First, Break All The Rules: What The Worlds Greatest Managers Do Differently

First Break all the Rules

Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman
“Buckingham and Coffman discuss the fallacies of standard management thinking and how good managers create and sustain employee satisfaction. The book is a result of observations based on 80,000 interviews with managers as conducted by the Gallup Organization in the last 25 years. The core of the matter lies in how these managers have debunked old myths about management and how they created new truths on obtaining and keeping talented people in their organization. Some key ideas of the book include what the best managers do and don’t do: they treat every employee as an individual; they don’t try to fix weaknesses, but instead focus on strengths and talent; and they find ways to measure, count, and reward outcomes.” – Wikipedia

Find me Someone for this Position January 2016
Find me someone for this positionWhile you may not want to say this to a hiring manager who is standing over your desk in desperate need to fill a vacant position, believe it or not, the cost of hiring a weak employee like in many cases exceeds the cost of leaving the position vacant until you can find the right person. The best leaders and organizations that I work with rarely succumb to pressure, of simply filling the vacancy. Sometimes, however, the ‘here and now’ can make managers take short term actions which they will pay dearly for later.
