About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This 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.
