First, break all the rules: What the world's best managers do differently

Gallup & Marcus Buckingham

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish liked it affiliate
Being a good manager is hard. You're rarely given much training and the examples around you are often more of what *not* to do. This book is a compilation of over 80,000 managers and 2,000,000 employees studied by Gallup and the key actions they found that make great managers, which are not what you'd expect. If you want to learn more, I wrote about it on the Lighthouse blog here.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
