How do you get to what's real? The culture of your organization is crucial to its success. Strategic planning is important, and measuring people's competencies while addressing weaknesses is essential. Feedback is desired. These may seem like fundamental truths, but they are actually misconceptions. In this thought-provoking book, strengths expert Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall from Cisco challenge nine pervasive lies that lead to dysfunction and frustration in workplaces, creating a sense of unreality. However, some leaders can see beyond these lies and uncover the truth. These freethinking leaders value individual uniqueness, prioritize emergent patterns over traditional wisdom, and trust evidence over dogma. Through engaging stories and sharp analysis, the authors highlight key truths: the strength and cohesiveness of a team matter more than company culture; organizations should emphasize real-time intelligence over top-down planning; aligning people's sense of purpose is more important than aligning goals; and what people truly seek is helpful attention rather than constant feedback. Embracing individual uniqueness, rejecting dogma, and focusing on the power of teams are essential for healthy organizations. If you resonate with these ideas, this book is for you.
