One Minute Manager

A classic for new (and seasoned) managers

Looking for a refreshingly simple management read? Boris, our CEO, recommends The One Minute Manager—a quick, practical book that covers timeless principles of great management: setting clear expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing your team through short but meaningful conversations. As the story unfolds, you will discover several studies in medicine and the behavioral sciences which help you to understand why these apparently simple methods work so well with so many people. By the book’s end, you will also know how to apply them to your own situation.

This was Boris’ very first management book—and still one he strongly recommends to every new manager.
