and was translated into 42 languages. In The New One Minute Manager, Blanchard and Johnson kept the format but adapted how the manager uses the book’s Three Secrets to reflect technological and societal changes. This easily-read story quickly demonstrates three very practical management techniques: One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings and One Minute Reprimands. The One Minute Manager also includes information on several studies in medicine and in the behavioural sciences, which help readers understand why these apparently simple methods work so well with so many people. The book is brief, the language is simple, and best of all ... it works.
