The One Minute Manager is a short book by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. The brief volume tells a story, recounting three techniques of an effective manager: one minute goals, one minute praisings, and one minute reprimands. Each of these takes only a minute but is purportedly of lasting benefit.[1] Shortly after publication the book became a New York Times bestseller.[2]The One Minute Manager has sold 15 million copies and been translated into 47 languages.[3]
The book was followed by a sequel, Leadership and the One Minute Manager: A Situational Approach to Leading Others, by Ken Blanchard, Patricia Zigarmi and Drea Zigarmi, which laid out Blanchard's SLII® concept.[4]
New Edition
An updated edition of the book, The New One Minute Manager, was published in 2015.[5] In the new edition, the third technique, the one minute reprimand, was changed to the one minute re-direct.
Criticism
The concept has been called a management fad, and derivative of management by objectives, itself derived from the business planning literature.[6] One critic called it "the executive equivalent of paper-training your dog."[7]
Praise
The One Minute Manager has been widely praised for its universal appeal and for reducing esoteric management theory into simple, actionable techniques.[8][9]Time magazine cited it as one of the 25 Most Influential Business Management Books.[10]
Controversies
In 2001 the Wall Street Journal ran an article noting that The One Minute Manager bore a resemblance to an article written by Blanchard's former colleague, Arthur Elliot Carlisle.[11][12] Carlisle's allegations of plagiarism were never proven.
