My fourth book of the year was The One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. It' s a very good book based on providing a plan for good managing. The writing is very simple and somewhat dry but I guess people don't read this book for its amazing writing but for its amazing management plan. It's concept is basically the same one that is provided to us during education school. However, the defining difference is to make it clear that there is a difference between a person that understands how it works or wants it to work and a person that follows the steps and actually puts it to work. The only thing that this book doesn't provide is clear case-study examples of following the steps to make it work. I think it's a 4.5/5 and recommend it to everyone. (111 pages. Total for the year: 1064 pages)
