“The One Minute Manager,” by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson, is a classic business book that emphasizes simplicity and efficiency in management. It introduces a straightforward yet powerful approach to managing people by focusing on three key techniques: One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings, and One Minute Reprimands (now called One Minute Redirects).
The importance of objectives is highlighted through the concept of One Minute Goals. The book advocates for setting clear, concise objectives that both the manager and the employee can easily understand and agree upon. This ensures that everyone knows what is expected of them and can work towards those goals with clarity and purpose. By defining objectives in a way that is easy to review and discuss, the One Minute Manager helps create a more focused and productive work environment.
