Marcus Buckingham is one of the world's most sought-after keynote speakers and a revolutionary thinker on leadership, achievement, and human performance. Utilizing nearly two decades of experience as a Senior Researcher at the Gallup Organization, he has pioneered the "strengths revolution," a movement dedicated to challenging conventional management wisdom by focusing on cultivating employee strengths rather than solely improving weaknesses.
The definitive treatment of strengths in the workplace is captured in his acclaimed body of work, which includes the two best-selling business books of all time: First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths. His newest book, Love + Work, is a WSJ bestseller, and his Harvard Business Review cover article, "The Feedback Fallacy," was selected as one of the most influential articles in the publication's history. His strengths assessments have been taken by over 10 million people worldwide.
Buckingham founded The Marcus Buckingham Company (TMBC) to drive a worldwide conversation about maximizing human potential. His goal is to create workplaces where employees spend more than 75% of their day using their strongest skills and engaging in their favorite tasks, believing this focus is the missing link to high performance. This revolutionary theory shows a direct correlation between engaged employees and core business fundamentals, including profits and customer satisfaction.
As an independent consultant and dynamic speaker, he addresses over 250,000 people annually, delivering a rare combination of valid data, psychological insight, and practical tactics. His presentations are highly sought after by world-class corporations like Toyota, Microsoft, and Google for their ability to be grounded in reality yet powerfully uplifting, informing leaders on how to inspire people to find their unique strengths and sustain long-lasting personal success.
