Book review: The New One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard

One Minute Manager is a short, easy-to-read story that we can learn three secrets from a person called “One Minute Manager”.

One Minute Goal Setting

The one minute manager follows the 80-20 rule that is 80% result comes from 20% of goal settings. So We can pick up 3 to 6 goals focusing on the 20%. And each goal target has to be written within 250 words which can be read out within 1 minute! 

One Minute Praising

We spent a minute explaining exactly what they did, how well I feel, and how this helps the company and its employees.

One Minute Reprimand

We need to tell them specifically what is wrong and clearly how I feel when I heard the mistake.

And we remind them we value them and clearly say that we like them and it’s all over.

By the way, the One Minute Reprimand is updated as One Minute Re-Direct.
