highly recommended

simple but great

OMM is an oversimplified version of how to lead people. It applies not only to work, but to parenting, relationships in a church, or anywhere else. While it is simple, it is profound. I read this book about once a year as a refresher. It is a must-read. Sometimes the writing is a bit corny, but look past that to get the message, which is simply the best way to lead people. I also recommend the "One Minute Manager and the Monkey."

This is reality!

1 minute goal, 1 minute praising, and 1 minute reprimand can help you not only on your career but also in your personal life. This is a short book and very easy to read. The main idea is knowing what your outcome, catching people doing things right, catching people doing things wrong. Simple but convincing. At the end of the book, it does explain why these things work and why people function these way. Pleasure reading in 2 hours. Very helpful and practical!

For the CD audio book version, it also includes an interview with Dr. Spencer Johnson about where did the 1 minute manager's idea come from and how did Dr. Johnson apply the idea on his daily life.

Simple, Elegant and Thought provoking

A very good and thought provoking book. We overlook the obvious every day. Blanchard and Johnson have explained the fundamental secrets ("One minute Goal setting", "One minute Praising" and " One minute Reprimanding")in a very engaging way. I recommend everybody, especially managers to read this book .This is not a mere management book, the secrets explained in this book could be applied to our personal lives.

A must read for every manager

I read this book when I first started working, and now ask all of my managers to read it when they first get promoted. Nothing complex in the message but it is all very true and helpful for new managers and old alike.

Too long for simple advice

Cute allegory, but too long for the advice the author is trying to present. I purchased the CD so I can utilize my travel time, but purchasing the book may have been a better option so I could skim through the text, find the useful advice, and skip the unnecessary filler. While trying to learn how to become a more effective manager I don't need cute allegory. Overall, I would recommend it to new and upcoming managers and supervisors.
