The One Minute Manager

By Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson

It was a few years back when I first read this book but something prompted me to take a second look. I've decided to become a "One-Minute Teacher" - I've just made it up but I'm going to try and put into practice the One Minute Goal Settings, One Minute Praise and One Minute Reprimand with my class. I've been struggling of late with a certain few of children for various reasons. At this point I think anything is worth giving a go. So here I go...

Behind his success lie just three secrets.
The leaders of American and Japanese industry have made this book compulsary reading for all their managers. You can't afford to miss out.
