Leadership and the One Minute Manager

I purchased these books so that our boss could hand them out as Christmas presents and they arrived right on time for our Christmas party. The books came in excellent condition and the price was a good one. Thank you for prompt delivery. I will purchase from you again.

One Minute is practical

The style of the book is great, it's a story. Someone discovers the method just like we would do it.
It's fiction (I suppose) but the situations are clear and the lessons are clear.
This makes the methods usefull, you understand them immediately.
Putting it into practice will require some thinking and self-training, but the principles are sound.
It's all too obvious, but in practice I see that not doing this is very unproductive.

Situationally Developmental Tool

A very effective tool in leadership and management. Clearly defines several styles of leadership, as well as several levels of "competence" among employees. This makes it quite easy to understand Blanchard's point about needing to treat different people differenlty in order to get the best result out of them. I think that is the key point, is that you are working to maximize your return on each employee.

Exactly what it says that it is.

I was asked to read this book for a Leadership Training that I'm currently attending through my employer.

This is one of those books that is kind of easy to make fun of. It isn't high literature. It is short and written very simply. It only has one focus-- to provide a clear example illustration of the author's ideas about situational leadership. It reaches that goal, and it reaches it quickly and reasonably well. The concept itself is not revolutionary at this point, but it does bear repeating.

I do think that it's kind of a racket that this 106 page book with very very big type somehow apparently retails in the hardback edition for $19.95-- this according to the dust cover on my copy. But--hey-- more power to them, right? And I'm guessing that it's mostly training firms and companies who actually pay the price.

(My star rating actually was hurt by the value-for-money issue. Otherwise I probably even would have given it four stars.)

Kind of useful. Have to admit.
