Drawing from nearly two decades as a senior researcher at The Gallup Organization,
Marcus Buckingham has become one of the world's leading authorities on employee productivity and practices of leading and managing. He is the revolutionary author and consultant behind the workplace-transforming "strengths revolution," having written the best-selling First, Break All the Rules, Now, Discover Your Strengths, and The One Thing You Need to Know. Buckingham partnered with Gallup to develop the popular StrengthsFinder exam at StrengthsFinder.com (see sidebar). His latest book is the recently-released Go Put Your Strengths to Work.
