One Minute Manager...Timeless By remmadarb
I read this book years ago when it was first published. I bought ten for my management team last month. The book is timeless and a must read for new and experienced managers that do not have enough time.

Common Sense Guide to Management By Aaron B. Powell (TX)
This is a helpful book that explains the importance of effective management as applied to a hypothetical scenario. Helping people reach their full potential and catching them doing something right are examples of the material in this text. Common sense goes a long way, but common sense isn't as common as one would expect.

Great business primer By Edmon Mapp (Pineville, LA, US)
The information in this book has helped me focus on what i need to know as a manager. Working with the different demands and needs of other personnel creates tension in your workplace.

Change your paradigm, change your life By Jim Thorp
Don't be fooled by the small number of pages in this book. There are concepts and ideas that will change your life, if you practice the allegorical suggestions presented in this small book. The revelations you'll discover, not only hold your attention, but will, if put into action, improve ALL your relationships: Professional, Family, and your relationship with yourself.

The pages of this book, have provided me one of a very few other resources in my life, that I can point to as a pivotal and mentoring experience, and has influenced and improved my professional, family, and personal growth. I highly recommend You own this wisdom.

A MUST read By adriansmessages
This has and always will be one of my most favorite books ever. It was required reading for all my sales reps when I was in sales management - AND, they were each required to answer a question sheet afterwards as well, lol. It is a small, simple read and thoroughly explains the best possible way to maintain a great and professional relationship between ANY manager and ANY employee. It is a MUST READ for anybody in the work force, expecially managers of any type!

Every manager should read this By lvtomberlin
Loaned this book to someone and never got it back so this was a replacement. Received it very quickly and in great condition. Very pleased to have it to re-read and to refer to.

Enjoyable Book About Management By Christy Wright
A brief and interesting read about management. It is not overly technical so it would benefit anyone wanting to improve their time mamagement.

A must read for all
This book is an absolute must read. It is hard to imagine that such a small and simply written book can pack such profound insights. It is a book which can be finished in one sitting, but I have actually found it worthwhile to read it a couple of times.

Is this book for the first time manager? It is definitely useful, but it is most useful for managers who have managed without this system for a while. They will clearly see a big difference very quickly on implementing this philosophy. A people friendly manager and a results oriented manager do not have to be on the opposite sides of the spectrum.

Excellent By DMK
The book states common sense approach not only to business management but also skills for everyday life. It is short and to the point and easy and quick to read.

A timeless classic By David E. McClendon
The One Minute Manager series is outstanding. This is the book that started it all. Back in the early 1980s, it was believed that two books would revolutionize the business world. The One Minute Manager is one of those two books; In Search of Excellence is the other one.

This is a quaint little talk that takes the reader on a visit to a highly effective manager's office where this manager, the One Minute Manager, teaches a young man how to be an effective manager.
