It’s the Manager: Moving from Boss to Coach

Many Social Capital companies are abandoning the hierarchical approach to leadership and embracing more collaborative environments where managers act as coaches and mentors. In It’s the Manager, Jim Clifton, chairman of Gallup, and Jim Harter, chief scientist for Gallup’s workplace management and well-being practices, pull together 52 discoveries from Gallup’s largest study on the future of work to provide guidelines on how managers can create the best possible working relationship with their direct reports. The idea is to help each team member achieve their full potential. If you’re looking to expand your repertoire as a leader, this book is a valuable and immediately actionable guide.
