Nine Lies About Work

To find out what makes something or someone special—what's real, in other words--you have to get past what everyone else says and figure it out for yourself. In this provocative, inspiring book, Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall show that there are nine lies running through the workplace today. They can cause dysfunction and frustration and make a person feel as though they're wandering through a dreamscape. But there are those who can get past the lies and discover what's real. These are freethinking leaders who recognize the power and beauty of individuality. They know that emergent patterns--of work or art or anything you can imagine--are more valuable than received wisdom.
