Content outline
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[3] as conducted by the Gallup Organization between 1975 and 2000. The book goes into detail on debunking old myths about management, and gives advice to employers on how to obtain and keep talented people in their organization.[4]
Key ideas from the book include:
- treating every employee as an individual.
- not trying to fix weaknesses, but instead focusing on strengths and talent.
- finding ways to measure, count, and reward outcomes
