The Perils of Accentuating the PositiveHoganPress Inc.2009

Edited by Robert B. Kaiser

This groundbreaking work assembles a dream team of thought leaders to critically evaluate advice from “gurus” to stop fixing weaknesses and instead focus on strengths. The book includes ten chapters from leading thinkers like Morgan McCall, Bob Eichinger, Bob Kaplan, Bob Hogan, Steven Berglas, Randy White, and the Center for Creative Leadership. Backed by years of research, filtered through years of experience, and loaded with practical advice, it provides the rest of what you need to know about the fad known as “strengths-based development.”
