The Project Oxygen team in Google's People Innovation Lab conducted a comprehensive study on managers for a year. They collected over 10,000 observations across more than 100 variables using data-mining techniques. Additionally, they interviewed managers to gather more data and support their findings. After conducting numerous interviews and gathering data, researchers analyzed more than 400 pages of notes. The results were then shared with the employees, and several training programs based on these findings were developed for managers. By November 2012, the program had been implemented for several years, and the company demonstrated significant improvements in managerial effectiveness and performance thanks to the program.
