Marcus Buckingham confirmed to speak at Thinkers50 Summit 2011

Aug. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- To celebrate the recognition of the 2011 Thinkers50 awards, Benchmark for Business have created a full day exclusive management conference to be held on the 15th November at the Lancaster Hotel, London.

The conference will be preceeded by a black tie awards dinner to be held at the Lancaster hotel on the 14th November, where the 2011 Thinkers50 winner will be announced as well as 8 other awards celebrating the best and brightest in modern management thinking.

The conference will feature leadership, strategy and innovation insights from Costas Markides, Marshall Goldsmith, Vijay Govindarajan and Marcus Buckingham.

Marcus Buckingham is an internationally renowned and celebrated consultant, a sought-after speaker, and a New York Times bestselling author. Challenging accepted and entrenched social theory, Buckingham pioneered a revolutionary concept: that people will be dramatically more effective, successful, and fulfilled when they play to their strongest skills rather than attempting to improve their weaknesses.

Marcus Buckingham was placed 25th in the 2009 Thinkers50 ranking.
