 A few minutes well spent October 31, 2008

The One Minute Manager is perfect for anybody who is just embarking on a career in management. It is a very short lesson in management, written in simple language in the form of a story about the perfect manager.
Do not let its size or lack of academic language fool you. This book is the distillate of powerful psychological and management principles, so simple and easy to remember that anybody can use them to manage effectively.
I would recommend this book to anybody who cares about effective management and about their staff and colleagues.

I didnt get this book at all. I dont understand what all the fuss is about. Its not a very brillant style of writing. I have read "who moved my cheese" and was not impressed either.
I don't understand why its a bestseller.
Good one subject book that is quick to read April 15, 2007

Quite sensible contents. I think the book is best for people who haven't studied much about leadership but are interested of that. After reading One Minute Manager you might know will you want to study more about leadership or not. Book could be more detailed, but that would lead book to be something else than quick to read. I quess this book is best on plane, train etc vehicle or place where you need to wait for a while and you dont want to read magazine.
Good, but very light on content January 26, 2007

This is a good, fast paced read. It can be read in about an hour. It contains very basic people management skills information, wrapped into a story. The basis of the story is that there is a manager who can restrict his contact with colleagues to one minute bursts and be the most effective manager in the organisation. A newcomer learns the skills and represents the reader in the story. Most managers you know have read this book, so if you have not, buy it and read it tomorrow - must keep up with the competition!

This is one of my favorite books. It is geniusly simple, respectful and powerful. I was surprised to find out that I can easily apply the 3 principles in almost every relationship. So many people around deserve to be praised and taught a lesson and it is very important HOW you will do it because the final result can be very positive or just the opposite. It is a very valuable book which is very well written and is a fast read. I also highly recommend the other books from the One Minute Manager series because every book has a lot to offer and they will be especially helpful if you are in a business environment.
