The core of the matter lies in how these managers havedebunked old myths about management and how they created new truths on obtaining and keeping talented people in theirorganization. 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. Business authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman discuss the fallacies of standard management thinking and how good managers create and sustain employee satisfaction. ![]() |
