Don’t grab a bucket, fill a bucket, and make all the difference in the workplace.

Business Book Zingers, a new feature I am creating on Slacker Manager, are 5 sentence reviews of classic and contemporary business books.

Zing5

  1. How Full is Your Bucket was written by Tom Rath and Donald Clifton - Tom’s grandfather / The Grandfather of Positive Psychology and The Father of Strengths Psychology.
  2. This is a classic book (2004) tied into Gallup research demonstrating the vital importance of engaging in positive interaction to promote more employee engagement.
  3. The book offers a bucket full of powerful strategies including: shine a light on what is right and reverse the golden rule.
  4. This book combines extensive research with down-to-earth-actions to make a difference not only for others but also for yourself.
  5. If you have not read the book, then dip into it now, and if you read it before I encourage you to read it again and get active filling buckets.

    David,

    Gallup’s “First Break All the Rules” and “Now Discover Your Strengths” were books that had a profound influence on me. Geoff Brewer, the editor of Gallup Press, and his colleagues at Gallup continue to do great work.

    And thank you for all the hard work you are putting into the Employee Engagement Network. It’s fast becoming a robust marketplace of ideas about employee engagement.

    Michael:

    There is quite a legacy of Donald Clifton through the work of Gallup. I will be doing more on their contributions at my site on Employee Engagement.

    Thanks for the thank you Michael. It means a lot coming from you.

    Hi Phil,
    I think it is a classic and one of the 3 strong books by Tom Rath.
