In the past, my weekly book reviews 📚 have centered around topics such as Team Management and Company Culture, often highlighting the significance of Strategic Planning and the pivotal role of organizational culture in achieving success. Good morning, connections 😊 ! Today let's uncover *9 Lies About Work* by bestselling leadership author Marcus Buckingham, the head at the ADP Research Institute and Cisco Vice President of Leadership and Team Intelligence Ashley Goodall. Through data, evidence, and insightful analysis, they unravel common myths surrounding corporate leadership models. This book is recommended by Mihir Gosalia, who has a deep understanding of concepts. (Thank you🙏 ,Mihir, for your valuable list of books and insights on them.) When this book 📗 talks about Lies, it's referring to common work beliefs that no longer apply in today's workplaces. Researchers interviewed high and low achievers in various organizations, uncovering 8️⃣ conditions for engaged and productive teams. These conditions were then grouped into 2️⃣ categories: ❇ Best of WE: Team/company interactions & communal experience, including: 1.In my team, I am surrounded by people who share my values. 2.My teammates have my back. 3.I am really enthusiastic about the mission of my company. 4.I have great confidence in my company’s future. ❇ Best of ME: Personal work experience & engagement, including: 1.At work, I clearly understand what is expected of me. 2.I have the chance to use my strengths every day at work. 3.I know I will be recognized for excellent work. 4.In my work, I am always challenged to grow. Researchers debunked 9️⃣ work myths: 1️⃣ .People care which company they work for: Because we all dream of a job where the vending machine selection defines our destiny. 2️⃣ .The best plan wins: Clearly, success hinges on the unparalleled wisdom of 'eeny 🎶 , meeny 🎶 , miny 🎵 , moe 🎶 . 3️⃣ .The best companies cascade goals: Nothing beats a PowerPoint lullaby on 'Quarterly Objectives' for a good night's sleep. 4️⃣ .The best people are well-rounded: Specialization is overrated –> what we need are office ninjas who can do cartwheels with a laptop. 5️⃣ .People need feedback: We live for the adrenaline rush of another *Thank you* email, right? 6️⃣ .People can reliably rate other people: Our sixth sense for performance reviews makes psychic hotlines seem outdated. 7️⃣ .People have potential: Waiting for our *potential ship* to sail in, but it might be stuck in traffic. 8️⃣ .Work-life balance matters most: Because nothing says *harmony* like equal parts spreadsheets and sleep. 9️⃣ .Leadership is a thing: Absolutely, unicorns double as company CEOs, and we all have a secret map to their castle. ✳ Myth-Breaking Slides Ahead ✳ Revealing the truths that reshape our understanding. ✅ Lesson: Don't believe everything you've been told about work; Sometimes Even *Common Sense* wears a disguise. 😊 (Challenging Conventional Wisdom) #team #culture | 105 comments on LinkedIn
