealing with stress, enhancing team work, leading a change process, etc. Throughout the book we have attempted to make things specific and accessible by using quotes, cases and models.
