The One Minute Manager

This is a book published long ago. The concept still exists today. Any manager should buy it to gain an understanding of how to coach your employees.

I bought this multiple time first for my myself then as a present. I have read it a found it super useful during my career development ( this and the entire collection) and It makes it also a perfect gift for people you might find yourself developing

My prof for Video Game Production had this short book as required reading for the class. I really enjoyed reading this and will encourage anyone that ever has to lead a group of people to read it too. The book is told as a simple story and as you progress you are taught the principles of the One Minute Manager. As I'm reading this I'm thinking "Wow, that seems like it should just be common knowledge", but it isn't.While you or I may have thought of it, or part of it at some point, it's nice to have a quick book lay it all out for you to digest and internalize as a whole philosophy for managing any group of people.Unfortunately the majority of people that move up to the title of manager have little to no training ... managing people. My personal experience is that anyone without management training decides that managing = "cracking the whip" and then doesn't understand when he not only doesn't get the results he expected but that his entire team wishes he would die in a fire.This book should be required reading for anyone promoted to manager.

This is a simple, though not simplistic, management book which can be read in one sitting and the message is easily understood. The principle is that by setting clear goals, praising people when you catch them doing something right (this is by far the most important takeaway from the book) and promptly reprimanding them, in an objective, matter of fact way, whenever they veer off the right path, you become an effective and efficient manager while setting people on the right path to managing themselves and eventually managing others. Though no credit is given to others for these ideas, it's clear that they are founded on the principles of positive reinforcement that come from behavioral psychology and had previously proved efficacy in fields ranging from animal training, therapy for people with disabilities (i.e. applied behavioral analysis used for autism) and various forms of mental illness, and can definitely help regular people achieve even higher levels of performance.The book is almost 30 years old and, because it's more principle centered rather than practical, I would say it has stood the test of time quite well. Given today's complex work environment, where often times responsibilities are difuse and not clearly defined, things like "one minute" goal settings should be taken in a more aspirational than in a literal way, and as long as you see it that way you can get much value out of this book. In fact many performance management systems today are already based on these ideas, so it's useful to understand them.

PERFECT 🤩

I have managed people for over 50 years. This book came out over 30 years ago and was an immediate best seller. It was and remains the best book on how to manage people. I now manage a Church and a DayCare. My DayCare Director asked me if I had any suggestions on how to manage people. I gave her this book. She read it; thanked me for it; and has had no problems with her employees. All of her employees are older than her, but they love her. If you want to know how to successfully manage people this is the book.

This is the one book everyone who supervises people should read, especially anyone who supervises me.I have given this book to every new supervisor who reports to me and taught it to groups several times. Everyone finds it a quick read and goes away wondering how principals so simple could have eluded them up until now.The procedures in the book do not have to be executed exactly as described in the book, however the principals of "One Minute Goal Setting", "One Minute Praisings", and "One Minute Repremands" give a framework for communication essential for successful teams and relationships.I have an MBA in management and if I had to choose between what I learned for the MBA and what I learned from this book, I would have to choose the One Minute manager.

Even if this book is a bit older, it does not mean that the subject is not accurate. On the contrary, this book is still up to date and worth to read. I would recommend this one to all the managers, middle managers and anyone who want to learn more about management. This is easy to read, not a text book like. It's simply style is charming and makes you want to read the next books by this same author.About the content of the book:The One Minute Manager reveals three secrets to productive and efficient managing as told through a young man's search for the perfect managing and leading skills. These three secrets are: One minute goals, one minute employee praisings, and one minute reprimand.These are all good advise for all the managers how to become a better leader and be more effective in their job.

Just finished reading the book, The One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard. It is the most fantastic book 👏 I have ever read and the style of writing is absolutely brilliant.It is not a very lengthy book, just around 100 pages and you can finish it over a weekend. The book is especially for those who want to become managers.Here are some key takeaways about the book:✔️ This book displays a conversation between a person aspiring to become a manager and someone who is already a manager also called a "One Minute Manager" and his three team members.✔️ It conveys few but very strong messages about what good management looks like and that too in the form of a short and brief book and it tells "Three important secrets" that could do wonders for both individual and organizational growth.✔️ This book tells the importance of setting goals with clear expectations and target dates along with your team member. The author has given a name called "One Minute Goals"✔️Next, it talks about recognizing and praising the achievement or success of team members on a timely basis also called One Minute Praisings. This encourages them to keep up the good work. All you have to do is to praise their behavior and say how good you feel about it and then pause to let them feel good too.✔️Also, this book talks about the importance of giving feedback in case the team member commits a mistake or when something goes wrong in the form of "One Minute Re-direct"✔️It tells you how to help your team member when something goes wrong rather than waiting for the performance review.So, to sum up, I would recommend you to read this book and then share it with others 😋

All came good and everything working great. Moreover the price is also right. Lots of fun awaits reading this book.
