Product Details
- Forget what you know about the world of workYou 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. They cause dysfunction and frustration, ultimately resulting in workplaces that are a pale shadow of what they could be.But there are those who can get past the lies and discover what's real. These freethinking leaders recognize the power and beauty of our individual uniqueness. They know that emergent patterns are more valuable than received wisdom and that evidence is more powerful than dogma.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.This is the real world of work, as it is and as it should be. 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.

Workplace Culture Editorial Review
**** "Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World" offers an incisive examination of common misconceptions regarding leadership and management in corporate culture. Authors Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall effectively challenge the traditional paradigms of leadership, arguing that much of what is regarded as essential for managing teams is, in fact, counterproductive. They highlight that conventional wisdom about performance reviews, cultures, and control can create friction that undermines employee engagement—a crucial component of a productive workforce. The book is praised for its accessibility and engaging writing style, despite some criticisms regarding sentence structure and casual tone. Readers find Buckingham and Goodall's framework refreshing, as it combines empirical research with practical insights. Many have expressed a heightened awareness of their own workplaces and leadership strategies after reading the book, noting that it compels one to reflect upon the ingrained lies about work that many tend to accept without question. Overall, "Nine Lies About Work" is recommended for anyone invested in leadership and organizational development. It serves as a wake-up call to re-evaluate leadership practices and is touted as essential reading for decision-makers across various organizational levels. **
