The One Minute
Manager
by Ken Blanchard (Author) & Spencer Johnson (Author)
This compact edition of the
authors' 1981 bestseller is an example of how great
ideas can be made accessible in audio format. Going
beyond the premise of managing in one-minute chunks, the
broader lessons are the values that get expressed in
those minutes--such as respecting people, providing
emotional security for them, setting reasonable but
challenging goals, and expecting them to develop
excellent work habits.
There's also the value of
being concise in all communication, which confining
one's input to one-minute chunks certainly facilitates.
The lessons are both simple and profound, and are
crafted and expressed with as much elegance as any
management advice I've heard in the years since they
first appeared.
