About this title

About the Author

Marcus Buckingham is a multi-million-copy, best-selling author with over 3.6 million copies of his landmark bestsellers in print. Drawing on more than 150,000 interviews collected by Gallup over the previous 25 years, he developed the thesis for his strengths message that is changing the way the world approaches life and work. He has been the subject of in-depth profiles in the New York Times, Fortune, and Fast Company and has consulted with national and international brands, such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Best Buy, and Wells Fargo. He is also a member of the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management.

Reviews

Buckingham, a motivator hailed by firms such as Best Buy and Coca-Cola, uses two decades of research experience with the Gallup Organization to help others maximize their strengths. His fifth book (Nelson, 2008) is enhanced by this accompanying 22-minute DVD in which he engagingly speaks of recognizing true strengths whereby employees perform optimally, are motivated, and are "in the zone." His words are illustrated in a most involving way via a young trombone player who yearns to put his talents elsewhere in the school band, who is moved to change his path but who won't quit the band and leave it trombone-less. The story is presented sans dialog, with Buckingham's advice interspersed strategically. This DVD can easily be used to encourage new students or seasoned employees.—Debbie Rzepcyznski, Lake Cty.
