Review
The “One Minute Manager” is a classic business book that has been around for decades. It’s a quick and easy read, but don’t let its brevity fool you – it’s packed with valuable insights and practical tips for managers and leaders at all levels.
The book is divided into three parts: “One Minute Goals,” “One Minute Praisings,” and “One Minute Reprimands.” In the first part, the authors explain the importance of setting clear, measurable goals and how to do them effectively. They argue that setting goals are crucial for motivation, focus, and accountability and that the process of setting goals should be simple and straightforward.
In the second part of the book, the authors discuss the power of positive reinforcement and how to use “One Minute Praisings” to recognize and reward good performance. They argue that praise is an important tool for building trust, improving morale, and reinforcing desired behavior and that it should be given frequently and sincerely.
Finally, in the third part of the book, the authors discuss how to give “One Minute Reprimands” – brief, constructive feedback that is designed to correct behavior and improve performance. They argue that reprimands should be given privately and immediately and that they should focus on the behavior, not the person.
Overall, I found the “One Minute Manager” to be a highly practical and useful guide for managers and leaders. The authors do an excellent job of explaining their ideas in a clear and concise way, and they provide plenty of examples and anecdotes to illustrate their points. The book is well-written and easy to understand, and it offers a wealth of valuable insights and tips that can be put into action right away.
