2. INTRODUCTION
The idea of identifying one’s strengths has become a
popular trend among many businesses and college
campuses around the globe in the past decade. Strengths
Based Leadership by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie takes
the idea of finding and using strengths to a whole new
level by applying these strengths to the capacity of
leadership. Strengths Based Leadership builds upon Rath’s
ideas from StrengthsFinder 2.0 to look at the
implications of strengths and their impact on effective
leadership, how to maximize a team of leaders, and the
importance of understanding the needs of followers.
