Summary: Truly On-Target!
Review: I've read a number of management books, and a number of Ken Blanchard's books... this is the best of the bunch!It not only points out the results of procrastination in our business and personal lives, but gives us the tools to change them and illustrates the results we can expect.

Summary: Good ideas, dumb story
Review: Ken Blanchard's books remind me of the sappy, contrived-sounding "inspirational" stories that get forwarded thru emails. Good ideas, somewhat annoyingly told. If I didn't find his ideas helpful I wouldn't suffer through his writing style since it often makes me want to roll my eyes. I prefer the writing styles of other writers like David Allen (current favorite) and Stephen Covey - but Blanchard still has good principles to glean.

Summary: No Procastinating
Review: Procastination is a common problem that humans adopt at a workplace, bringing their effective work ratio to the bottom sometimes. Ken Blanchard has innovative ways and means to sharpen the management skills. Having read 'One Minute Manager', this book is also another master piece of Ken and Steve joining in, has great helpful hints and practical strategies any professional can adopt and act to save getting plagued from 'Procastination' The book in form of a fable makes an interesting read even for a non management buff as it almost digs into doing right things, for right person, at right time theory. Bob becomes the CEO (Chief Effectiveness Officer) in the end after he has passed through negative effects of procastination. The book character Bob always left things to be done later and this late dealing tactics only got poor quality work and stress to him and others too. Commitment is ignored and the confusion surmounts as he could not meet the deadlines, on time.Bob adopts the strategies of his company's CEO who with the three ps makes it possible for Bob, the Last-Minute Manager to be a Constructive and a Productive On Time - On Target Manager who brushes up his Executive skills and scales higher in business. A good book for Management students and all CEO (Chief Executive Officers) and Leaders who want to reach targets on time and improve their management skills for better Productivity at work and be better organized humans in life. A great Pick! Read Anytime, anywhere!

Summary: GOOD TEACHING TOOL
Review: Procrastinator Bob has some serious problems and his boss is concerned. Bob is a Last-Minute manager with no foresight and plenty of excuses. Bob's boss feels work ethics are more important than work skill; it's easier to teach a job skill to a person with work ethics than job ethics to someone with work skills. Bob has to see the CEO--the Chief Effectiveness Officer. This type of CEO teaches Bob how to be on time and effective in his job. With the "3-P strategy" and some personal experiences, Bob learns to be a better worker and a better person. Blanchard and Gottry show managers and workers how to prioritize and be on time. Following these lessons will, without a doubt, improve one's job and life. I own a business and appreciate the wisdom these authors are sharing. At the same time, I thought how much this kind of advice would help our young people before they hit the work force. _The On-Time, On-Target Manager_ may be a business book about managing, but I recommend it to anyone teaching high school and college students, especially the business classes. Written in a simple fiction-like manner, this is a book anyone can understand.

Summary: Effective Solutions to Procrastination
Review: So many business books deal with solutions to every day problems in terms that are confusing - so confusing that most people just can't quite understand how to apply the thoughts and suggestions to their own lives. This book takes a common dilemma, procrastination, and by using a story manages to share effective remedies for conquering this frustrating habit. Thank you Ken and Steve for being able to share ideas on how to approach a problem that every business leader faces - how to manage procrastination in the workplace. And thanks for knowing that many individuals will want to attack this problem on their own and can easily appreciate where to begin after reading your book.

Summary: Simple parable, effective learning
Review: Story telling is a very effective way of driving home powerful lessons. Regardless of age, the human mind retains the "moral of the story". Ken Blanchard gives us another story, another hero and another lesson. Easy to read and remember, this book will be helpful to most of us. It is important to realize how postponing of seemingly unimportant and routine tasks like filling up gas can lead to a snowballing effect on the really critical issues on hand. Though the book starts with a note the you may not fall into the category of Bob, the "Last Minute Manager", we do tend to be Bobs to some extent some times and to a large extent many times. Lateness, poor quality of work and stress, form the vicious circle of procrastination that needs to be broken. Three hours is worth the time to read this book to understand the three P's that can pull us out of this trap and make a significant difference to our lives at home and at work.
