 This book has great motivational quotes, 2000-02-09
This book is written by a new York Times #1 Bestselling auhtor, Ken Blanchard, and has many motivating and catchy quotes! This book is derived from his situational leadership concepts with the help of two other authors that have worked with Ken for over twenty years. It is a quick read(105 pgs.) and can be read in about 45min. It is written in first person and this creates a valuable learning perspective. Managers can take these concepts into the workforce without any effort at all. If you like motivational quotes this book is for you!

 An easy way to learn about leadership!, 2000-02-08
Leadership and the one minute manager: Increasing effectiveness through situational leadership (1985) cuts to the heart of leadership without mincing words. It is clear, meaningful and concise in explaining how situational leadership is necessary. The one-sentence blurbs and charts aid in easier understanding. Although I found the book to be set in a cheesy environment, the story is interesting and does a good job articulating that many different leadership styles are effective. I discovered that a good leader should be flexible enough to lead different people in different ways, continually wanting the best for each of them. This book tells us that leadership is more than simply managing others, but it is about working alongside and encouraging them to be good leaders as well.

 The only way to lead AND manage!, 2000-02-08
The authors posed the material in a strange, story-like manner, but the message was clearly evident. Situational leadership and its use in management was defined explicitly with the help of common examples in a business environment. Being unaware of this style of leadership has influenced me to now practice situational leadership both with work and my personal life. I recommend any manager read this. The authors simplistically explained the keys to eventually help one lead individuals to success in any situation.

Great book for any leader or manager, 2000-02-07
This is an excellent book on situational leadership. It outlines what would seem to be a simple process to becoming a situational leader. The examples given are relevant and the book was very easy to read. The most valuable concept I learned from the book was the concept of "different strokes for the same folks," meaning that you can use different leadership styles with the same person depending on the task at hand. The only thing I didn't really care for about this book was the way in which it was written. The whole book consists of conversations between "the entrepreneur," the "one minute manager," and the subordinates of the one minute manager. It was kind of cheesy at some times, but it got the point across loud and clear.
