This is all true and extremely relevant to the software industry. If anyone is interested in learning more about effective management based on these ideas, I recommend the book, "First, Break All the Rules," which is based on the same Gallup research that informs this article.
- myaso 9y agoNot that I'm a manager but I enjoyed High Output Management by Andy Grove. It's short and sticks to KISS, I don't really subscribe to the belief that dealing with people is something you can learn from books -- The Art of War won't kindle a non existent fire, instead it amplifies something innate. A lot of methodology seems overly rigid and stiff to be useful for anything but sounding good in theory and failing in practice.
