Full Description

Who will lead your workforce during rapid change? Gallup research reveals: It's the manager. While the world's workplace has been going through historic change, the practice of management has been stuck in time for decades. The new workforce -- especially younger generations -- wants their work to have deep mission and purpose. They don't want old-style command-and-control bosses. They want coaches who inspire them, communicate with them frequently and develop their strengths. Who is the most important person in your organization to lead your teams through these changes? Decades of global Gallup research reveal: It's your managers. They are the ones who make or break your organization's success. Packed with 52 discoveries from Gallup's largest study of the future of work, It's the Manager shows leaders and managers how to adapt their organizations to rapid change -- from new workplace demands to the challenges of managing remote employees, the rise of artificial intelligence, gig workers, and attracting and keeping today's best employees. Great managers maximize the potential of every team member and drive your organization's growth. And they give every one of your employees what they want most: a great job and a great life. This is the future of work. It's the Manager includes a unique code to take the CliftonStrengths assessment, which reveals your top five strengths, as well as supplemental content available on Gallup's online workplace platform.
