We Wrote the Book on Strengths-Based Development

Actually, we've written a few books about how to use a strengths-based approach to succeed.

Starting with Don Clifton's pioneering work Soar With Your Strengths (1995), we helped create the cornerstone titles in the fields of positive psychology and strengths psychology.

Soar With Your Strengths

International bestsellers Now, Discover Your Strengths (2001) and StrengthsFinder 2.0 (2007) brought readers the chance to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment and discover their top 5 CliftonStrengths.

Now, Discover Your Strengths

During the next decade, we published Strengths Based Leadership (2009) and other books that applied a strengths-based approach to specific jobs and other roles -- including parenting.

Strengths Based Leadership

Most recently, we published It's the Manager (2019), a bestseller that helps managers understand how to coach and develop their teams using CliftonStrengths.
