    • Having practiced this methodology without knowing it, I can say it works
This book is short as it is and once you remove the fluff, it could be written in a few pages, but those would be some pretty useful pages. I understand that they wanted to tell the story of the person looking for a good manager so that you could experience it for yourself. I am not sure that all of the story was really needed. However, having been a team lead of a software development team and following these same points before I knew that I was following this book, I can say that my team's productivity increased along with quality. The recommendations in this book work. I bought this book for my team and once I left and a different lead took over that went back to the old school style mentioned in this book, they quickly saw the reversal of our productivity and an increase in bugs. ... show more

    • People need to be forced to read this and pretty much only this in college/university
People need to be forced to read this and pretty much only this in college/university. They also need to write 50 different papers on it, too. Why? Because if you could get this through the thick a** heads of most "managers" and bosses out there...I guarantee you the world would be a better place simply because there would be nicer folks in it because of how well this book handles issues and staff, a great way to simply handle human beings...as actual human freakin' beings. ... show more

    • A simple read with simple messages
One minute on the clock and go! This book had interesting points as well as surprisingly brash and blunt points (e.g. the "One Minute Manager" getting upset and warning the man who came to question him not to make him repeat himself). The "One Minute Manager" claims to like people and results. The latter part is understood. However, does he really like people? It seems his personality is similar to most other managers (i.e. condescending, haughty, curt, speciously polite, etc.). Although the "One Minute Manager" needs to work on his people skills, if you peel back his (onion) layers, he seems to authentically want both his business and his people to succeed. Oh no, my minute's up. There's the door. Take care now. ;-) ... show more

    • Not what I was expecting
If you enjoy corny 80s managers training videos with bad acting, you might enjoy this book. The story follows an unnamed guy who hears about a legendary One Minute Manager, then goes to interview him and his employees. The actors are all comically unrealistic and robotic. At one point, one of the employees says something like "when I get a Praising, it builds my confidence, which turns out is very important." To which our hero replies, "Why is that so important?" Honestly, the book earns a 2nd star from me because I found it funny once I realized not to take it seriously. ... show more

    • Behavioral psychology for managers
This is a simple, though not simplistic, management book which can be read in one sitting and the message is easily understood. The principle is that by setting clear goals, praising people when you catch them doing something right (this is by far the most important takeaway from the book) and promptly reprimanding them, in an objective, matter of fact way, whenever they veer off the right path, you become an effective and efficient manager while setting people on the right path to managing themselves and eventually managing others. Though no credit is given to others for these ideas, it's clear that they are founded on the principles of positive reinforcement that come from behavioral psychology and had previously proved efficacy in fields ranging from animal training, therapy for people with disabilities (i.e. applied behavioral analysis used for autism) and various forms of mental illness, and can definitely help regular people achieve even higher levels of performance. The book is almost 30 years old and, because it's more principle centered rather than practical, I would say it has stood the test of time quite well. Given today's complex work environment, where often times responsibilities are difuse and not clearly defined, things like "one minute" goal settings should be taken in a more aspirational than in a literal way, and as long as you see it that way you can get much value out of this book. In fact many performance management systems today are already based on these ideas, so it's useful to understand them. ... show more

    • Common Sense is Not That Common
My prof for Video Game Production had this short book as required reading for the class. I really enjoyed reading this and will encourage anyone that ever has to lead a group of people to read it too. The book is told as a simple story and as you progress you are taught the principles of the One Minute Manager. As I'm reading this I'm thinking "Wow, that seems like it should just be common knowledge", but it isn't. While you or I may have thought of it, or part of it at some point, it's nice to have a quick book lay it all out for you to digest and internalize as a whole philosophy for managing any group of people. Unfortunately the majority of people that move up to the title of manager have little to no training ... managing people. My personal experience is that anyone without management training decides that managing = "cracking the whip" and then doesn't understand when he not only doesn't get the results he expected but that his entire team wishes he would die in a fire. This book should be required reading for anyone promoted to manager. ... show more

    • Still good book
Even if this book is a bit older, it does not mean that the subject is not accurate. On the contrary, this book is still up to date and worth to read. I would recommend this one to all the managers, middle managers and anyone who want to learn more about management. This is easy to read, not a text book like. It's simply style is charming and makes you want to read the next books by this same author. About the content of the book: The One Minute Manager reveals three secrets to productive and efficient managing as told through a young man's search for the perfect managing and leading skills. These three secrets are: One minute goals, one minute employee praisings, and one minute reprimand. These are all good advise for all the managers how to become a better leader and be more effective in their job. ... show more
