First, Break All The Rules by Marcus Buckingham & Curt Coffman (Paperback)

What if everything you thought you knew about great management was wrong? This provocative book reveals how exceptional managers defy conventional wisdom—ignoring weaknesses, rejecting the idea of unlimited potential, and even breaking the “Golden Rule”—to unlock extraordinary performance. At the heart of every successful company are powerful front-line managers who attract, develop, and retain top talent. Through compelling real-world examples, the book shows how these leaders turn individual strengths into measurable results. With a groundbreaking framework of twelve key questions, it offers a simple yet powerful way to identify high-performing teams and proves the direct link between employee engagement and outcomes like productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and retention.
