People management - One Minute Manager

I have completed 9 years in IT Software development recently. The one to whom I am reporting is 10^th Manager in my IT carrier. I think this is not a usual case with other Employees. I have seen very few Mangers (Who were influenced, inspired, demonstrated what is meant by management all about). Many times I felt that my leads have good management capability than the “so called Managers”.  Dear mangers, please  don’t think that I am writing something wrong about you.

So, what is the blog is all about? Am I here to review my managers Management skills? Ha, Ha.. No, I am here to recap what is management basics to my audience who are not aware. My readers may become leaders tomorrow. They shouldn’t forget about the basics of People management. I am here to share the quick summary of “One Minute Manager” by Ken Blanchard. So what is it all about?

“One Minute Manager” is all about:

1.    One Minute Goal Setting

2.    One Minute Praising

3.    One Minute Reprimand

This is an awesome way to become a Manager and you will be loved by your subordinates. Refer the Figure attached.

PS:

I have worked with a manager who is simply fantastic. All his team members trusting/loving him and his management team too. I yet to learn the secret from him J

Thanks,
