The One-Minute Manager <\/em>Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The One-Minute Manager <\/em>is written in the form of a narrative fable. In this story, a young man visits the new one-minute manager<\/a> and learns from him the three secrets of successful one-minute management. We later learn that he applies these principles in his own life and career to great effect, becoming a one-minute manager himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the best The One-Minute Manager <\/em>quotes that discuss the lessons of the fable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter all, how can you be an effective manager unless you and your team are clear about goals and what good performance looks like?\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One-minute goals are the foundation of the one-minute manager philosophy. They set the tone for all subsequent interactions between the manager and the employee, because they are the gold standard<\/a> against which all of the employee\u2019s subsequent feedback (both positive and negative) will be held. Anything that is measurable, has a clear standard of success or failure, and that has a deadline, can be defined as a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHelp people reach their full potential. Catch them doing something right.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Once they\u2019ve set goals, one-minute managers use one-minute praisings to motivate their employees. One-minute praisings are quick bursts of positive affirmation delivered by the manager to the employee when the employee has done something that helps the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many organizations, people are only given feedback when they\u2019re doing something wrong<\/em>. This is demotivating and puts employees on edge. Consistently and immediately praising people for their work lets people know how they\u2019re doing and encourages them to work even harder to earn even more praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPraising people doesn\u2019t always work if it isn\u2019t combined with re-directs to correct mistakes when they occur.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t praise employees\u2019 good work without also holding them accountable them when they don\u2019t <\/em>perform up to expectations. The two balance out to keep workers on track to achieving their goals. As a one-minute manager, you need to master the one-minute redirect<\/a> technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of setting our goals for us, he listens to our input and works side-by-side with us to develop them. After we agree on our most important goals, each is described on one page.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of a new task or responsibility, you sit down with your employee to come up with specific goals related to that task. Each goal and its performance standard should be defined in no more than 250 words, making it readable in one minute or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
