Another refresher read as I plan to share this with my team as I want them to grasp the concepts of situational leadership。 It’s a great model I just don’t need the parable， personally。 I’ve not read anything else in the collection other than one minute manager but wouldn’t dismiss them as a learning tool

It’s not that this book doesn’t have something helpful to share: it does。 It’s just that there is so much here that。。。 isn’t。 The basic information is summed up in two very clear flow charts: one on leadership styles， and another on the development levels of those you lead。 These flow charts are helpful and concise。 Unfortunately， they are presented as part of a fiction narrative between two main characters。 Most of this book is the “One Minute Manager，” CEO of several fictional companies， leadi It’s not that this book doesn’t have something helpful to share: it does。 It’s just that there is so much here that。。。 isn’t。 The basic information is summed up in two very clear flow charts: one on leadership styles， and another on the development levels of those you lead。 These flow charts are helpful and concise。 Unfortunately， they are presented as part of a fiction narrative between two main characters。 Most of this book is the “One Minute Manager，” CEO of several fictional companies， leading “The Entrepreneur” through various conversations with fictional employees， who testify to the One Minute Manager’s effectiveness in leading them differently based on their roles， experience， and development levels。 Few will need this in order to better understand two flow charts。 Instead， it comes across as condescending and frustrating。 So， the content itself is probably worth more than two stars， but the presentation brings it right back down。 。。。more

Eye opening book that all leaders should read。 Old book， but relevant as ever。

Not bad。 Very practical information。 I like the conversational type of the book; it made me imagine like im just having a good conversation with the author。It lacks the importance of data research and the current trends。 Still， it is a good primer for lost and confused entrepreneurs。I read the updated edition。

This is a great， quick-read substitute for those who would like to learn the time tested Situational Leadership II model， but do not have the ability to attend a workshop。 Written in a light hearted storyline （no literary genius here） it makes the content easily digestible for adult learners。

Before reading this book， I've read on Wikipedia that there were many studies that disproved Blanchard's SLII theory。 I am surprised by that， since it seems to me like SLII does have some valid points and that it would work well on the long run， whereas those studies just seem to be nitpicking。 Indeed， this book does contain some interesting ideas， but overall it's just so boring and badly written。 The main problem is how every single sentence gets repeated over and over again throughout the who Before reading this book， I've read on Wikipedia that there were many studies that disproved Blanchard's SLII theory。 I am surprised by that， since it seems to me like SLII does have some valid points and that it would work well on the long run， whereas those studies just seem to be nitpicking。 Indeed， this book does contain some interesting ideas， but overall it's just so boring and badly written。 The main problem is how every single sentence gets repeated over and over again throughout the whole book – it's like every single page contains the same few sentences merely rearranged into a slightly different order！ Also， the example with the school teachers makes no sense and there is no way something like that would happen in real life！ 。。。more

Очень лаконичная и ясная книга。 Если подрезюмировать её суть - в большинстве случаев， ваш сотрудник， партнёр， любой контрагент по деловым и не только процессам - это инструмент。 Как инструмент он не плохой， и не хороший， он просто на определённом уровне качества способен выполнять некоторые необходимые вам функции。И тут максимально важно подобрать к этому человеку правильный способ руководства。 Не забивать микроскопом гвозди， не носить воду решетом。 Не требовать того， что человек по той или иной Очень лаконичная и ясная книга。 Если подрезюмировать её суть - в большинстве случаев， ваш сотрудник， партнёр， любой контрагент по деловым и не только процессам - это инструмент。 Как инструмент он не плохой， и не хороший， он просто на определённом уровне качества способен выполнять некоторые необходимые вам функции。И тут максимально важно подобрать к этому человеку правильный способ руководства。 Не забивать микроскопом гвозди， не носить воду решетом。 Не требовать того， что человек по той или иной причине не в состоянии сделать。 А командовать， наставлять， поддерживать， а позже и доверять в нужном русле。 Иногда меняя стили， иногда чередуя， а иногда и прекращая сотрудничество。 Это тоже иногда полезно， причём для обоих сторон。Всё это изложено максимально просто， сжато и по делу。 Читается быстро。 Рекомендую не пропускать。 。。。more

Sometimes books could just be leaflets。 The story element of this book worked way too hard and was so full of waffle。 The actual useful content of the book could be fit onto two pages。 Still， a very easy read， did a few pages a day while I waited for the laptop to boot up。

There is nothing wrong with the leadership model in this book but it could have been concisely explained in a short paper。 I detest the storytelling style deployed。 Painful and patronising。

Short but rich。 Take away respect the differences and split the those when leading and developing people in their journey。

I've met the Hersey-Blanchard model about Situational Leadership before and always found it a little bit hard to follow。 This book however explains it very clearly straight from the original creators mouth。 What I've realised is it isn't the model that's difficult to understand but rather that the previous descriptions haven't managed to explain it very well by starting in the wrong place。This book is clever in that it explains the model through a series of conversations the "entrepreneur" has w I've met the Hersey-Blanchard model about Situational Leadership before and always found it a little bit hard to follow。 This book however explains it very clearly straight from the original creators mouth。 What I've realised is it isn't the model that's difficult to understand but rather that the previous descriptions haven't managed to explain it very well by starting in the wrong place。This book is clever in that it explains the model through a series of conversations the "entrepreneur" has with "The one minute manager"。 Those conversations wind back from the model to the individuals being led and it is understanding this secondary part that I now realise is key to understanding how situational leadership really works。The last part of the book looks at how it applies in practice looking at conversations and goal setting within performance management and clearly fits in with some of the other books in this series that I might look out。In the past my experience of reading original explanations is that they are more complex， but on this occasion Blanchard does a great job of communicating his core ideas。 Strongly recommended。 。。。more

Told to buy it and read it for a work training course。 I like this sort of genre and has some good points but far longer than it needed to be and the style was cringeworthy at points

A nice， short， sweet book that can be read in one day。 It discusses a different type of management， one that we typically don’t think of when we manage people。 I can’t say， however， whether or not these tactics actually work until I have applied them myself。 As for now， however， they seem logical and I am excited to try them the next time I find myself in a managerial role！

I didn't have an issue with anything that was said， it just felt a bit too rudimentary for me。 It's fine though。 I didn't have an issue with anything that was said， it just felt a bit too rudimentary for me。 It's fine though。 。。。more

It makes sense and won’t take a long time to read。 Two or three hours would be a fairly worthy trade for some reinforcements on managerial tips。

Quote from the book:“The golden rule，” said Randall。“The golden rule？” Echoed the entrepreneur。“Whoever owns the gold makes the rules，” laughed Randall。 This is a key problem with the world but， so many people celebrate and live their lives this way。 Makes me sad。 （Reading it for work， case in point）

Přečteno během jednoho nedělního odpoledne， první kniha ohledně Managementu jako takového， hodně inspirace a myšlenek， líbila se mi flexibilita Minutového Manažera， všímal jsem si věcí （viz 121 Meetingy）， se kterými se setkávám v práci。。。Tuhle knížku určitě četli manažeři a team leadeři s kterými pracuji， každopádně sem si všiml věcí， na kterých by mohli zapracovat。。Ke knížce se určitě budu vracet， a celkově mě téma Managementu a rozvoje lidí do budoucna zajímá :）
