The Gallup Q12, as it's commonly called, is a set of 12 questions designed to measure employee engagement. Not satisfaction. Engagement. Why is that distinction important? Because satisfaction is surface-level—think free snacks in the breakroom—but engagement digs deeper. It's about your team's emotional connection to their work and their belief in the purpose of what they're doing. These questions came from years of research by Gallup, particularly detailed in their book "First, Break All the Rules" by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, which examines what makes employees thrive. And guess what? Engaged employees don't just work harder—they work smarter, stay longer and bring their A-game to your organization every day. Part 4, "Growth" - Questions 11 and 12: 11. In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my progress. 12. This last year, I have had opportunities at work to learn and grow. Interested in coaching or training on these topics for you or your team? We'd love to hear from you! Email Mike and Mark.

Chapter 1:Summary of First, Break All the Rules"First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently" is a book by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, published by Gallup Press. It is based on extensive research conducted by Gallup, which evaluated thousands of interviews with managers across various industries to understand what distinguishes great managers from average ones. Key Concepts:1. Talent vs. Skills: The authors argue that great managers focus on talent rather than just skills. They believe that employees should be placed in roles that align with their inherent talents, as this leads to better performance and job satisfaction.2. Employee Engagement: Engaged employees are more productive, provide better service, and contribute to the overall success of the organization. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding what engages employees and how managers can foster that engagement.3. The Four Keys to Great Management: The book identifies four key areas that great managers address:- Select for Talent: Recruit individuals based on their potential and natural abilities rather than relying exclusively on experience or education.- Define the Right Outcomes: Instead of dictating how work should be done, great managers focus on setting clear outcomes and allowing employees the flexibility to determine the best paths to achieve those results.- Focus on Strengths: Managers should help employees develop their strengths rather than concentrating on improving weaknesses. This strategy leads to higher morale and productivity.- Find the Right Fit: It's crucial to put employees in roles where they can excel, ensuring their talents are utilized effectively.4. The Importance of a Strong Relationship: The book emphasizes that managers should cultivate strong relationships with their employees. Understanding individual needs and motivations is essential for fostering trust and engagement.5. Questions to Gauge Engagement: The authors suggest that asking a few critical questions, such as whether employees know what is expected of them or have opportunities to use their strengths, can help assess and improve employee engagement. Conclusion:"First, Break All the Rules" challenges conventional management wisdom and encourages managers to think differently about how to lead teams. By focusing on individual strengths and creating an engaging workplace environment, managers can drive better performance and satisfaction. The insights provided in the book serve as a guide for effective management practices that prioritize the unique talents of employees.Chapter 2:The Theme of First, Break All the Rules"First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently" is a management book by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, published by Gallup Press. It is based on extensive research and interviews with managers and employees. Here are some key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas from the book: Key Plot Points1. The Importance of Managers: The book starts with the premise that great managers are crucial to an organization's success. The authors emphasize that quality management can significantly impact employee engagement and retention.2. Break the Conventional Rules: The title reflects the core idea that effective managers often do not follow traditional management wisdom. They focus on what works best for their specific team and circumstances.3. Focus on Employee Strengths: One of the main points is that great managers recognize and cultivate the unique strengths of each employee instead of trying to fix weaknesses. This approach leads to higher engagement and productivity.4. The Employee-engagement Questionnaire: The authors outline a set of questions that can gauge employee...

Tammy Alvarez, Gen X, joins Yo to discuss her new book, Escaping the Career Trap, Transform Your Apathy, a self-leadership blueprint for high achievers who want to experience true career fulfillment. Tammy is the CEO of the Career Winners Circle, author, professional keynote speaker, inspirational coach, and former corporate executive. Her spirited “Break All the Rules” approach blends C-Suite experience with a pragmatic, results-based coaching style that helps business professionals create a big impact and love every Monday again. Tammy's book is written for people who feel disenfranchised and the “so what” is this: when you start to become the CEO of “You Inc.”, everything changes. Topics Covered: Research findings around apathy How to transform apathy or “just good enough” phase Being the CEO of your career Beyond personal branding Aligning companies & personal employee ambitions Personal exploration of our passion Skills to build resilience by failing successfully (experimental mindset) 3 Episode Takeaways 1. We can break the career trap cycle by knowing what we do want to do, what we love doing, what we want to do next, and why you want to do it. If we find those things that are so natural for us and needed elsewhere, that's where the magic happens. 2. The Gartner research determined that 80% of respondents came back satisfied with their job and only 20% came back caring about what they do. When you connect your personal ambition to your personal aspiration with the company's goals, individuals are more fulfilled and companies thrive. 3. What if we treated our “frenemies” as our best customer or negotiate when new work comes along? We could be seen as a stronger leader.

A review of the book ‘First, Break All the Rules', which details a study into what some of the world's greatest managers do differently.
BlueNalu is one of the better-funded companies when it comes to cultivated meat. Having raised more than $100 million, including about $35 million toward the end of 2023—a notoriously difficult time to fundraise—their founder and CEO Lou Cooperhouse is optimistic about their path to success. But as you'll hear in this episode, Lou isn't working to compete against the commodity meats like chicken, pork, and beef. Rather, he's pursuing a strategy to compete against products that are exponentially higher-cost, like bluefin tuna, which can often sell for more than $100 a pound. In this conversation, Lou lays out his vision for a future BlueNalu factory with multiple 100,000 liter cultivators churning out some of the priciest oceanic delicacies. And because of this high price point, Lou thinks that his economic model is among the most attractive out there. We also talk about BlueNalu's collaborations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and US, and what he thinks the biggest barriers to success are, and more. Discussed in this episode This episode is the sixth in our multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous five episodes include Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. BlueNalu's recent $33.5 million fundraise. Lou recommends reading Great by Choice and First, Break All the Rules Lou was a guest on the show more than four years ago in Episode 32! Lou is affiliated with the Rutgers Food Innovation Center.
