      Summary of 12 (Rodd Wagner and James Harter)

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      When The Gallup Organization analyzed more than one million employee interviews, it was found there really were only twelve elements which employees needed their managers to provide in order to create a high-performance work environment.

      In short, if you want your people to do great things for your organization, make sure you do these twelve things for them.
