A review by annashiv
The One Minute Manager by Kenneth H. Blanchard

1.0

Hated this. Mainly because it feels very manipulative, but also because it doesn't seem rooted in any science. There's no citations or studies mentioned. Not real ones anyway. It all sounds nice and seems to make sense, but people don't talk to people that way (in the way they are instructing you to). It seems mostly geared towards selling something easy to digest to as many people as possible (as evidenced by the last part which encourages you to share. Maybe my reading was tainted because my boss assigned me to read it, but I don't see this ever being truly useful to me or anyone other than making them feel like they're being a good manager.
