Marcus Buckingham used his nearly two decades of research experience as a senior consultant at the Gallup Organization to break through the preconceptions about achievements and get to the core of what drives success. The results of his persistence can be found in his best-selling books: First, Break All the Rules (1999), Now, Discover Your Strengths (2001), The One Thing You Need to Know (2005) and Go Put Your Strengths to Work (2007). He is widely considered to be one of the world’s leading authorities on employee productivity and the practices of leading and managing. In his role as author, independent consultant and speaker, he has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Fortune, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. His latest book is The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success (Thomas Nelson, September 2008).
