6. ...if employees' relationship with their
managers is fractured, then no amount of
perks will persuade the employees to
perform at top levels. Employee
engagement is a direct reflection of how
employees feel about their relationship

8. The transition from individual contributor to
manager represents a profound
psychological adjustment — a
transformation — as managers contend
with their new responsibilities.
New managers must learn how to lead others, to win trust
and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance
between delegation and control. It is a transition many new
managers fail to make.
