Title: Distinguished Speaker Series: Marcus Buckingham - What the World’s Best Managers Do Differently (Ballroom 20A)

Speakers: Marcus Buckingham
Location: San Diego Convention Center - Room Ballroom 20A
Skill Level: Intermediate
Education Track: Distinguished Speaker Series
Sector: Trends
Description:
Question: What sets great companies apart? Survey data gathered over decades’ worth of interviews with thousands of managers and workers around the world reveals one simple truth: there are no great companies.
Every company is made up of separate teams, and the performance of those teams, no matter how successful the company may be, varies widely. What makes the difference? Answer: The manager. Managers play a significant role in creating an environment within which individuals can thrive, discover their talents and use their best selves daily. Great managers help people to identify and leverage their unique strengths. Buckingham will discuss the four key demands a manager must fulfill in order to provide the kind of environment that enables people to achieve peak performance on a regular basis:
Select the right people for the right roles; Clarify expectations of the manager and of the employee; Engage team members by paying constant attention; and Accelerate performance by maximizing strengths and
neutralizing weaknesses. In short, his presentation will address how great managers turn talents into performance.
