First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently
by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman
First, Break All the Rules is one of the influential management and employee-engagement books to come out of Gallup’s research. Originally published in 1999, it is subtitled “What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently.”
The basic premise is surprisingly simple: Great managers don’t manage everyone the same way. They recognize that every employee is different and figure out how to bring out that individual’s best performance. A great manager recognizes that an employee who struggles in one position may excel in another. The objective isn’t simply to make someone fit a job; it’s to find the circumstances in which that person’s talents can produce exceptional results.
