Product Details
How do great managers inspire top performance in employees? How do they generate enthusiasm, unite disparate personalities to focus on a common mission and drive teams to achieve ever-higher goals?
More than two decades ago, Gallup combed through its database of more than 1 million employee and manager interviews to identify the elements that were most important to sustaining workplace excellence. Gallup revealed these elements in the longtime bestseller First, Break All the Rules.
12: The Elements of Great Managing is that book's long-awaited sequel. It follows great managers as they harness employee engagement to turn around a failing call center, save a struggling hotel, improve patient care in a hospital, maintain production through power outages and successfully face a host of other challenges in settings around the world.
12 presents findings from Gallup’s updated study that included 10 million employee and manager interviews spanning 114 countries and 41 languages. The book weaves Gallup’s insights with discoveries in the fields of neuroscience, game theory, psychology, sociology and economics.
Written for managers and employees of companies large and small, 12 explains what every company needs to know about creating and sustaining employee engagement.
What's Included
