Marcus Buckingham preslávil svoje priekopnícke diela o rozvíjaní silných stránok jednotlivcov. Jeho výskum, často založený na rozsiahlych rozhovoroch a dátach, spochybňuje tradičné prístupy zamerané na odstraňovanie slabín. Namiesto toho Buckingham obhajuje stratégiu zameranú na identifikáciu a maximalizáciu jedinečných talentov a vášní, ktoré poháňajú osobný rast a pracovný úspech. Jeho práce inšpirovali milióny ľudí k prehodnoteniu toho, ako využívajú svoje najvýraznejšie schopnosti, a zdôrazňujú, že skutočná efektivita a spokojnosť pramenia z pestovania toho, čo nám ide najlepšie.
Nejlepší manažeři světa nemají mnoho společného. Jsou různého pohlaví, rasy a věku. Liší se styl jejich práce i cíle, které si stanovují. V jednom se však špičkoví manažeři shodují: Než začnou pracovat, nejprve poruší veškerá zažitá pravidla. Nevěří, že člověk je schopen dosáhnout všeho, pro co se rozhodne. Nesnaží se bojovat se slabými stránkami svých podřízených. Důsledně ignorují Zlaté pravidlo. A dokonce nadržují svým oblíbencům. Tato kniha vysvětluje proč.
Great managing, great leading, and career success--Buckingham draws on a wealth of examples to reveal the single controlling insight that lies at the heart of each. Lose sight of this "one thing" and even your best efforts will be diminished or compromised. Success comes to those who remain mindful of the core insight, understand all of its ramifications, and orient their decisions around it. Buckingham backs his arguments with authoritative research from a wide variety of sources, including his own data and in-depth interviews with individuals at every level of an organization, from CEOs to hotel maids and stockboys

How do you get to what's real? Your organization's culture is crucial for success, but many commonly accepted beliefs about work are misleading. In this thought-provoking book, strengths expert Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall from Cisco challenge nine pervasive lies that contribute to dysfunction and frustration in workplaces. These distortions create a sense of unreality, but some leaders can see beyond them. These freethinking leaders appreciate individual uniqueness, prioritize emergent patterns over traditional wisdom, and value evidence over dogma. Through engaging stories and sharp analysis, the authors highlight essential truths that resonate with these leaders: the strength and cohesiveness of a team matter more than company culture; organizations should prioritize real-time intelligence over top-down planning; aligning people’s sense of purpose is more important than aligning goals; and rather than constant feedback, individuals seek helpful attention. This is the authentic landscape of work, where understanding and embracing these truths can lead to a more effective and fulfilling organizational environment.
