I do claim them to be an expression of my personal thoughts based on my research and experience. I am familiar with Buckingham's work and seriously doubt that he would claim to be the originator of the idea that people should focus on their strengths. I most certainly doubt that he would take issue with anything I have written in this post. But since you raise it I am grateful for reminder that people who are interested in exploring their strengths (and those of their team members) should take a look at Marcus Buckingham's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Marcus-Buckingham/e/B001H6NQ20/ref=sr_tc_2_0" rel="nofollow">Amazon Author page</a> and also Tom Rath's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Rath/e/B001J8ZIN6/ref=sr_tc_2_0" rel="nofollow">Amazon Author page</a>. In the meantime, if my posts offend you in any way Steve, please take yourself off the distribution list. I didn’t claim them to be my original ideas.
