About this audiobook

A new edition based on the timeless business classic—updated to help today’s readers succeed more quickly in a rapidly changing world.

For decades, The One Minute Manager® has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles it lays out are timeless, our world has changed drastically since the book’s publication. The exponential rise of technology, global flattening of markets, instant communication, and pressures on corporate workforces to do more with less—including resources, funding, and staff—have all revolutionized the world in which we live and work.

Now, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson have written The New One Minute Manager to introduce the book’s powerful, important lessons to a new generation. In their concise, easy-to-read story, they teach readers three very practical secrets about leading others—and explain why these techniques continue to work so well.

As compelling today as the original was thirty years ago, this classic parable of a young man looking for an effective manager is more relevant and useful than ever.

The advice in this audiobook are sound and effective. However, the way the story is told is not. Instead of laying out the concepts, it is woven in a fictional tale that comes off as incredibly self-congratulatory, with this "new one minute manager" being praised by every fictional person that he deals with. It presents almost a perfect individual which lessens the overall message because it comes off as so unrealistic.

Save your time and money. This was fairly excruciating to listen to. Covers the most fundamentally basic points of managing to the point that it comes off condescending. Anything by Patrick Lencioni is a far better use of your time.
