Forgive the short detour from the One Page Strategic Plan Quarterly priorities. Yesterday I had about 4 + hours of windshield time and listened to Gallup's audio on Strength Based Leadership. One business coaching tool that I've been recommending for my clients is the Strengths Based Leadership test.
