Nine Lies About Work

Nine Lies About Work

A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World Hardcover

by Marcus Buckingham, Ashley Goodall

  • Why read?

    You crave feedback. Your organization’s culture is the key to its success. Strategic planning is essential. Your competencies should be measured and your weaknesses shored up. Leadership is a thing. These may sound like basic truths of our work lives today. But actually, they’re lies. As strengths guru and bestselling author Marcus Buckingham and Cisco Leadership and Team Intelligence head Ashley Goodall show in this provocative, inspiring book, there are some big lies — distortions, faulty assumptions, wrong thinking — that we encounter every time we show up for work. Nine lies, to be exact. This book leads to some free thinking about the way we do our jobs and how we can approach what we do in a different way.
