The one minute manager - illustrated book lessons

Today's I am sharing lessons from a very short and very good book.

The book talks about three practical management techniques such as one minute goal setting, one minute praising and one minute reprimand.

The one minute goal setting technique says that each member of a team is essential to fulfil the set goals. For instance, in order to complete daily, weekly, monthly or yearly tasks, team effort is needed, and for that, individual effort matters a lot.

One minute praising technique is all about appreciation. According to this technique a manager must reward a team member for completing a specific task efficiently.

Plus, a manager could spend a minute to acknowledge a hardworking employee.

The last technique is one-minute reprimand that says that the manager has to give feedback to few members who committed mistakes in their tasks.

But the feedback must be given in polite manner so that their interpersonal relations are not affected.

Written in simple, easy-to-understand language, the book can help the readers understand how simple changes can actually work in real management situations.

This completes our 42 out of 100 great books reading challenge. We will be back with another great book next week.
