Since reading this book I've bought it for other people, all who seem to be stuck in a rut, or unable to move themselves forward.
It's a very quick and easy read (read it in a couple of hours) but it presents a logic that seems just that ... logical.
If you're scared of change but don't want to continue along the path that you're currently on, this book offers a great perspective. Don't be afraid of what's around the corner ...

The One Minute Manager is perfect for anybody who is just embarking on a career in management. It is a very short lesson in management, written in simple language in the form of a story about the perfect manager.
Do not let its size or lack of academic language fool you. This book is the distillate of powerful psychological and management principles, so simple and easy to remember that anybody can use them to manage effectively.
I would recommend this book to anybody who cares about effective management and about their staff and colleagues.

I was drawn to this book because it looked light and simple, and the idea of taking one minute for myself seemed to be manageable even with my crazy schedule. Well, this book delivered a lot more than what I expected! It introduced to me the possibility of having a great life when I actually stop, look, and listen to myself; By simply asking "is there a better way to take care of myself right now?" I was often amazed that there actually were lots of choices! I didn't have to repeat whatever I mechanically did in the past that did not work for me (this seems obvious but I am amazed how often it happened unawaredly.) Cool stuff!
Spencer Johnson is a great story teller and he made my reading experience fun and effortless. This reminded me of two very ... Read More:

I read the One Minute Manager series when they started 20 years ago, and didn't like the format because I couldn't relate to a Manager who was instantly available & accessible. I was accustomed to having to wait hours, and more typically days, to speak to my manager – by which time the matter had either gone away or I'd sorted it myself anyway.
Then when I was in my 40's I found myself in the position that I could be a One-Minute Manager myself, and worklife became fun. So now I find myself re-reading the One-Minute Manager series with a new perspective on worklife.
Now, why did they write this one on "Apology" – did the concept begin before or after the latest round of scandals in US business? Either way, it is trying to set ... Read More:

This easy to read book opens the door on a concept of people management hitherto unknown in the table-thumping boardrooms of Smallbusinessville. In not much more than 100 pages, Ken Blanchard shows us that getting the best out of our fellow team members is not about 'showing them who's boss', but has more to do with a system of reward and recognition designed to set goals and help people achieve those goals.
A word of warning! Reading this book may seriously change your attitudes to people management. I have already found its contents to be of real and practical help here in my own professional practice, but above all in my role as a pro-active accountant and business developer.
