The New One Minute Manager: The best-selling management handbook for aspiring leaders and executives

Very simply expressed advice which is particularly helpful for newly appointed managers, perhaps administering (and praising and disciplining) staff for the first time. Ignore the Americanisms... good advice is at the core here. And it's a mercifully concise book. Good for early stage development of time management, and managing meetings and calls on your time.

It's been many a year since I read this book, having first bought a copy years ago when I first got thrown into management. It stuck with me, useful info for me at the time, which I did use to a degree. My daughter having been thrown into a management role, with not a lot of experience under the belt, I searched and was happy to find an updated version that I've gifted to her now. Hopefully, she actually reads it lol, and does get some good advice and use out of it as I did back then.

There is a difference between a LEADER and a MANAGER. While I believe that a leader guides a team and a manager deals with systems and procedures, great companies are run when both qualities are found by the people on top. In this book, in a form of an encounter, 3 principles of good management are being shared. When one gets to implement it in his work, one can potentially reap the benefits of high productivity in the work environment.

This is a must have book for anyone who’s started their own business and looking to employ and develop their team. The story may be a little odd at times but principals in this book are absolutely sound and really work. I feel like the person writing the book held back slightly - but it doesn’t really matter, if every business managed their teams in this way, the world would be a much better place.

This is a really accessible way to understand 3 key elements of management, the author takes us through a story, charting the journey of a new manager finding out the secrets of the successful “One-Minute Manager” who provides mentoring to him. The book describes three techniques that a manager can employ, these are not ground breaking but are often overlooked, with excuses like not enough time coming up – this book suggests these are not time consuming activities…so no excuses!

Most of the 'new manager' books I've read cover the same topics. I didn't gel with how this was written - it's a story of a young man going round a team, speaking to its members and the manager himself. I've found other books more helpful.

A great book for team leadership

Simple message well explained.

Manager ne s'apprend pas, et je pense que tout nouveau manager devrait lire ce livre. Très facile, peu long et rédigé sous forme d'une histoire, il permet de se faire une bonne idée de ce qu'est le management et de comment résoudre les conflits et gérer les motivations des équipes. En plus il lie les exemples concrets avec la théorie, et formule des "modèles" de management qui permettent de bien structurer sa pensée. Très enrichissant.

Excellent read

Good

Lovely to read this brief but effective view of the most important guidelines for management. A must read in business school

Easy and quick read. Great for non book readers. Great for youth starting work. Was a book in a list of required ready when I was in an office. Bought several for high school graduates. Good advice for getting things done in a leadership position.
