Summary: THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER ISN'T STALLED
Review: The first time I read The One Minute Manager, I remember thinking "If only I could remember all these good ideas and what to say and what questions to ask". On rereading it, I can say "Yes, I do these things naturally". That is why the book is so powerful. It describes what effective people in business do naturally. Why then should so many people reread it and share it with their friends and children? The answer is simple - With today's daily pressures, people take too many short cuts and those short cuts along the bumpy road get us stalled. "The 2,000 Percent Solution" by Donald Mitchell, Carol Coles and Robert Metz talks about these "stalls" that keep us from succeeding. These "stalls" are caused by poor Communications (the message is not understood), Disbelief (We can't do it), Tradition (We've always done it this way), Bureaucracy (too many unproductive policies and procedures), Misconception (based on poor assumptions), Unattractiveness (Not wanting to wade in murky waters) and Procrastination (We can do it tomorrow, and maybe it will get better before then). The One Minute Manager takes us back to the basics of being a good manager. "The 2,000 Percent Solution" shows The One Minute Manager how to grow his or her business by 20 times the normal rate. Both are needed.

Summary: This is the business primer.
Review: This book should be required reading for all business school students. This book should be read and reread. In my writings, in my consulting and in my family, I use the principles described in The One Minute Manager. It simply and elegantly shows us how to teach, how to communicate and how to win. It is a wonderful model for all executives to ensure becoming more successful.

Summary: You can be Serious with this book!
Review: After 20 years of getting my MBA and working in the consultingfield for just that long, I can tell you that this book is way tooartificial and misleading. I wish this book will not paint the wrong picture of management. It over-simplifies human nature and the art of management. If you believe this is the way to run a business, a factory or a classroom, you are dead wrong. For general readers, Cohen's book "The Art of the Leader" is probably worth your while.

Summary: Written like a childrens Barney book but effective
Review: If you're into the straight-forward approach, this book will drive you nuts. It's written in a mentor/student past experiences story structure. Comparable to a Chicken Soup of the Managerial Soul book, but without the emotional involvement. After reading a few chapters of "then the young man asks the seasoned managerial veteran... so are you saying respect gets results?", it's gets a little old. The technique behind the story makes it worth reading the very few pages this book is comprised of.
Rating:

Summary: Simple yet fantastic!!!!
Review: While at times I found the book to be a simplification of the real world, I did find it to portray usable techniques for managing people. The basic premise is sound. Basically, a reiteration of Christ's Golden Rule. The book was well writen flowing in a story-like fashion. I read it in two hours. It followed it's own advice and did not repeat itself endlessly. It just made total common sense. I loved it.
