I particularly appreciate how Marcus Buckingham emphasizes the importance of creating a culture of trust and respect among colleagues."First, Break All the Rules" is an inspiring book that has taught me how to be a better manager by focusing on the strengths of my team members.He lives with his wife and two children in Los Angeles. He is a member of the Secretary of State Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management. He drew on this research and used it as the basis for two bestselling books: First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Best Managers Do Differently and Now, Discover Your Strengths, of which he was both the writer and principal author.Ī subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Fortune, and Fast Company, Buckingham, now an independent consultant, author, and speaker, is considered one of the world's leading authority's on employee productivity and the practices of leading and managing. During his 17 years with The Gallup Organization, Buckingham helped lead research into the world's best leaders, managers, and workplaces. Buckingham and Coffman explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience how they set expectations for him or her - they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps how they motivate people - they build on each person's unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses and, finally, how great managers develop people - they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder.Ībout the Author Marcus Buckingham graduated from Cambridge University in 1987, with a master's degree in Social and Political Science. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The frontline manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. They consistently disregard the golden rule. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. Great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom.
