Books : The One Minute Manager .
Rating: 
- Universally applicable!
This is one of my favorite books. It is geniusly simple, respectful and powerful. I was surprised to find out that I can easily apply the 3 principles in almost every relationship. So many people around deserve to be praised and taught a lesson and it is very important HOW you will do it because the final result can be very positive or just the opposite. It is a very valuable book which is very well written and is a fast read. I also highly recommend the other books from the One Minute Manager series because every book has a lot to offer and they will be especially helpful if you are in a business environment.

- The One Minute Manager does exactly what it says on the tin
Having just read my first of the "One minute Manager" series of books I have to say that I'm impressed. These simple easy to read books have the impact to change the way in which we work. I'm looking forward to reading the next one!
Rating: - Short to Read, Big on Wisdom
I really liked this book, but for the same reasons I liked it, some may hate it.
First of all, it's an easy read, and it gets its points across by telling a story. Other books, such as The Sixty-Second Motivator, have also used this format succesfully, but this style may not appeal to everyone. To me, it makes the book a lot less boring to read.
Secondly, the book is short. The vast majority of readers will easily be able to read this book in a day. It has bigger font, which I personally liked and thought it made it a joy to read. However here again, some may be turned off by that and consider it to be too "child-like."
Thirdly, the book takes solid mangagerial info and gives it to the reader handily in the form of three "secrets." I found the advice to be very practical and while some may consider it far too simple, it can help you a lot IF you actually apply the info- which I suspect most managers do not.
In conclusion, I recommend this short business classic to anyone looking for better ways to improve their managerial skills. I doubt most readers will be disappointed.
Rating: - A great little book, easy and quick to read with some useful suggestions.
In 106 sparsely filled pages the book covers goal settings, praising employees, and reprimanding employees. (By the way, I say sparse some of the pages only have a few words on them). Each of the three rules of the one minute manager are clearly set out as a short list of points, and there are a number of pages with nothing but a short motivational style statement like "Catch them doing something right". I'm not so keen on the goal setting rules, but the praising and reprimand rules are much more to my liking.
The ideas on the One Minute Manager are told as story that helps the reader whiz through the pages (like "Fish" ISBN: 0340819804, which is not quite as good BTW). It doesn't pretend to have lots of statistically significant data gleaned from many-man-years of research like some books. It's a simple book, with simple and useful ideas.
The book doesn't get universally great reviews. Some people find it too obvious and simple. There's a recurrent theme in the one-star reviews that - if you need this book you're an idiot. I don't agree with that at all. The rules in the One-Minute-Manager are really precise and exact, I *really* doubt these are being performed by those that suggest that any competent manager is doing this already. I know managers who like this book and managers that dislike this book, but very few - none almost - that follow its methods. There are many managers that know this stuff backwards and forwards, but just don't do it. You may know this stuff already, but do you do it, and do you do it well? This book will help you do it well.

- Dont see what the fuss is about
As my title says, i really dont understand what all the fuss is about with this book; why it continues to be a bestseller is beyond me. It offers three single pieces of advice that are not necessarily bad ideas. But if anyone thinks for a second, that that is all that is required to be a great manager, they are in trouble. For me this book is just a chapter in the whole story of how to be a manger.
