The traits of great managers (a data-driven analysis)

We recently released the results of a study of 5,000+ employees about their perspectives on their managers. From it, we gleaned some amazing findings, all of which can be found in our People Management Study report.

I had the chance to have a conversation with Craig Weber, author of Conversational Capacity, to talk about our study and get his insights on the traits we saw associated most commonly with great managers.

Craig is both insightful and entertaining. Hope you enjoy!
