Everyone has talents and strengths. Everyone does projects. Developing Strengths-Based Project Teams integrates common project management and strengths-based talent development language to help you and your project team learn about and become a strengths-based project team. This book is designed for project managers, team members, and stakeholders who have an interest in talent development-- not only their own talents and strengths, but also the combined talents and strengths of their project teams.

Create an environment in which team members can use their talent development tools long-term to develop and apply what they naturally do best-- resulting in higher project team performance.
