Book Reviews of Leadership and the One Minute Manager
Book Review: Good, Brief, And To The Point!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great book for the reader who likes to get to the point. Now, I will get to the point reviewing this title!
A leader needs to have 3 skills:
1. Flexibility - show different styles for different people.
2. Diagnosis - determine what a particular employee needs to become more effective.
3. Contracting - work with the employee to determine what the employee is responsible for and what the manager is responsible for.
A leader needs to have 4 basic styles:
1. Directing - provide specific direction and close supervision.
2. Coaching - close supervision and encouragement.
3. Supporting - support employee's efforts and shares the decision-making.
4. Delegating - give responsibility to employee.
There is more elaboration on the two above points and some areas but I do not want to give it all away.
Read and enjoy. Recommended. End of my 1-minute review!
