The One Minute Manager - Highly Recommended!

The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson, is a quick and easy read for people interested in simple and basic management skills. It provides insightful information for those interested in practical management techniques. Originally published in 1982, The One Minute Manager has become an "international sensation" as companies and small businesses around the globe have used it to increase productivity and overall job satisfaction. Short and concise, with simple lessons and motivational suggestions, such as "Help people reach their full potential...Catch them doing something right" while applying the one minute praise technique, has helped many people (including myself) in management as well as in their daily lives.
When I first picked up this book, I was attracted to its small size and simple format. On the cover it said "The All-Time #1 Bestseller on Managing Your Work and Life". I figured it had to have some useful information in it to be able to claim itself as the "World's Most Popular Management Method." After opening the cover, I noticed all the testimonials from various companies, which gave it credibility (in my mind), so I decided to buy the book and write my own review. Inside the book, suggested one minute praisings, one minute reprimands and one minute goals (known as the 3 secrets) to it's readers. In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed reading its content and have made an effort in using its advice.
It's no wonder why this book has become a business classic. I give it two thumbs up!
