Product Description:


For more than twenty years, millions of managers in Fortune 500 companies and small businesses nationwide have followed The One Minute Manager's techniques, thus increasing their productivity, job satisfaction, and personal prosperity. These very real results were achieved through learning the management techniques that spell profitability for the organization and its employees.



The One Minute Manager is a concise, easily read story that reveals three very practical secrets: One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings, and One Minute Reprimands.



The book also presents several studies in medicine and the behavioral sciences that clearly explain why these apparently simple methods work so well with so many people. By the book's end you will know how to apply them to your own situation and enjoy the benefits.



That's why The One Minute Manager has continued to appear on business bestseller lists for more than two decades, and has become an international sensation.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 27 Years and Still Counting...
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A One Minute readable with a great context book
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is an awesome book!
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!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Three Powerful Secrets
I just reread this great little primer on management and found it just as helpful as I did fifteen years ago. While its concepts are simple, they are also quite effective IF managers (including teachers, parents, and front-line supervisors) would implement them correctly. The three secrets of one-minute goal setting, one-minute praisings,and one-minute reprimands are based on sound behavioral principles and are bound to work as long as certain guidelines are met. For instance, goals should be realistic ... Read More
