More quotes by Marcus Buckingham
Most of my work has been in corporations, studying how you build an organization that helps people to identify and work to their strengths.
Marcus Buckingham
The talented employee may join a company because of its charismatic leaders, its generous benefits, and its world-class training programs, but how long that employee stays and how productive he is while he is there is determined by his relationship with his immediate supervisor.
Marcus Buckingham
The time you spend with your best (employees) is, quite simply, your most productive time.

Freedom, individualism, authenticity and being yourself so long as you don't hurt another's physical person or property: Sustained success comes only when you take what's unique about you and figure out how to make it useful!
Marcus Buckingham
In most cases, no matter what it is, if you measure it and reward it, people will try to excel at it

Marcus Buckingham
We all want the chance to express the very best of ourselves and to be challenged to keep reaching for more. Our time at work affords us this chance - not the only chance, to be sure, but, given that we're there forty or fifty hours a week, it's one of the best.
Marcus Buckingham
The best way to find out whether you're on the right path? Stop looking at the path.
Marcus Buckingham
There is no shortage of mechanisms by which to measure almost anything.
Marcus Buckingham
A strength is what you do that makes you feel strengthened.
Marcus Buckingham
Google and Facebook, each in their own way, have revolutionized the delivery of advertising based on search and social networking, creating a sort of anti-Spam: targeted, relevant ads that a consumer might actually welcome rather than spurn.
Marcus Buckingham
Authenticity is your most precious commodity as a leader.
Marcus Buckingham
As with all catalysts, the manager's function is to speed up the reaction between two substances, thus creating the desired end product. Specifically, the manager creates performance in each employee by speeding up the reaction between the employee's talent and the company's goals, and between the employee's talent and the customer's needs.
Marcus Buckingham
I need to reach out to people who work for small to mid-sized companies, and help them identify and apply their strengths at work.
Marcus Buckingham
Many of us feel stress and get overwhelmed not because we're taking on too much, but because we're taking on too little of what really strengthens us.
Marcus Buckingham
Passion isn't something that lives way up in the sky, in abstract dreams and hopes. It lives at ground level, in the specific details of what you're actually doing every day.
Marcus Buckingham
Too many of the organizations I have observed resemble a farm in Kansas. They have lots of fences and silos as well as a storm cellar.
Marcus Buckingham
Too many companies waste time trying to eliminate their employees' weaknesses when, in fact, they should concentrate on developing their strengths.
