 A One Minute readable with a great context book August 6, 2008
I read this book in my last year in university. I was a senior management student and after reading this book, I understood that during the past four years; I was not introduced to Ken Blanchard, and this masterpiece book.
I will keep it short. This book is actually not a book, it is an advisor when you need one, it is a friend who approves or shows you what to do in some common, but real life situations in business life. This book, I suggest, should be read by everybody (not necessarily only by managers or supervisors or employees but everyone who lives a social life) because it teaches you how to communicate with people. It is so easy to read, and one should read after and after so that the principles and ways are embedded and implemented by the readers. Thank you Ken Blanchard and his co-authors for writing this book.
This is an awesome book! August 3, 2008
I think everyone should read this book. This is a book you can read in about 45 minuets (so you dont get lost, or never get a chance to finish it) and very readable (in-fact the book is in a story format. There are many valuable lessons you can take with you, for people management, for managing yourself, it can even help with child discipline! This book is a classic must read!
Good book short read July 4, 2008
This is a great book to read, It makes you think about your management style. It does not take long to read an should make you a better manager at the same time. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a manager.
Three Powerful Secrets June 30, 2008
I just reread this great little primer on management and found it just as helpful as I did fifteen years ago. While its concepts are simple, they are also quite effective IF managers (including teachers, parents, and front-line supervisors) would implement them correctly. The three secrets of one-minute goal setting, one-minute praisings,and one-minute reprimands are based on sound behavioral principles and are bound to work as long as certain guidelines are met. For instance, goals should be realistic and specific, praisings should be sincere and immediate, and reprimands should end with a bit of encouragement. I love the idea of managers walking around trying to catch people doing things right. What a refreshing idea!
Read the book and apply the principles in your home, office, or factory. While the three guidelines won't solve every human relations problem, they offer sound, practical advice that will lay the foundation for effectiveness.
