You can’t take the title seriously (some of the Amazon.com reviewers did).  The book is about what Gallup has found makes effective managers of people during its research for various clients over 10+ years.  I really agree with the general findings.  After reading it you will be even more disappointed with management around here than you could have thought possible and will realize where HR found some of the latest changes in the performance review process (such as twice a year dialogues).  The book is targeted more at managers than at the individual.  It has a whole chapter devoted to interviewing which I have used.  It is well written.

Why does it make my must read list?  The book is really about expertise, that a successful business values and develops experts, and assembles teams of experts.
