Nine Lies About Work

A Freethinking Leader's Guide to the Real World
Book • 2019
This book by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall exposes nine common lies about work that cause dysfunction and frustration in the workplace.

The authors argue that these lies, such as the belief that people care which company they work for or that strategic planning is essential, are distortions that hinder true productivity.

Instead, they advocate for focusing on team strength, cascading meaning rather than goals, and providing helpful attention rather than constant feedback.

The book emphasizes the power of individual uniqueness and the importance of evidence over dogma in creating a more effective and human-centered work environment.
