The One Thing You Need to Know

Synopsis of The One Thing You Need to Know

«The One Thing You Need to Know» is the management and leadership essay by Marcus Buckingham, published by Free Press in hardcover (304 pages, in English).

Marcus Buckingham addresses the three key areas of professional life —management, leadership, and individual success— and argues that at the heart of each lies a single idea. Losing sight of that «one thing» undermines even the best efforts. The book draws on examples and interviews with employees at all levels.
