"FYI For Your Improvement"
by Michael M. Lombard |
|
From the 2010 March Program:
"Overcoming Your Strengths"
Presented by Nancy Reece
Great overall guide for self discovery, and a terrific tool for coaching and developing others - a practical leadership resource. This book touches, at a high level, a lot of behavior and development topics, but does not get into the details. It gives 3- 4 pages on behavior or skill, hitting it fast and hard with guides and advise on development. (covers overuse of a skill, as well as addressing gaps in a skill)
