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.

Strengths movement founder Marcus Buckingham answers the ultimate question: How can you actually apply your strengths for maximum success at work?

Drawing on a wide body of research, both his own and that of others, the book reveals the central insights that lie at the core of great managing, great leadership and great careers.

The world s greatest managers differ in sex, age, and race. They employ different styles and focus on different goals. Despite their differences, great managers share one trait: They break virtually every rule conventional wisdom holds sacred. They don t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They disregard the golden rule. They even play favorites. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers those who excelled at turning each employee s talent into performance. Companies compete to find and keep the best employees using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. This amazing book explains how the best managers select employees for talent rather than for skills or experience, how they set expectations, how they motivate people, and how they develop people. Gallup s research produced twelve simple questions that distinguish the strongest departments of a company from the rest. This book introduces this essential measuring stick and proves the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and rate of turnover."
