Quick Praise Gets Results

by David Meyer

To motivate your staff members – and to get the results you want – catch people doing something right and praise them immediately and in public.

Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson first earned best-selling attention and management guru status with this short volume of pithy advice published in 1982.

They begin with a young man who is trying to figure out what makes a manager effective. He compared tough bosses who emphasize results with “nice” bosses who emphasize people. Deciding which priority works best stymies him until he meets the “One Minute Manager,” a leader who supports both employees and outcomes.
