Marcus Buckingham has been called "arguably the business world's most in-demand management guru" by Business Week. Buckingham has taken the corporate world by storm with his Strengths Revolution -- a strategy arising from his two decades as a Senior Researcher at Gallup Organization. The Strengths Revolution is not about fixing weaknesses, but identifying and building upon one's strengths. Buckingham proves time and again that companies that focus on cultivating employees' strengths dramatically increase efficiency while allowing for maximum personal growth and success. A tremendous resource for leaders, managers, and educators, he challenges conventional wisdom and shows the link between engaged employees and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover.

And you can't argue with results. He has developed his own extraordinarily successful consulting business and has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Fortune, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. He is routinely lauded by corporations such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, and Disney as an invaluable resource in informing, challenging, mentoring and inspiring people to find their strengths and sustain long-lasting personal success. His work has translated into four international bestselling books First, Break All the Rules ; Now, Discover Your Strengths ; The One Thing You Need to Know and Go Put Your Strengths To Work . In the Fall of 2008, Buckingham is set to release his fifth book, The Truth About You, aimed at young professionals.

In his presentations, Buckingham draws on his consulting experience and outlines the strategies he has developed in his texts for practical, real-world applications of his "Strengths Theory." With his help, audiences learn to identify and develop what they’re good at and to recognize that building on these increases both productivity and personal satisfaction in the workplace. Buckingham addresses more than 250,000 people around the globe each year. He is intent on generating thriving businesses with a workforce of individuals who have put their strengths to work in the pursuit of success. Unconventional, dynamic, and highly entertaining, he is, quite simply, one of the world's best business speakers.
