As he observes, success comes to those who remain mindful of the core insight, understand all of its ramifications, and orient theirdecisions around it. Buckingham backs his arguments with authoritative research from a wide variety of sources, including his own research data and in-depth interviews with individuals at every level of an organization, from CEO's to hotel maids and stockboys.

In every way to a groundbreaking book, The One Thing You Need to Know offers crucial performance and career lessons for business people at all career stages.
