Marcus Buckingham se proslavil svými průkopnickými pracemi o rozvíjení silných stránek jednotlivců. Jeho výzkum, často založený na rozsáhlých rozhovorech a datech, zpochybňuje tradiční přístupy zaměřené na odstraňování slabin. Místo toho Buckingham obhajuje strategii zaměřenou na identifikaci a maximalizaci jedinečných talentů a vášní, které pohánějí osobní růst a pracovní úspěch. Jeho práce inspirovaly miliony lidí k přehodnocení toho, jak využívají své nejvýraznější schopnosti, a zdůrazňují, že skutečná efektivita a spokojenost pramení z pěstování toho, co nám jde nejlépe.
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.

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.
