Why you should read More Than a Minute
Holly G. Green capably covers basic leadership and management, and stresses the importance of communication, honesty, feedback and goal setting. Her book, while not particularly innovative, will help novice managers set objectives and meet them by working with the people they lead. Green’s goal, as former president of The Ken Blanchard Companies, is to expand on the advice Blanchard gave in his classic, One Minute Manager, decades ago – hence, her book’s title. Green’s counsel on dealing with problematic employees will be particularly useful to beginners. Experienced managers and leaders are undoubtedly familiar with this material, even if they aren’t updating it or putting it into practice, and that is where getAbstract thinks this back-to-basics, contemporary manual might spur them to action.
