The Leader in You Series to Feature Best-Selling Author

The Leader in You Series will feature best-selling author Marcus Buckingham who will present "Now, Discover Your Strengths" on May 18, 2004, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT. Utilizing over 150,000 interviews collected over the last 25 years by the Gallup Organization, Mr. Buckingham asserts that there is no standard model for success. He will discuss how individuals, by discovering their specific strengths, can become better managers and employees. Additionally, he will provide specific techniques for better on-the-job performance by partnering specific employee strengths with the "right fit" for each individual.
