• Review:

  "When most people become a manager for the first time, they are more than a little unsure of themselves. Naturally, they often use speech and ways of doing things that they have seen others use. That's great if their role models are good, but can be terrible otherwise... The One Minute Manager provides a positive role model for those who have not yet seen one, and good reinforcement for those who have not seen one lately... If you want to go beyond The One Minute Manager to get even better results, you will have to learn and use other

  But you can have all the great ideas in the world, and if you annoy and stifle everyone around you, not much will happen. So think of this book as necessary for more success, but not sufficient in and of itself for getting the utmost benefits in working with others."
