Abstract Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman of the Gallup Organization have written a challenging book for managers, First, Break All the Rules (Simon & Schuster, 1999). Their conclusions are built on twenty‐five years' research with over a million employees. Whereas the authors deal with many facets that they found to characterize great managers, in this article I want to relate one of their points to principles of Policy Governance.
