A lifelong educator, she writes about why we must and how we can bring strengths discovery to our work with young people. It's a great book for fostering partnership with parents and teachers in kids' lives. Buckingham wrote the forward.

We then discuss the anonymous responses in front of each other... one thing for sure is it can be helpful to confront any elephants in the room.

My employer uses those questions every year. And if leadership takes the responses seriously employee satisfaction will really improve. And if your employees are happy, your customer’s satisfaction will really improve. My employer just received Gallup’s Great Workplace Awards for 2008. One of 20 companies in the world to receive this award. And Gallup has came out with a Q12 survey for churches. I have no idea what the survey looks like, but I plane on checking it out.

I'll tell you something odd about the way we interpreted the results - if it wasn't strongly agree, it wasn't considered a positive - in other words, out of strongly disagree - disagree - neutral - agree - strongly agree, on the last choice was a positive; neutral and agree were both "non-positives" and impacted our action items. I know I'm not explaining that very well, but I think the gist was, if you feel like your opinions count most of the time, we, as leadership, had to work on it still. I thought that was very odd, since the "best friend at work" question requires a binary answer to me. Anyway, they are great questions, and I still use them to this day.
