2. StrengthsFinder Summary
Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?
Chances are, you don't. All too often, our natural talents go untapped.
From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcom-
ings than to developing our strengths.
Rooted in more than 40 years of research, this assessment has helped mil-
lions discover and develop their natural talents.
The philosophy of StrengthsFinder 2.0 is that people are more engaged,
productive, and fulfilled leveraging their strengths day-in and day-out.
StrengthsFiner 2.0 moves beyond traditional personality assessments by
zeroing in on your top five strengths from an inventory of 34 themes vali-
dated against a multi-million survey pool of completed assessments.
