reflection of “the one minute manager”
The book “the one minute manager” as I felt is basically a journey for a beginner to ultimately become as efficient as a highly acclaimed manager of an efficient team. Once you start reading the book, you put yourself in the place of the young man even without realizing the same. As a reader I started getting the feel that everyone who gets a chance to work with the famous “one minute manager” in the book, gets trained to become a “one minute manager ” by themselves at one point of their career and that is the prime success of this approach. The reason that the recipe of becoming a “one minute manager” is so successful lies in its simple yet effective approach. Strategies like “one minute goals”, “one minute praising” and “one minute redirects” are not only good theoretically but also even better in dealing with practical situations because they are specific, on-time, justified and most importantly guide you more towards the solution rather staying behind with the issue itself. Though none of the strategies will sound alien or completely revolutionary, the simple solution is the best solution to deal at the workplace and the book says nothing more than that.
