"The One Minute Manager is an interesting and easy read that shed some revelation on the topic of self management. Rather than focusing on how to make our meeting more effective and efficient, the focus is more on our perception of others and how this allows us to free up more time to get our work done.”— FOCUS Adventure

"This little book isn’t a multimillion bestseller for nothing. It contains techniques and step-by-step plans which are highly effective in everyday life, both for managers and everyone working with other people. The book is very easy to read (just take a Sunday afternoon), well written, has good examples to elaborate on the important key points, and leaves you with a lot of things to think about. Not only about effective goal setting, but also about social behavior and the psychological consequences of actions.”— Remo Knops
