Marcus Buckingham Quotes About Focus

• The Four Keys of Great Managers: When selecting someone, they select for talent ... not simply experience, intelligence or determination. When setting expectations, they define the right outcomes ... not the right steps. When motivating someone, they focus on strengths ... not on weaknesses. and When developing someone, they help him find the right fit ... not simply the next rung on the ladder.

• Forcing your employees to follow required steps only prevents customer dissatisfaction. If your goal is truly to satisfy, to create advocates, then the step-by-step approach alone cannot get you there. Instead, you must select employees who have the talent to listen and to teach, and then you must focus them toward simple emotional outcomes like partnership and advice....Identify a person's strenths. Define outcomes that play to those strengths. Find a way to count, rate or rank those outcomes. And then let the person run.

  Focus, Remember, Results

• Sigue siendo cierto que los grandes directivos reconocen las individualidades y se centran en desarrollar los puntos fuertes en lugar de los débiles. Los grandes líderes, en cambio, reconocen lo que hay (o podría haber) en común -una visión, un sueño, una misión, lo que sea- e inspiran a los demás para que se unan a ellos en la empresa en cuestión.
