About this product

Product Information

The blockbuster #1 national bestselling phenomenon is back... not that it ever really went away. An easily-read story which quickly demonstrates three very practical management techniques, it also includes information on several studies in medicine and in the behavioral sciences, which help readers understand why these apparently simple methods work so well with so many people. The book is brief, the language is simple, and best of all...it works.

    Short and to the point, just as the book explains.

    I read the book a long time ago and enjoyed it then, but did not have a copy for my own. I had wanted my own copy for a long time, but just had not purchased one. I'm glad you had it for sale and I bought it. Have read it again and enjoyed it very much. More companies should run their businesses in like fashion. The entire world would be a better place to live and work if they did.

  • Good, but not the Holy Grail of Management!

    This is a VERY thin book, told in almost a fairy-tale style. It has large type and very short chapters -- The kind of book you can sit down and read completly in about an hour or less. It is an easy read, and the theories posed in this book do seem fairly sound, but what it does not address is how to deal with really difficult or beligerent subordinates, which is something I was hoping to get a different viewpoint on (other than my own!). The book keeps a "glass half full" type of motivational thinking which, in my opinion, does not always actually work in the real world. I've worked with some very determined, stubborn and difficult people who would have laughed off the entire premise of this method of managing people. That said however, I would also suggest anyone in management to ...

  • The One Minute Manager

    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 ...

  • One Minute Manager By Kenneth Blanchard,Spencer Johnson

    It will take you more than one minute to follow his ideas,but I really like keeping the ideas in mind esp. at work. There sometimes I have to start or stop someone from doing or not doing something and the book did give me a better way to do this with far less friction. I know it sounds corney but I have tried it at work since I purchased it and it has helped me on several occasions. My co-workers were really surprised when I went to shake hands with them after I had just spoke my mind and stuck out my hand to shake theirs. They didn't know it I was lost or what. They ask me and I told them where I got the idea. They now try to shake hands with me when WE try to make out work more productive and less hard and stressful. Thank You Barbara Jackson
