Brief description of 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 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.

Comments by amazon customers about The One Minute Manager

Love the One Minute Manager
I just finished reading the One Minute Manager, and I loved it! In fact, I've started adapting and reading it for my 6-year old. This should be required reading for every kid in school - it would help them to develop success strategies early in life that could follow them forever. As an adult, it is very difficult to change, even when confronted with an excellent idea - like the One Minute Manager. I am, however, going to work on this concept and try to implement it on a daily basis as I work with my staff, my child, my husband, my church, etc. I'll hardly know how to act with all the extra time! Thanks!


fundamental guide for managers
easy to follow, short to read, a lot to learn. The best simple fundamental guide to management.

okay, not great
It has very basic concepts and to me, it is written in a condescending style. Having said that, I did get some value from what the book had to say, so I wouldn't tell somebody not to get it, I would just have your expectations not set too high.

Enjoy Managing Again
I am an office manager for several departments in a college, I deal with multiple personalities, multi-tasks, multi-administrators with different schedules. This book simplifies the management duties, with common sense, and simple solutions, plus it's short and easy to read.

At least it is short
"The One Minute Manager" purports to give the reader instructions on managing work and life. It does that, but the advise is so obvious and the instruction so superficial as to make reading even this short volume a waste of time. The advise is to give employees clear instructions, then praise them when they do well, and reprimand them when they do not. That is nearly the whole book. Now you don't have to read it. While this advise seems correct to me, it is also very obvious. I would think that any manager who does not already know this needs more help then this book can provide. In any case the book can not do much harm since it is short.
