Book Burning

I’m not normally the kind of person who would ever advocate book banning. But I’ve decided to make an exception for some of the “business” books being inflicted on unsuspecting employees lately, most notably by Ken Blanchard.

The One Minute Manager

Putting the One Minute Manager to Work

The On-Time, On-Target Manager : How a "Last-Minute Manager" Conquered Procrastination

The One Minute Manager Balances Work and Life (One Minute Manager Library)

The One Minute Apology : A Powerful Way to Make Things Better

The One Minute Manager Builds High Performing Teams (revised Edition) (One Minute Manager Library)

Leadership and the One Minute Manager : Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership

Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager : Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Self-Leadership



and finally The One Minute Manager Meets The Monkey where the idiotic “One Minute Manager” concept meets the even more idiotic “Monkey On Your Back” concept from Managing Management Time by William Oncken.
