The New One Minute Manager

by Spencer Johnson and Ken Blanchard

In “The New One Minute Manager,” Spencer Johnson and Ken Blanchard present a modern method of employee management designed to maximize efficiency and increase employee satisfaction.

We learn about three “secrets” designed to ensure that employees get the best out of themselves through personal responsibility: 

  • The one-minute goal: to ensure that employees and managers have the same understanding of the employees’ objectives.
  • The one-minute praise: leaders should find as many opportunities as possible to praise their employees for goal-oriented behavior.
  • The one-minute correction: to put an employee back on the right track if they have made a mistake, and at the same time praise them for their positive qualities.

As with all Spencer Johnson books, the content is wrapped up in the framework of a short story, which helps to make it easier to remember. The book is entertaining, instructive, and inspiring, and it is a recommendation for anyone who wants to lead employees successfully in today’s world.
