Marcus Buckingham on The New Man
12/10/2008 12:31 PM
This
week, best selling author and speaker
Marcus Buckingham
is on the New Man Podcast (he’s also our first Oprah
guest). I was psyched to interview Marcus because he
brings a very practical approach to orienting your
life around the things you love.
Check this out -- Marcus says that only 12% of people are in a job that utilizes their strengths and invigorates them. More than 80% of people believe they could actually change their job description in such a way that they would be invigorated by their work.
So why the huge disconnect? Why are so many people tolerating shitty jobs and ultimately a less satisfying life?
Marcus and I dive into this inquiry while also discussing his latest toolkit (which is really cool, btw) called, The Truth About You.
Marcus is an inspiring man on a mission.
