He is routinely lauded by such corporations as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Master Foods, Wells Fargo, Yahoo and Disney as an invaluable resource in informing, challenging, mentoring and inspiring people to find their strengths and obtain and sustain long-lasting personal success. A wonderful resource for leaders, managers, and educators, Buckingham challenges conventional wisdom and shows the link between engaged employees and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover.
Groundbreaking Research
At Gallup, his research (backed by over 80,000 interviews) set out break through the preconceptions about achievements and get to the core of what drives success. The results reveal practices that oppose conventional wisdom when it comes to successful managerial behaviour.
Dare to Lead Differently
Marcus Buckngham’s message is simple yet unconventional - companies that focus on cultivating employees’ strengths rather than simply improving their weaknesses stand to dramatically increase efficiency while allowing for maximum personal growth and success. If such a theory sounds revolutionary, that’s because it is. Marcus Buckingham calls it the “strengths revolution.” As he addresses more than 250,000 audiences around the globe each year, Buckingham touts this strengths revolution as the key to finding the most effective route to personal success- and the missing link to the efficiency, competency, and success for which many companies constantly strive.
