How do you get to what's real? Your organization's culture is crucial for success, but many commonly accepted beliefs about work are misleading. In this thought-provoking book, strengths expert Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall from Cisco challenge nine pervasive lies that contribute to dysfunction and frustration in workplaces. These distortions create a sense of unreality, but some leaders can see beyond them. These freethinking leaders appreciate individual uniqueness, prioritize emergent patterns over traditional wisdom, and value evidence over dogma. Through engaging stories and sharp analysis, the authors highlight essential truths that resonate with these leaders: the strength and cohesiveness of a team matter more than company culture; organizations should prioritize real-time intelligence over top-down planning; aligning people’s sense of purpose is more important than aligning goals; and rather than constant feedback, individuals seek helpful attention. This is the authentic landscape of work, where understanding and embracing these truths can lead to a more effective and fulfilling organizational environment.

We are currently facing an epidemic of stress and anxiety exacerbated by a global pandemic. Life expectancy in the U.S. is declining, and less than 16 percent of the workforce is fully engaged. High-stress professions, such as nursing and teaching, report PTSD rates higher than those of returning soldiers. This indicates a significant issue: workplaces and schools have been designed without love, neglecting a fundamental human need. In this insightful and uplifting exploration, it is argued that love is a vital energy that must be expressed through our work. Our professional achievements, relationships, and responses to life's challenges are all enhanced when love is involved. Without love, there can be no learning, innovation, or sustainable growth. The author highlights the lack of love in our work lives and examines how we arrived at this point. He emphasizes the importance of human connection for personal development and explores what strong work relationships and effective teams look like when they reflect and amplify each member's passions. Finally, practical strategies are provided for reintegrating love into the workplace, encouraging individuals to identify their specific loves and cultivate this discipline in their daily lives. The message is clear: prioritizing love at work is essential for a fulfilling and productive life.
