400 companies and 80,000 managers are interviewed in-depth by the Gallup Organization to find out what the world’s greatest managers do differently.  

The subjects differ in sex, age, and race. Each employ vastly different styles and focuses on different goals.  Yet despite their differences, these great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom.  

There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers of every level, and best of all, it shows you how to apply them to your own situation.
