This easy to read book opens the door on a concept of people management hitherto unknown in the table-thumping boardrooms of Smallbusinessville. In not much more than 100 pages, Ken Blanchard shows us that getting the best out of our fellow team members is not about 'showing them who's boss', but has more to do with a system of reward and recognition designed to set goals and help people achieve those goals.
A word of warning! Reading this book may seriously change your attitudes to people management. I have already found its contents to be of real and practical help here in my own professional practice, but above all in my role as a pro-active accountant and business developer.

This book should be required reading for all business school students. This book should be read and reread. In my writings, in my consulting and in my family, I use the principles described in The One Minute Manager. It simply and elegantly shows us how to teach, how to communicate and how to win. It is a wonderful model for all executives to ensure becoming more successful. Until you are effective with people, you have little chance to succeed. The One Minute Manager fills an important gap in most peoples' perceptions of what will work. Otherwise, most people will transfer their fear of being bossed into becoming a fear-creating boss.

I first encountered this book about 15 years ago and it has been an excellent source of sound management practice and advice ever since. I had a colleague once who was bothered about how to deal with a member of staff who was normally reliable but a bit of a 'jack the lad' and had difficulty in deciding how best to deal with the man. I told him how the One Minute Manager would have dealt with it - it worked a dream. And it took about 30 seconds rather than the ten minute discussion, with the man probably denying it and a resultant unsatisfactory solution. This is an invaluable management book and should be read by managers at all levels. And one excellent basic OMM rule - try to catch people doing this RIGHT, not WRONG, that makes such a great difference.
Definitely THE management book to buy.

Although after working low down in the pecking-order in most of the varied places I have worked, the last few years I find myself managing people as opposed to being managed. Read more
