First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently: From Gallup

Product Information

If you only look at what’s the norm, you also severely undermine the opportunity for everybody to exceed expectations.

In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers. As long as the means are within the company's legal boundaries and industry standards, let the employee use his own style to deliver the result or outcome you want. They also spend a lot of time with their best employees, trying to understand not only their talents, but all aspects of their lives. The book is a result of observations based on 80,000 interviews with managers [3] as conducted by the Gallup Organization in the last 25 years.

Tymczasem to jedna z najlepszych książek o zarządzaniu jakie czytałem, oparta na rygorystycznych badaniach o ogromnej skali, z których wyciągnięto konkretne i wdrażalne wnioski.

I'm not a manager, but this book felt especially relevant to me since my company just did an employee survey based on the 12 questions Gallup formulated through this study. My best friend went on to explain that she'd been in change of data for the entire elementary school last year and that she had a reputation for her skills.There are many ways to increase revenues for a company, yet most of these techniques result in only short-lived growth. When you want to improve employees performance, look to the top performers on your team, not mistakes or averages. and what this book taught me was that your 'talent' could be that you hate waking up in the morning lol (I'm very talented at this) and a managers job is to align talent with career aspirations. For this reason, great managers shift their attention away from controlling employees and onto employees’ performance results and outcomes.
