    About this ebook

    A revised edition of the timeless business classic—updated to help today’s readers succeed more quickly in a rapidly changing world.

    For decades, The One Minute Manager® has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles it lays out are timeless, our world has changed drastically since the book’s publication. The exponential rise of technology, global flattening of markets, instant communication, and pressures on corporate workforces to do more with less—including resources, funding, and staff—have all revolutionized the world in which we live and work.

    Now, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson have updated The One Minute Manger to introduce the book’s powerful, important lessons to a new generation. In their concise, easy-to-read story, they teach readers three very practical secrets about leading others—and explain why these techniques continue to work so well.

    As compelling today as it was thirty years ago, this classic parable of a young man looking for an effective manager is more relevant and useful than ever.

    Editor's Note

    Concise & rewarding…

    This revised classic will improve your relationships and increase your team’s productivity. Provides concise and actionable advice on how to set achievable goals and foster open communication.

      This 2015 book updates the original One Minute Manager text from 1986 (which I read a few months ago). The new book has many things in common with the old one, including the same format, much of the same text, and the same basic One Minute Secrets to successful management. Today, however, Blanchard and Johnson no longer recommend that managers touch subordinates while giving One Minute Re-Directs (name changed from One Minute Reprimand in the original). The new edition is a quick read with much practical advice. I'd recommend that managers read this new version, rather than the original.

    The New One Minute Manager - Ken Blanchard

    The Search

    ONCE there was a bright young man who was looking for a special kind of manager who could lead and manage in today’s changing world.

    He wanted to find one who encouraged people to balance their work and their life, so that each became more meaningful and enjoyable.

    He wanted to work for one and he wanted to become one.

    His search had taken him over many years to the far corners of the world.

    He had been in small towns and in the capitals of powerful nations.

    He had spoken with many managers who were trying to deal with a rapidly changing world: executives and entrepreneurs, government administrators and military personnel, university presidents and foundation directors; with managers of shops and stores, of restaurants, banks, and hotels; with men and women—young and old.

    He had gone into every kind of office, large and small, luxurious and sparse, with windows and without.

    He was beginning to see the full spectrum of how people manage people.

    But he wasn’t always pleased with what he saw.

    He had seen many tough managers whose organizations seemed to win while the people working there lost.

    Some thought they were good managers. Many thought otherwise.

    As the young man sat in each of these tough people’s offices, he asked, What kind of a manager would you say you are?

    Their answers varied only slightly.

    I’m a bottom-line manager—I keep on top of the situation, he was told. Hard-nosed. Realistic. Profit-minded.

    They said they had always managed that way and saw no reason to change.

    He heard the pride in their voices and their interest in results.

    The young man also met many nice managers whose people seemed to win while their organizations lost.

    Some of the people who reported to them thought they were good managers.

    Those to whom they reported had their doubts.

    As the young man sat and listened to these nice people answer the same question, he heard:

    I’m a participative manager. Supportive. Considerate. Humanistic.

    They also said they had always managed that way and saw no reason to change.

    He heard the pride in their voices and their interest in people.

    But he was disturbed.

    It was as though most managers in the world were still managing the way they had always done and were primarily interested either in results or in people.

    Managers who were interested in results often seemed to be labeled autocratic, while the ones interested in people were often labeled democratic.

    The young man thought each of these types—the tough autocrat and the nice democrat—was only partially effective. It’s like being half a manager, he thought.

    He returned home tired and discouraged.

    He might have given up his search long ago, but he had one great advantage. He knew exactly what he was looking for.

    In these changing times, he thought, the most effective managers manage themselves and the people they work with so that both the people and the organization profit from their presence.

    The young man had looked everywhere for an effective manager but had found only a few. The few he did find would not share their secrets with him. He began to think maybe he would never find what he was looking for.

    Then he began hearing marvelous stories about a special manager who lived, surprisingly, in a nearby town. He heard that people liked to work for this man and that they produced great results together.

    He also heard that when people applied the manager’s principles to their personal lives, they got great results as well.

    He wondered if the stories were really true and, if so, whether this person would be willing to share his secrets with him.

    Curious, he phoned the assistant to this special manager to see if he might get an appointment. To his surprise, the assistant put him through to the manager immediately.

    The young man asked when he might be able to meet with him, and the manager said, Anytime this week is fine, except Wednesday morning. You pick the time.

    The young man was puzzled. What kind of manager had that kind of time available? But he was fascinated as well, and went to see him.

    The New One Minute Manager

    WHEN the young man arrived at the Manager’s office, he found him looking out the window. The Manager turned and invited him to sit down. What can I do for you?

    "I’ve heard great things about you and would like to know more about the way you
