Gallup Global Practice Leader Tom Rath has written three bestselling business books in the last decade. His first book, How Full Is Your Bucket?, was a #1 New York Times and #1 BusinessWeek bestseller. Rath's 2007 book, StrengthsFinder 2.0, is a long-running #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller and was listed by USA Today as the top-selling business book of 2008.
Rath's latest book, Strengths Based Leadership, encompasses decades of research on the topic of leadership. Gallup scientists studied more than 1 million work teams, conducted more than 20,000 in-depth interviews with leaders, and interviewed more than 10,000 followers around the world to ask why they followed the most important leader in their life. Published in January 2009, the book immediately became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. In total, Rath's books have made more than 100 appearances on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.
Rath has been with Gallup for 14 years and currently leads Gallup's workplace research and leadership consulting worldwide. In this role, he spends a majority of his time crafting solutions to help organizations increase their growth rates while boosting employee engagement and well-being.
Rath serves on the board of VHL.org, an organization dedicated to cancer research and patient support. He earned degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania. Tom and his wife, Ashley, live in Washington, D.C.
