- How did I survive without this book?
To say this book accurately reflects the common delegation and mgmt pitfalls that I and most new managers fall into is an understatement.

I read this book at the weekend, and for the first time in weeks i'm actually enjoying being in work.

A "MUST READ" for any manager who's feeling their quality life is being wrecked by too much work.

This book may well just save my sanity :-)

- Be more effective
This was my first read of The One Minute series.

I have also read some other books about time management, and I have to agree with the author that this book is somewhat different.

All the other books tell you how to make the same things but faster - in less time. But, if you are already doing wrong things, the increase of speed will only make you do more wrong things.

Basically, you can easily increase your efficiency, but if your effectiveness remains low, time problems will not go way. For me this was the main message of this book.

The book tells a story, so is a very easy read, and very enjoyable one to!

- Mind-opening book on productivity and time management
A book which can be read in a few hours worth thousand-fold the money spent. It provides invaluable advice to increase someone's productivity through time-management which involves effective management of tasks and responsibilities which manifests in automatised delegation across a company.

Buy this book!

- Shows you how things could and should be....
thought this was an excellent book. As with the others in this series it's a bit American but despite that contains some good stuff.

The main thing I got from the book is a sight of how things should be in terms of an effectively delegated workload. Then that is sufficiently motivating that you can pick up some of the techniques and systems that are suggested to start working towards that. I don't think there is any overnight fix to this kind of thing, which is why the mix of pragmatic stuff to do today and the vision of how things should be is a powerful mix.

Any book you can read in a quick burst and contains one or two thought provoking and applicable ideas has got to be good value.

- Open Up Initiative Throughout the Organization!
This book does a great job of helping people focus on their own work.

Many people in an organization focus on managing the boss rather than doing their own job. What better way to manage the boss than to constantly seek her/his guidance on everything? Then, the boss can be flattered that you want his/her help, and will also take the blame if anything goes wrong. Insecure bosses like to be involved, so that fewer "errors" occur.

This wonderful book points out that no one can learn without making errors. Also, if you and your subordinate are doing the same job, one of you is superfluous. A common source of stalled thinking in this area is focusing on the fact that you, as manager, can do the job better and faster than you ... Read More:
