Marcus Buckingham spent two decades studying great business leaders. His conclusion: True leaders have a unique ability to make things simple.
Dip into most corporate or business-school curricula on leadership and you’ll find a mind-numbing list of skills that the aspiring leader must master, from motivating to communicating to counseling to managing conflict, and on and on. Corporate America has vastly overcomplicated the role of a leader, says Marcus Buckingham, and that’s a shame, because those disciplines, while important, fail to get to the heart of true leadership.
(Marcus Buckingham) has devoted his life to helping other people decide what to devote their lives to.
Arguably the business world's most in-demand management guru.
