 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.
