Title: A typical fad management book
Review: Can anyone learn the complex art of management by reading fairy tales? Probably not, and certainly not from this book.The book is the glib story of a manager who does almost no work. He isolates himself from his employees, forces them to make his decisions for him, and withholds useful information from them. On a regular basis, he manipulates their emotions through pre planned reprimands and praise.Bosses like the One Minute Manager exist in real life - the unproductive, poisonous managers who make everyone's life miserable. In the story, of course, his employees display a cult like devotion to the him, and are eager to apply his techniques to their own hapless subordinates.The book is not a positive guide for managers, and is not recommended.
