These two authors have written a book that describes the qualities a great manager possesses. To do this, they have taken very in-depth interviews conducted by the prestigious Gallup organization, and extrapolated on the data found. Tey have written it full of real life examples, little stories, to illustrate and prove their points as well as addressed each of the survey questions. They have broken the book down into “Keys” to management, from “Selecting for Talent” to “Finding the Right Fit”, truly explaining, through phrasing various questions, what an outstanding manager must do. The book helps show the importance of enabling and allowing growth within the individuals one must manage, and emphasizes the steps to take to do this. Anyone looking to become a successful and unique manager, one that truly impacts others, this book is a must!
