Welcome

Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?

Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.

This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.

There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.

I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.

The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

Book Review: One Minute Manager



Paid Advertisement








The One Minute Manager series is outstanding. This is the book that started it all. Back in the early 1980s, it was believed that two books would revolutionize the business world.  The One Minute Manager is one of those two books; In Search of Excellence is the other one.

This is a quaint little talk that takes the reader on a visit to a highly effective manager’s office where this manager, the One Minute Manager, teaches a young man how to be an effective manager.

The book teaches common sense management techniques that weren’t so common back in the 1980s.

If you are a manager, or hope to become one, you should add this book to your reading list. Even if management is not in your plans for your future, it is a worthwhile read.

In looking at some of the comments made on amazon.com, I noticed that some people did not read the parts of the book where it is stated that it doesn’t really take only a minute. The idea is to manage effectively without spending a great deal of time doing the same things over and over again.

For those who feel that the book is simplistic, you need to realize that this is the idea of the book. It is meant to convey a basic management technique in a book that can be read in one sitting.
I feel like this book is well worth the money it costs. I have several copies in my collection.
