For more than twenty years, millions of managers in Fortune 500 companies and small businesses nationwide have followed The One Minute Manager's techniques, thus increasing their productivity, job satisfaction, and personal prosperity. These very real results were achieved through learning the management techniques that spell profitability for the organization and its employees. The One Minute Manager is a concise, easily read story that reveals three very practical secrets: One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings, and One Minute Reprimands. The book also presents several studies in medicine and the behavioral sciences that clearly explain why these apparently simple methods work so well with so many people. By the book's end you will know how to apply them to your own situation and enjoy the benefits. That's why The One Minute Manager has continued to appear on business bestseller lists for more than two decades, and has become an international sensation.

TLDR: Make sure everyone knows the goal, then give them constant, quick & specific feedback. 

The book is shallow and brief. Some people might like it because of that. It's about one minute goal setting (concise goals made visible), one minute praise and one minute reprimands.

Critique: the book doesn't talk enough about empowerment of team members; instead the manager is perceived as an absent foreman, rather than a leader or coach.

There was some useful information in here, but the way it was written was so hard to get through that it made it difficult to focus on anything of interest. I also feel like a lot of the information in here is just... painfully obvious. If you have been a manager, or have ever had a manager, then you probably already know the vast majority of what’s in here
