 One Minute Manager September 1, 2008
For years I have considered this the best, quick read management book available. The "catch them doing something right" sums up the book nicely and it is a policy that I truly believe in.
27 Years and Still Counting... August 24, 2008
Back in 1981, I was a first line supervisor for a large steel company. As an organization, we were struggling against the competition coming from Japan dumping large volumes of low quality, low price steel on our shores. Our management team bought everyone a copy of the new book, The One Minute Manager. We found this small book to be a fun and crisp read. In short order, our local group solved our problems and thrived in the face of the competition.
In 2007, I was now a corporate director for a fortune 500 company and one of our operations were struggling with continual losses. Part of my corrective action was to dust off my old copy of The One Minute Manager and put it to use. I was somewhat surprised that it was still available through Amazon. I bought multiple copies for the managers and as in the past, they started solving their people issues which in turn solved all the other problems.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this 'old' book. Plain and simple, it works. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Author of Wingtips with Spurs
A One Minute readable with a great context book August 6, 2008
I read this book in my last year in university. I was a senior management student and after reading this book, I understood that during the past four years; I was not introduced to Ken Blanchard, and this masterpiece book.
I will keep it short. This book is actually not a book, it is an advisor when you need one, it is a friend who approves or shows you what to do in some common, but real life situations in business life. This book, I suggest, should be read by everybody (not necessarily only by managers or supervisors or employees but everyone who lives a social life) because it teaches you how to communicate with people. It is so easy to read, and one should read after and after so that the principles and ways are embedded and implemented by the readers. Thank you Ken Blanchard and his co-authors for writing this book.
This is an awesome book! August 3, 2008
I think everyone should read this book. This is a book you can read in about 45 minuets (so you dont get lost, or never get a chance to finish it) and very readable (in-fact the book is in a story format. There are many valuable lessons you can take with you, for people management, for managing yourself, it can even help with child discipline! This book is a classic must read!
Good book short read July 4, 2008
This is a great book to read, It makes you think about your management style. It does not take long to read an should make you a better manager at the same time. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a manager.
