Businessweek article about business bestsellers lists StrengthFinder 2.0 as the No. 1 book for July.

The StrengthFinder system is designed to “‘Help others understand that your strategic thinking is not an attempt to belittle their ideas, but is instead a natural propensity to consider all the facets of a plan objectively.’ There is no advice on what to do when your co-worker responds to this by trying to brain you with a stapler.” There are, however, other systems that do provide this guidance. How about considering how you understand and communicate with others…so they won’t be tempted to brain you with a stapler.
