Marcus Buckingham

Marcus Buckingham's national tour has only one stop in the Pacific Northwest, and this is it! Learn about his national tour and register today.

Marcus Buckingham has spent years interviewing thousands of employees at every career stage and is widely considered one of the world’s leading authorities on employee productivity and the practices of leading and managing. Now with his new book Go Put Your Strengths to Work – 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance (Free Press; March 6, 2007; $30.00), Buckingham presents a revolutionary way to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and put them into action.

Go Put Your Strengths to Work is the vital next step in the strengths movement. It is not a book of theory. Instead, it is a powerfully practical book. In Go Put Your Strengths to Work, Marcus Buckingham explains:

• How to use four telltale signs to identify your strengths
• The simple steps you can take each week that can create the job you want by shaping your existing job toward the activities that strengthen you and eliminating those that don’t
• How to describe what you are doing persuasively enough to make your colleagues and your boss actively want to help you put your strengths to work
• The strong habits you can install in your life to stay on your strengths path despite the demands of a new boss, a company reorganization, a tempting promotion, or any other change you may face during your career
• If you’re a manager, how to push your employees to be more productive by guiding them to their strengths

This stop on his tour will feature:

• Marcus Buckingham debuting the pre-publication findings from his Strengths Engagement Track (SET) research. This latest study focuses of top-performing work teams from sixteen blue chip companies (including Accenture, SAP, Best Buy and McKesson). Each attendee will receive a pre-published copy of the research findings.
• He'll also premiere his short feature film Trombone Player Wanted. Attendees will also receive a special introduction copy to the new short film series.
• The introduction of Buckingham’s latest book, Go Put Your Strengths To Work (Simon and Schuster, 2007). A copy of this book is included in the price of admission.
