New Releases by Marcus Buckingham

Les auteurs tentent de prouver, enquête à l''appui, que "le management est un métier qui consiste à gérer des talents", une petite phrase anodine qui "constitue en fait une véritable révolution dans la manière de concevoir le rôle du manager ..." (cf. quatrième de couverture). [SDM].

Stärkenorientierte Führung liegt im Trend: Anstatt die eigenen Schwachstellen und die der Mitarbeiter zu korrigieren, ist es sinnvoller und vor allem effektiver, die individuellen Stärken zu kennen und zu fördern. Denn wer sich auf die Stärken seiner Mitarbeiter konzentriert, wird mit besseren Leistungen belohnt. In sechs konkreten und leicht in den Arbeitsalltag integrierbaren Schritten zeigt Marcus Buckingham, wie man seine Stärken identifiziert und gezielt nutzt – für mehr Leistung und Erfolg im Führungsalltag!

With insightful exercises and tried-and-true life wisdom, this book-and-DVD package is ideal for high school and college students, young professionals, and people simply wanting to revitalize their careers.

Drawing on a wide body of research, including extensive in-depth interviews, THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW reveals the central insights that lie at the core of: Great Managing, Great Leadership and Great Careers. Buckingham uses a wealth of relevant examples to reveal that at the heart of each insight lies a controlling insight. Lose sight of this ''one thing'' and all of your best efforts at managing, leading, or individual achievement will be diminished. For great managing, the controlling insight has less to do with fairness, or team building, or clear expectations (although all are important). Rather, the one thing great managers know is the need to discover and then capitalize on what is unique about each person. For leadership, the controlling insight is the opposite - discover and capitalize on what is universal to all your people, regardless of differences in personality, race, sex, or age. For sustained individual success, the controlling insight is the need to discover what you don''t like doing, and know how and when to stop doing it. In every way a groundbreaking work, THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW offers crucial performance and career lessons for business people at every level.

Companies routinely claim that ''Our People Are Our Greatest Asset'', but research data shows that in practice most people do not actually use their assets much at work. This books aims to change that. When employees learn how to truly apply their greatest strengths at work, they turbo-charge their career potential and everybody wins. Companies find that their employees are more productive, their teams are more effective, their organization is more innovative and, accordingly, their customers are more engaged. In FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES, Marcus Buckingham proved the link between engaged employees and more profitable bottom lines and highlighted great managers as the catalyst. In NOW, DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS he explained how to sort through your patterns of wishes, abilities, thoughts and feelings and, with the help of a web-based profile, identify your five most dominant talents. In GO, PUT YOUR STRENGTHS TO WORK he shows you how to take the crucial next step. How to seize control of your time at work and, in the face of a world that doesn''t much care whether you are playing to your strengths, how to rewrite your job description under the nose of your boss.

Marcus Buckingham, qui a fait ses études à Cambridge, est considéré comme l''une des autorités les plus respectées au monde sur les questions de gestion et de leadership. Avec Le principe moteur de l''excellence, il offre à ses lecteurs une leçon d''une valeur inestimable sur les façons d''atteindre l''excellence et la réussite, un guide permettant de comprendre l''essence des trois aspects fondamentaux de l''activité professionnelle. Les nombreuses facettes d''une pratique de gestion exceptionnelle, d''un leadership efficace et de la réussite personnelle pourraient faire l''objet d''exposés sans fin, mais Buckingham possède un grand talent, celui de voir au-delà de la multitude d''explications souvent contradictoires et de mettre le doigt sur ce qui compte le plus, sans jamais simplifier les choses à outrance. Ouvrage révolutionnaire à bien des égards, Le principe moteur de l''excellence renferme des enseignements fondamentaux sur le rendement et le cheminement professionnel qui seront utiles à tous les gens d''affaires, quelle que soit l''étape où ils en sont dans leur carrière.

En "Lo unico que usted debe saber," Marcus Buckingham capta la esencia de tres areas fundamentales para la actividad profesional: una gran gestion, un gran liderazgo y el exito profesional duradero, y revela la unica nocion determinante, el meollo, de cada una. Si se pierde de vista este B"unicoB" factor, dice el, los mejores esfuerzos se veran minados. El autor argumenta que el exito le llega a quien se mantiene enfocado en esta nocion esencial, entiende todas sus ramificaciones y orienta sus decisiones alrededor de ella. El autor basa sus teorias en investigaciones derivadas de muchas fuentes, entre ellas sus propios archivos de datos y entrevistas en profundidad a personas en todos los niveles de la organizacion. B

Peu de personnes savent réellement quels sont leurs points forts. Au contraire, nous sommes plutôt conscients de nos faiblesses, auxquelles nous ne cessons de vouloir remédier toute notre vie durant, alors qu''il faudrait axer notre développement sur nos forces et bâtir notre existence autour d''elles. Pour parvenir à ce changement radical d''optique, la Gallup Organization a mis au point un détecteur de talents disponible sur Internet sous la forme d''un questionnaire en ligne. Ce livre unique en son genre donne les clés pour utiliser ce détecteur et pour interpréter les résultats qu''il révélera. La méthode des deux auteurs, fondée sur une analyse statistique des comportements humains, est radicalement innovante et ouvrira des horizons inattendus à tous ceux qui l''utiliseront pour eux-mêmes et pour les personnes avec lesquelles ils travaillent.
