4 out of 5 starsSituationally Developmental Tool
A very effective tool in leadership and management. Clearly defines several styles of leadership, as well as several levels of "competence" among employees. This makes it quite easy to understand Blanchard's point about needing to treat different people differenlty in order to get the best result out of them. I think that is the key point, is that you are working to maximize your return on each employee.



5 out of 5 starsLeadership and the One Minute Manager
I purchased these books so that our boss could hand them out as Christmas presents and they arrived right on time for our Christmas party. The books came in excellent condition and the price was a good one. Thank you for prompt delivery. I will purchase from you again.



4 out of 5 starsOne Minute is practical
The style of the book is great, it's a story. Someone discovers the method just like we would do it.
It's fiction (I suppose) but the situations are clear and the lessons are clear.
This makes the methods usefull, you understand them immediately.
Putting it into practice will require some thinking and self-training, but the principles are sound.
It's all too obvious, but in practice I see that not doing this is very unproductive.



4 out of 5 starsLeadership
4 Stars.

Leadership and the One Minute manager, by Ken Blanchard, Patricia Zigarmi, and Drea Zigarmi, is a great book on leadership methods. In particular, Blanchard's "Situational Leadership 2"(tm) model is an outstanding description of effective leadership approaches. The idea that your approach to leadership should depend not only on the individual(s) you're leading, but also on the context (i.e. - the situation) of leadership is sadly overlooked by many other theories/philosophies on leadership.

Admittedly, Blanchard's parable style approach to the matter is a little hokey, and some of the dialogue is contrived. Nonetheless, this book sends a message that many of today's leaders and managers would do well to pay attention to.

Also recomended are Blanchard's other One Minute Manager books, particularly:

- The One Minute Manager, with Spencer Johnson, and

- The One Minute Manager Builds High Performance Teams, with Donald Carew and Eunice Parisi Carew.



4 out of 5 starsLeadership - developed, not appointed
Very good book for any one that supervises or directs employees. Primarily for a manager with salaried employees, but applicable for first line supervisor of hourly.

This book examines different levels of ability, and the different responses required to deal with different conduct/performances.
