Synopsis

"The principal author of the extraordinary bestsellers First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths offers a dramatically new way to understand the art of success. With over 1.6 million copies of his landmark books in print, Cambridge-educated Marcus Buckingham is considered one of the most respected authorities on the subject of management and leadership in the world. Now, with The One Thing You Need to Know, he gives readers an invaluable course in outstanding achievement -- a guide to capturing the essence of the three areas fundamental to professional activity. Great managing, great leading, and career success -- Buckingham draws on a wealth of examples to reveal the single controlling  insight that lies at the heart of each. Lose sight of this ""one thing"" and even your best efforts will be diminished or compromised. The author explains the surprisingly different answers to each of these rich and complete subjects. The many facets of great managing, great leading, and career success could be detailed endlessly, but Buckingham's great gift is his ability to cut through the thicket of often-conflicting possibilities and zero in on what matters most, without ever oversimplifying. As he observes, success comes to those who remain mindful of the core insight, understand all of its ramifications, and orient their decisions around it. Buckingham backs his arguments with authoritative research from a wide variety of sources, including his own data and in-depth interviews with individuals at every level of an organization, from CEOs to hotel maids and stockboys. In every way a groundbreaking book, The One Thing You Need to Know offers essential performance and career lessons for businesspeople at all career stages. "
