Then when I was in my 40's I found myself in the position that I could be a One-Minute Manager myself, and worklife became fun. So now I find myself re-reading the One-Minute Manager series with a new perspective on worklife.
Now, why did they write this one on "Apology" – did the concept begin before or after the latest round of scandals in US business? Either way, it is trying to set a new moral high tone for those CEO's etc who have become as arrogant as the Roman Emperors of 2,000 years ago?
This little book provides the antidote – but unfortunately can't force such people to recognise that they have made a mistake in the first place, and owe an apology. No book can do that. Only the Board, Stockholders and the Legal system – but the latter tends to constrain them not to say 'Sorry' to anyone!
Oh, and it applies just as well to your personal/family life as well!
Books do not have to be long and complex to have significant value, but I feel totally cheated when they take a couple pages of real information and work hard to stretch it out to the required number of pages in order to make a sale.
Shame on the authors for producing it and shame on the publishers for letting them get away with it. Maybe a competent literary agent would have prevented this from happening.
I predict this book will be in the bargain bin and quickly forgotten before the authors collect their first check.
How do I go about getting an apology from the authors of the book?
Also, it appears that Ken is running out of "material" for his next "great" book when he stoops to co-authoring with his literary agent.
