Nine Lies about Work reveals the few core truths that will help you show just how good you are to those who truly rely on you.
This is the Real World of work, as it is and as it should be.
With engaging stories and incisive analysis, the authors reveal the essential truths that such Freethinking leaders will recognize immediately: that it is the strength and cohesiveness of your team, not your company\'s culture, that matter most; that we should focus less on top-down planning and more on giving our people reliable, real-time intelligence; that rather than trying to align people\'s goals we should strive to align people\'s sense of purpose and meaning; that people don\'t want constant feedback, they want helpful attention.
They know that emergent patterns are more valuable than received wisdom and that evidence is more powerful than dogma.
These Freethinking leaders recognize the power and beauty of our individual uniqueness.
But there are those who can get past the Lies and discover what\'s real.
They cause dysfunction and frustration, ultimately resulting in workplaces that are a pale shadow of what they could be.
Nine lies, to be exact.
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.
But actually, they\'re lies.
These may sound like basic truths of our work lives today.
Leadership is a thing.
Your competencies should be measured and your weaknesses shored up.
Strategic planning is essential.
Your organization\'s culture is the key to its success.
