A Wall Street Journal bestseller
World-renowned researcher and New York Times bestselling author
Marcus Buckingham helps us discover where we're at our best--both at
work and in life.
You've long been told to "Do what you love." Sounds simple, but the real
challenge is how to do this in a world not set up to help you. Most of
us actually don't know the real truth of what we love--what engages us
and makes us thrive--and our workplaces, jobs, schools, even our
parents, are focused instead on making us conform. Sadly, no person or
system is dedicated to discovering the crucial intersection between what
you love to do and how you contribute it to others.
In this eye-opening, uplifting book, Buckingham shows you how to break
free from this conformity--how to decode your own loves, turn them into
their most powerful expression, and do the same for those you lead and
those you love.
How can you use love to reveal your unique gifts?
How can you pinpoint what makes you stand out from anyone else?
How can you choose roles in which you'll excel?
Love and Work unlocks answers to these questions and others, so you
can:
- Choose the right role on the team.
- Describe yourself compellingly in job interviews.
- Mold your existing role so that it calls upon the very best of you.
- Position yourself as a leader in such a way that your followers
quickly come to trust in you.
- Make lasting change for your team, your company, your family, or your
students.
Love, the most powerful of human emotions, the source of all creativity,
collaboration, insight, and excellence, has been systematically drained
from our lives--our work, teams, and classrooms.
It's time we brought love back in.
Love and Work shows you how.
