"The One Minute Manager" by Ken Blanchard is a terrible management book that everyone at InsideTrack talks about. It is written as a story about a young man who visits a wise older manager who is rude and condescending but also decides to bestow his gifts of management expertise upon this young moldable man.
The tenanents of a One Minute Manager are One Minute Goal Setting where you write a goal down in 250 words or less to make sure your employee can understand what their task is in a detailed yet concise manner. Second, is the One Minute Praise where you catch someone doing something right at the beginning of working on a new goal and you make sure to draw bring it to their attention by touching them on the shoulder and looking them in the eyes and telling them what they did right. Finally, the One Minute Reprimand happens when the employee should know what they are supposed to be doing and you basically call them out on their shit and touch them while doing this.
Don't read this book. It is weird and it require awkward touching.
