Faz 's Reviews > First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

I've approached this book from different points of view and, by extension, different needs:

1. as a program manager of a management learning program (2004 - 2007):
to find out if the book is suitable as a thought-provoking gift to a group of new managers who have
just completed their management development program.

2. as a management consultant (2007 - 2011):
to learn the words and pictures used to describe talent, superstar performers, expectations and the
different behaviors.

3. as a manager (2011 until now):
-- to learn how to meet the expectations of my team members
-- to learn how to do things differently even though they are counter-intuitive in my mind
-- to find out elements of a work environment that frees talent
-- to get advice on what to prioritize in order to be a great manager, because I believe that it
can be learned.

The only reason I'd need to get a new copy of this book is because my current copy would be tattered from my constant referring to it.
