Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world’s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites. This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. In today’s tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The authors explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience; how they set expectations for him or her — they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps; how they motivate people — they build on each person’s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses; and, finally, how great managers develop people — they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder. And perhaps most important, this research — which initially generated thousands of different survey questions on the subject of employee opinion — finally produced the twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover. There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers at every level, and, best of all, the book shows you how to apply them to your own situation.
Sometimes you gotta toss your whole life into a burning dumpster to find what’s most important... Beatrice Archer has always done everything she’s supposed to —worked her ass off, ignored her non-existent personal life, and kept her mouth shut. Now she’s over it. The rat race, respectability...the underwire bras. She’s taking her life back. Starting with moving to Nowhere, Colorado to live life on her own terms. Now Bea gives exactly zero forks. Beer for breakfast. Sugar for everything else. Baggy sweats and soft cotton undies FTW. Then a much younger and delightfully attractive cop is called to deal with her flagrant disregard for appropriate clothing outside the local diner (some folks just don’t appreciate bunny slippers) and Bea realizes there’s something missing from her little decathlon of decadence...and he might be the guy to help her out. When it comes to breaking rules, Officer Austin Cooper is surprisingly eager to assist. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. But Bea’s about to discover that breaking the rules has consequences. And all of the cherry pies in Colorado can’t save her from what’s coming...

Nairobi In route to address a room filled with college-bound seniors my car dies. Pressed for time, I’m forced to do something I avoid like rule-breakers — public transportation. I hate subways and crowded buses; I evade them like men below my pay grade. Rule #5. I’ve sworn off the male population, because of my limited experience with them. If they knew my secret, I’d become a conquest. Twenty-eight years old, and no man has popped my cork, at least what Zaire, my sister, calls it. Despite my sexual reservations, crowded buses made me claustrophobic. I can’t help noticing how handsome the bus driver, Theo Jameson, is. A green-eyed, square-jawed stunner captivates me at once. Theo's charm and good looks are a consolation for a crappy day. Against my better judgment, agree to go out with him. Set for an evening of cheap dining, I’m struck speechless when Theo invites me to one of D.C.’s choicest restaurants. Dressed to the nines, not what I expected. Theo looks powerful in control. Like he made important business decisions like the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company, it made little sense to me considering he drove a bus for a living. His story seemed murky and left me puzzled certain there is more to Theo Jameson than meets the eye. Theo I believe it’s better to show than tell and let Nairobi think what she wants about me. Her mind made up already, although I don’t hide my lifestyle from her. I’m referred to as, Prince of the City, by my closest friends. I don’t mind the title and not far away from who I am. My heart is massive, and so is my bank account. Nairobi has placed me in the friends without benefits category, but I’m not okay with it. I could tell her I’m worth billions but know to win her heart; I first must gain her trust.

After years of living with a set of religious demands that he could never live up to, Fil Anderson found himself spiritually bankrupt and emotionally drained. Following a crash-and-burn in professional ministry, he experienced relief in learning to be with God rather than doing for God. Instead of desperation, he found healing, and a rich new life with God.In Breaking the Rules, Fil invites us to explore what happens when good religion turns bad. At such times we are weighed down with expectations of what it takes to be "right with God"--whether it is the expectations of others, holding up under pressure, fixing what's wrong or accomplishing big things for God.When we set aside this false agenda, we find the courage to confess our fears and insecurities. We taste the depths of God's love for us. Here is an opportunity to quit trusting in your own ability to live for God, and simply trust in God instead.
