Nine Lies About Work (Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall)

£4.00

Nine Lies About Work challenges common workplace assumptions and argues that high performance does not come from standardised systems or generic feedback, but from focusing on individual strengths, building trust within teams, and designing work around real human behaviour. By recognising that people are unique and that great leadership is relational rather than procedural, the book reframes how organisations can create engagement, effectiveness, and sustainable results.

Nine Lies About Work challenges common workplace assumptions and argues that high performance does not come from standardised systems or generic feedback, but from focusing on individual strengths, building trust within teams, and designing work around real human behaviour. By recognising that people are unique and that great leadership is relational rather than procedural, the book reframes how organisations can create engagement, effectiveness, and sustainable results.

  • From a GLAS Method perspective, this book aligns strongly with Self Acceptance, Shaping Relationships, and Directing Performance. GLAS reinforces that performance improves when individuals understand and work from their strengths rather than constantly trying to “fix weaknesses.” Acceptance builds clarity; clarity builds confidence; confidence improves contribution.

    The principles are strengthened through Strong Connections, Trust Conversations, and Community. The book’s emphasis on team leader impact and relational performance mirrors GLAS’ belief that performance is relational, not procedural. Sustainable results emerge through meaningful dialogue and mutual understanding.

    Finally, Nine Lies About Work supports Alignment, Leveraging Direction, and Compound Impact. When individuals work in roles aligned to strengths and purpose, effort compounds over time — creating higher engagement, better retention, and consistent performance growth.
