The new One-Minute Manager

Updated edition of the bestseller The One Minute Manager , with more than 5 million copies sold.

Originally released in 1981, The One Minute Manager revolutionized the concept of leadership, which became associated with agility. The One Minute Manager symbol, a one-minute mark on a digital clock face, was championed by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson to remind us to take a minute each day to look at the faces of the people we manage and realize that they are our most important assets. They are the ones who can drive better performance and productivity for the company, especially in times of adversity.

The world has changed significantly in the last four decades. People today seek greater fulfillment in work and life. They want to feel engaged and make a meaningful contribution to the world, and are less willing to trade off hours to meet specific needs. Vertical hierarchy has been replaced by side-by-side relationships. Organizations need to act faster and with fewer resources to keep up with these constant changes, as well as updates in technology and work tools.

The New One-Minute Manager understands all of this and treats his employees with the understanding of how essential they are to the organization's success. He also understands that attracting and retaining talent is a top priority. The most important thing is how to apply this new approach.

This new edition of the classic addresses a new world. The already established practical secrets—One-Minute Goals and One-Minute Compliments—have gained a third updated talent: One-Minute Redirects.

It doesn't matter if your company is a multinational, small, or medium-sized. It doesn't matter if you have few or no direct employees. The concepts of The New One-Minute Manager can be applied to any work environment, improving the quality of relationships and helping the people who work and interact with you achieve better results in less time, with less burnout, and with greater productivity and satisfaction for everyone involved. An invaluable guide for the modern executive.
