Hi,
Good morning! Hope you enjoyed the weekly ‘Trainer’s Notes’ sent last week. This week I would like to share with you the essence of the million copy bestseller, “The One Minute Manager” written by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. Ken and Spencer presented the lessons they learned about how people work best with other people in this book in the form of a story........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once there was a bright young man who wanted to work for an effective manager and also eventually wanted to become one. He went around to many places and spoken to many managers. He observed how people managed people, but wasn’t always pleased with what he saw. He found some ‘autocratic’ who were tough and interested only in results, and some ‘democratic’ who were nice and interested in people, but both types only partially effective. Though he found a few effective managers, they were not willing to share their secrets. But, then one day, he heard about a successful manager, who agreed to meet and share with him the secrets. People liked to work with this manager, and they could produce great results together. He went and met with him and found him to be a ‘One Minute Manager (OMM)’ who `and whose team members understood and followed 3 secrets of ‘OMM.’ They are summarized below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One becomes a One Minute Manager not because he or she thinks like one, talks like one, but because he or she behaves like one. In summary, an. OMM sets One Minute Goals, gives One Minute Praisings, and gives One Minute Reprimands; asks brief but important questions, speaks simple truth, laughs, works and enjoys the work.; and more importantly encourages the people to do the same and in the process become One Minute Managers. After all, people are the most important resources, and today’s subordinates or tomorrow’s managers.
At the end of the day, take a minute to look at your goals, look at your performance and see if your behaviour matches your goals. Pls don’t miss to take a look at the OMM’s Game Plan given at the end of this message.
To Your SUCCESS,
With love and regards,

He went and met with him and found him to be a ‘One Minute Manager (OMM)’ who `and whose team members understood and followed 3 secrets of ‘OMM.’ They are summarized below:
| Secret | Secret | Essence of the OMM Secret | Benefit to the team members | Benefit to the Manager |
| 1 | One minute goal setting | OMM spends a fair amount of time with his people at the beginning of a new task or responsibility. Both supervisor and subordinates set and agree upon the goals and responsibilities. Everyone knows about what is expected of them and of what standards of performance | Clarity about goals so that they could aim their actions towards achieving them. Higher levels of productivity and job satisfaction. Helps in checking whether one’s behaviour matches with goals or not. | Time to think & plan Time to exercise and stay healthy No daily physical and emotional stress |
| 2 | One minute praising | OMM tries to catch people doing something right (instead of wrong), and gives them a one minute praising instantly. OMM also tells them how good he feels about it. | Sense of encouragement and job satisfaction People who feel good about themselves produce good results | |
| 3 | One minute reprimand | When brought to the notice, OMM looks straight in the eye and tells precisely what went wrong, and also shares how he feels about it. OMM lets you know how competent he thinks you usually are. OMM doesn’t attack the person, but the behaviour. | Helps one think twice before committing any mistakes Becomes clear about what exactly went wrong making the correction easier. |
One becomes a One Minute Manager not because he or she thinks like one, talks like one, but because he or she behaves like one. In summary, an. OMM sets One Minute Goals, gives One Minute Praisings, and gives One Minute Reprimands; asks brief but important questions, speaks simple truth, laughs, works and enjoys the work.; and more importantly encourages the people to do the same and in the process become One Minute Managers. After all, people are the most important resources, and today’s subordinates or tomorrow’s managers.
