Managers and monkeys- Book Review

Posted: September 21st, 2009 | | No Comments »

I just finished reading a book, “The One Minute Manager Meets The Monkey,” that my father gave me this past weekend. I was intrigued by this whole
monkey thing… But didn’t know what to expect beyound that.

Without ruining the whole point of the book, this book is amazing. The pemise is all around the idea of not taking on your subordinates problems (monkeys) but allowing them through leadership, delegation, and coaching to handle the problems and tasks themselves.

Everyone who works in a company with more than one level should read this. Even if you don’t manage people, you need to know how this works.

Seriously please read this. It is another great book by Ken Blanchard. It is a quick read that will change your outlook on everything you do during the day.

I leave you with this quote – “If something is not worth doing, it is not worth doing well.”
