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 have all revolutionized the world in which we live and work.

This book is a quick read with common sense information that will transform the way you manage and think of the people around you.
Here are my favorite 9 quotes from The New One Minute Manager:
“People who feel good about themselves produce good results.”
“80% of your really important results will come from 20% of your goals.”
“If you can’t tell me what you’d like to be happening, you don’t have a problem yet. You’re just complaining.”
“Everyone is a potential winner.”
“…how can you be an effective manager unless you and your people are clear about goals and what good performance looks like?”
“Help people reach their full potential. Catch them doing something right.”
“Praising people doesn’t always work if it isn’t combined with Re-Directs to correct mistakes when they occur.”
“The best minute I spend is the one I invest in people.”
