One Minute Manager and Wood Badge.

[Eamonn]

I have to admit that last year when I was asked to serve on the staff of the new Wood Badge for the 21st Century, I did see the recommendation to read the One Minute Manager, and I didn't.

I thought it was going to be a hard read, full of management gobbledygook, not to mention the fact that it cost twenty dollars.

However, I did break down and spend the twenty, and boy it is the best money that I have spent in a long time.

I think that it would not only be a usefull tool for Adult Training, but would be really usefull for all leaders.

Please let me know your thoughts and views.

I read the One Minute Manager several years ago. I agree that it is the single most useful book on managing people I have ever seen. It is an easy read. Furthermore it is both entertaining and funny. Anybody would benefit from applying the principles suggested in this book.

Pack38Scouter,

Many Thanks.

I enjoyed my visit to the Web Site.

There is a lot of really neat stuff.

There are two other books by the same author that I strongly recommend to improve your skills as a volunteer leader.

 

for scoutmasters- Leadership and the One-Minute Manager

 

for Unit Commissioners- The One-minute Manager Meets the Monkey

 

Outstanding tools for developing other people.
