The New One Minute Manager Hardcover – May 5, 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
A new edition based on the timeless business classic—updated to help today’s readers succeed more quickly in a rapidly changing world. The New One Minute Manager offers a way for you to succeed sooner with less stress in changing times—both at work and at home.
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025I was able to listen to this book in a few hours. It was time well spent and I was able to make a usable outline that I can follow and implement as I transition from doing to delegating.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024Reading this book was a great experience, from the starting page quote of "Help people reach their full potential. Catch them doing something right!" to the intermittent full-page quotes placed throughout, to the simple concepts conveyed through a fun and relatable story. First time I've read an entire book in one sitting in a while. I like how the story moved quickly enough so I never felt bored. I would highly recommend to anyone who is in leadership especially, but just in general I think everyone could benefit from reading this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024I appreciate the simplicity of the management framework provided in this book. It uncomplicated something that can be at times over complicated. Easy, quick read that is worth the time spent.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Recommended to me by a manager (I'm a supervisor). Good quick read and gives a lot of good information.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024I read the original version of this book many years ago, I’m glad to see a revision of it, especially taking into account that modern workers need to have a sense of value and meaning to their work. If you want to be a great manager, this shows the ways that you can change some of your behaviors to bring out the best in the people that you work with. Reading it will be fast, getting to establish the neural pathways to actually practice. All of this will be a challenge, but take one task at a time, just like the book says, and start to apply it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024This book is essential for new managers who want to be successful, impactful and compassionate all at the same time. I recommend this book for anyone like myself wanting to lead a team that is productive and enjoys their job.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024It's a short book but not short enough for the small amount of useful information it contains. The book imparts three core pieces of advice, and its good advice for sure but it's spoon-fed in a painfully slow manner in a short (and yet all too-long) story that is neither believable nor compelling. I could rattle off those three things here and nullify any need to purchase the book, but I would feel pretty rude doing that in addition to leaving a poor review. I want to stress that it is good advice but it's also really basic and self-evident, I kind of worry for the person who genuinely *needs* this book. There is no doubt that if I reflect and focus harder on those three things that I will be a better manager, but it wasn't things I wasn't already aware of or not already trying to do. I would think (hope?) that all managers are in my boat there.
When it's on sale you can get your money's worth if you whip through it and then pass it along. Maybe its most useful to someone who has been suddenly blindsided and thrown into management, it will give them three simple things to try to focus on and if you can do those basics you can be a decent manager almost no matter what else is going on.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024Short and impactful, practical steps that simply being a effective manager. Well worth the short read many times over. Recommended.

A must a read for every single person.
It's so impressive how they made managing simple and intuitive, by telling you a fiction, that such quality of storytelling seems almost unreal.
