The New One Minute Manager (The One Minute Manager-updated) (Indian Edition)

The great thing about Ken Blanchard's "One Minute Manager" is you can read it in about an hour (not a minute, as my co-worker joked). It's a tiny book that you can power through in no time, but the concepts in these limited pages are important and thought-provoking. "One Minute Manager" emphasizes the importance of asking the right questions, holding your staff to a high standard, holding them accountable (and yourself), and offering praise when it's appropriate. Like most leadership books, Blanchard's philosophy is pretty straightforward and touches on many of the same concepts other books espouse. You just can't beat the super fast read and the super easy to reference layout. A must-have for your leadership library.

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.

Great book! Simple and easy to read! Would recommend it to anybody starting a new management job!

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.

My executive coach recommended these books, and I'm so grateful. This and the Monkey Manager revolutionized my management style. I'm more confident, and so is my team. Our company, and by proxy, my department, grew threefold within 2 years. We were exhausted from the constant changes during extremely busy seasons. This helped me get all of us back on track. I had HR order copies for the managers under me, as well. Excited to see them grow, too.

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.

Arrive on time and as described

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

Libro compatto, semplice da leggere ma con un' ottima filosofia di fondo. Consigliato a tutti coloro che gestiscono persone. Fabio

El contenido del libro es invaluable, una joya para cualquiera que esté aprendiendo sobre liderazgo, por otra parte, el libro llegó con pequeños detalles estéticos, algunas paginas del libro parecen humedecidas…
