Editorial Review
The One Minute Manager's symbol—a one-minute readout from the face of a modern digital watch—is intended to remind each of us to take a minute out of our day to look into the faces of the people we manage. And to realize that they are our most important resources. The Monkey Manager's symbol—a harried manager overwhelmed by a desk full of problems—is intended to remind us to constantly discipline ourselves to invest our time on the most vital aspects of management rather than dilute our effectiveness by doing more efficiently those things that shouldn't be done in the first place .

The One Minute Manager's symbol is intended to remind each of us to take a minute out of our day to look into the faces of the people we manage.
I came to realize that when people throughout the organization have responsibility for managing their own monkeys, it's hard to tell who's a worker and who's a manager because everyone is committed to doing what it takes to do the best job possible.
It would be foolish to delegate to someone without reasonable assurance that he/she can get sufficient resources—information, time, money, people, assistance and authority—to do the work.
