They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom.

In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

I’d planned the perfect vacation, including a massive surprise for my husband: his best friend, Nick, had agreed to join us.
