Review: A Simple, Timeless Leadership Book That Delivers Quick, Practical Lessons - The New One Minute Manager is a great book if you’re looking for a straightforward guide to leading people without overcomplicating things. What I liked most is how simple the principles are — one-minute goals, one-minute praises, and one-minute redirects. The book breaks each one down in a way that makes it easy to understand and even easier to start using immediately. The story format makes the lessons stick. Instead of feeling like a dense management manual, it reads more like a short parable with clear takeaways. It reminded me that good leadership doesn’t always need big systems or complicated strategies — sometimes the smallest, most consistent habits make the biggest difference. This book also made me reflect on how I communicate. The focus on being clear, direct, positive, and quick with feedback is something I’ve been trying to incorporate more. It also shows you how to reduce stress by setting expectations upfront instead of reacting to problems later. If there’s one drawback, it’s that the book is very short and stays at a high level. If you’re looking for deep explanations or detailed case studies, this isn’t that type of book. But as a leadership refresher or a starting point for someone new to managing people, it’s incredibly effective. Overall, The New One Minute Manager is a simple, practical, timeless guide that helps you lead more clearly and more confidently. A quick read with lessons that stick.
Review: Good to add additional tools - The book was solid and gave me good things to think about. Its worth a read even from the perspective of giving you some additional tools to work with. Even if you don't apply the thoughts 100% fully, it will definitely give most people something to take away especially about the development of your employees.

The three one-minute techniques: one-minute goals, one-minute praises, one-minute reprimands. One-minute goals are explicit goals, written on one sheet of paper, in 250 words or less. And then each worker shares their goals with their manager. These are really "one-page goals", not "one-minute goals". In my experience, it takes tens of minutes to write them, and several iterations to make them good and useful. Also, it helps to share them with more people. One company I worked for had us publish our goals on an internal web page so that everyone could co-ordinate better. Indeed, one-minute goals are strikingly similar to the OKR technique (Objectives and Key Results). However, as this book was first published in 1981, the authors deserve credit for describing this technique so early. The key point of one-minute praises is to give them as soon as the manager notices the praiseworthy behavior, not wait days or weeks or months. This way, the manager shows they are paying attention to the positives (people like to be noticed in a positive way), and the behavior-reward cycle is much tighter. And a key point of one-minute reprimands is: reprimand the behavior, not the person. All of this works much better for some people more than others. Of course, managers exercise choice about whom they hire. This book devotes only half of one page to hiring. My advice is to keep the other tenets of this book in mind when you are interviewing and hiring people, so that you hire people that work well in this framework. This book is short: 112 pages with small pages and a lot of white space. That's fine. However, it is written in the form of a parable. That makes it easy reading, but it means the book just blandly states that the One Minute Manager (who does not have a name) obviously has the most efficient division, the best employees that other divisions are constantly recruiting for their own managers, and so on. So take it with a grain of salt. Still, overall, this much good advice is worth reading. It won't take much time, and the cover price of a good book is negligible compared to the time you put into it and the insight you get out of it.
