Marcus Buckingham Quotes

People leave managers, not companies Picture Quote #1

There is no shortage of mechanisms by which to measure almost anything Picture Quote #1

My point is, people really don’t change very much Picture Quote #1

Leaders are fascinated by future. You are a leader if and only if, you are restless for change, impatient for progress and deeply dissatisfied with status quo. Because in your head, you can see a better future. The friction between ‘what is’ and ‘what could be’ burns you, stirs you up, propels you. This is leadership Picture Quote #1

A note of caution: We can never achieve goals that envy sets for us. Looking at your friends and wishing you had what they had is a waste of precious energy. Because we are all unique, what makes another happy may do the opposite for you. That’s why advice is nice but often disappointing when heeded Picture Quote #1

CEOs hate variance. It’s the enemy. Variance in customer service is bad. Variance in quality is bad. CEOs love processes that are standardized, routinized, predictable. Stamping out variance makes a complex job a bit less complex Picture Quote #1

Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it’s really self-involved and very narcissistic - their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it’s about me. It’s a generation that’s been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part Picture Quote #1

It’s a special person - and personality - who can lead a start-up to soaring success and sustain that success for the long term. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg are star examples Picture Quote #1

American culture is CEO obsessed. We celebrate the hard-charging heroes and mythologize the iconoclastic visionaries. Those people are important Picture Quote #1

Authenticity is your most precious commodity as a leader Picture Quote #1

Americans just love convening. They are a convention-happy country and they love to get together to talk Picture Quote #1

To get the best coaching outcomes, always have your 1-on-1’s on your employee’s turf not yours. In your office the truth hides Picture Quote #1

Life’s tricky for women because they have to make more choices than men. And yes, choice is good, but boy, you better be an expert choice-maker Picture Quote #1

We dream of having a clean house - but who dreams of actually doing the cleaning? We don’t have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp; the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work Picture Quote #1

You won’t find a CEO who doesn’t talk about a ‘powerful culture’ as a source of competitive advantage. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a CEO who has much of a clue about the strength of that culture Picture Quote #1

We’re all filled with naturally recurring patterns that make us unique - they’re called talents. And our charge is to bloody well use them Picture Quote #1

Though women begin their lives more fulfilled than men, as they age, they gradually become less happy. Men, in contrast, get happier as they get older Picture Quote #1

It remains true that great managers recognize individualities and focus on developing strengths rather than weaknesses. Great leaders, in sharp contrast, recognize what is (or could be) shared in common - a vision, a dream, a mission, whatever - and inspire others to join them in the given enterprise Picture Quote #1

Women have lives that become increasingly empty. They’re doing more and feeling less Picture Quote #1

The opposite of a leader isn’t a follower. The opposite of a leader is a pessimist Picture Quote #1

Great managers know they don’t have 10 salespeople working for them. They know they have 10 individuals working for them . A great manager is brilliant at spotting the unique differences that separate each person and then capitalizing on them Picture Quote #1

Innovation and best practices can be sown throughout an organization - but only when they fall on fertile ground Picture Quote #1

Strengths are not activities you’re good at, they’re activities that strengthen you. A strength is an activity that before you’re doing it you look forward to doing it; while you’re doing it, time goes by quickly and you can concentrate; after you’ve done it, it seems to fulfill a need of yours Picture Quote #1

All the great organizations have great managers at all levels who recognize where their culture is getting stronger and where it is getting weaker. There are always reasons why Picture Quote #1

Don’t waste time trying to put in what was left out. Try to draw out what was left in Picture Quote #1

Getting after this terrible, avoidable waste of human potentiality is what gets me out of bed every morning Picture Quote #1

The true genius of a great manager is his or her ability to individualize. A great manager is one who understands how to trip each person’s trigger Picture Quote #1

Clarity is the answer to anxiety. Effective leaders are clear Picture Quote #1

Women have lives that become increasingly empty. They’re doing more and feeling less Picture Quote #1

The corporate world is appallingly bad at capitalizing on the strengths of its people Picture Quote #1
