Quotable: Marcus Buckingham

We've studied the best team leaders, and they don't write performance reviews, they don't give feedback. I don't want feedback. I want attention.

And the best team leaders seem to understand that what we really want is coaching attention. Don't give me feedback. Don't tell me where I stand. I want to know how to get better. Coach me right now. Help me get better next week.
