Teach with Your Strengths: How Great Teachers Inspire Their Students

Rosanne Liesveld, Jo Ann Miller

Gallup Press, 2005

This book just makes sense
I was at first apprehensive about buying this book. After all, what would the Gallup Poll know about teaching? Well, it turns out that they know a lot. Being a "highly qualified teacher", i.e. having a license to teach a subject is not enough these days. Good ...

Vital Friends: The People You Can't Afford to Live Without

Tom Rath

Gallup Press, 2006

Friends--- More Than Just a "Good Idea"
I've heard of good friends, close friends, old friends, casual friends, best friends, even "just" friends, but I had never heard the word "vital" to describe friends until this book. And that is exactly what Tom Rath proceeds to explain, that having friends, real, ...

AWESOME!

Gallup Press, 2008

Finally giving the Muslim majority a voice
This is an excellent book. It's a summary of the 2006 World Gallup Poll, which represents nearly all the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Ordinary people don't appear too often in the media, and this poll gives statistics on what most Muslims in Muslim-majority ...

12: The Elements of Great Managing

Rodd Wagner, James K. Harter

Gallup Press, 2006

Great guide for lower level managers
There are a few good books on supervision, and a lot of impractical but "brilliant" books on "leadership" but this is the first that I've read that I could really apply to my job. I wish the three crushing layers of bureacracy above me would read this book too. I ...

How Full Is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life

Tom Rath, Donald O. Clifton

Gallup Press, 2004

The Magic Word, Positive!
We see so much on this idea of being, acting and feeling positive. The use of 'bucket' as a metaphor really works showing you how you put in and take out of your 'bucket'. Great book and similar to the Law of attraction. Read Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret ...

StrengthsExplorer For Ages 10 to 14: From Gallup, the Creators of StrengthsFinder

Gallup Press, 2007

Excellent resource for parents and small group leaders
As a parent of a teen boy, it was a wonderful resource to understand how he works and especially, how different his strengths are from mine. By naming his strengths, we could better use them to his advantage and frankly, ours too. We could appeal to his strengths in ...

Married to the Brand: Why Consumers Bond with Some Brands for Life

William J. McEwen

Gallup Press, 2005

A Great Read For Anyone!
This book is a great read for market researchers and the general population alike. Dr. McEwen has put together a truly compelling "tale" of how certain brands entice followings, and how or why said followings are either maintained and groomed, or discarded. A ...
