The One Minute Manager-Kenneth Blanchard & Spencer Johnson
Firstly I would like to say that this isn't the first book I'm reading because it is numbered so. It happens to be the last book I've finished so far. I will try to cover reviews about the books I've read years ago at least for me to keep track of the books I've read. And if it helps spread the word about an enjoyable book, I'd be doubly delighted. Also every post will cover a few lines about the Author's background and such details that I feel worth noting.
The One Minute Manager is not just for Managers, it has lessons for anybody who have to work with people, and, well that's everyone. It is a book that's highly recommended for people in the managerial positions and the ones climbing up the corporate ladder. But that doesn't mean that others can't put to use the principles underlying the book.
The crux of the book is about the Three secrets to One minute management or a person who calls him/herself a One Minute Manager. The three being-
1. One minute goals
2. One minute praising
3. One minute reprimands
AND, the reasons why they will work, comparative examples to clarify the working of these secrets. Thus anyone reading it will not have any question or doubt unanswered in the end. This simple, easy to read 100 page book has a phenomenal effect on your attitude towards co-workers, colleagues and even at a student level. Don't miss it out, regardless of your age.
The authors, who are Ph.D holders, are basically into mentoring, training, consulting, educating & authoring of several other books too. It is worth applauding that these eminent personalities have delved into behavioral sciences and sought help from experts in this field, which you can very well know from the acknowledgement given by them in the book. They haven't stopped with this one and I'm glad about it.
