Think You're a Good Manager?

Databases make things more interesting.
Gallop, for instance, has used the same survey on employee satisfaction with hundreds of companies. As best I can tell, the beauty of the information not only is the trend of your company over time with multiple surveys, but how your company compares with other companies in the same situation as yours.
The most interesting statement in the assessment (and the one that has more complaints about its inclusion) (Wagner, 139)? "I have a best friend at work."
Got friends - or got politics? Might want to have a look.
