- Shockingly bad...
I found the one minute manager book useful..but this is shockingly bad. Its full of anecdotes from some american coach in football and baseball...come on..what has this got to do with the business environment. Im really annoyed that i have lined someones pocket with this drivel....if only i had read the reviews. Of course, if you are an american, you will probably relate to some of the bull...

- Little Book with a lot of Knowledge
As soon as I saw the title I knew that I must buy it not only for myself but also for my son who is starting out on a career of as a coach.

Nick isn't the greatest reader in the world but as soon as he saw the layout he said that's more like a book for me with the clear statements on most facing pages.

It follows a tried and tested formula but this time he teams up with one of the greatest American Football Coaches Don Shula and they combine Coaching in sport with the lessons that are equally applicable to everyday life as well as the business world.

As we drove back from the U/18's Rugby League match today I pointed out the page on how Don had after an operation at 2:30pm on a ruptured Achilles still made it ... Read More:

- Not useful in real world with human beings
This is a lot like the One Minute Manager books - same kind of stuff. It may be useful if you're coaching dogs or chimpanzees but not humans. Some of the material might work on US employees but I couldn't see it working in the UK or Europe. Theres a lot of acronymns from American football and Baseball but nothing really new. I read half of it and that was 50% too much!

- More child psychology applied to motivating morons !
The first One Minute Manager book was good, for its time, but subsequent publications have simply distilled the same basic ideas - the application of established child psychology applied to idiotic, passive employees. This is the shortest of the one manager series and is really touching the bottom of the 'management cliche' barrell.

If you're into meaningless acronym, enjoy pelvic-thrusting American football examples and haven't a clue about Coaching, management practice or are low on the old common sense quotient - this book is for you!

If this book inspires you as a 'manager'- its time for a rapid career re-think - dreadful stuff!

- In Praise of Pursuing Perfection!
Seldom has a book fallen so far short of the philosophy it espouses. Save your time and your money by reading another book on coaching.

"C.O.A.C.H." is the acronym that encompasses this book's brief content (probably less than 15,000 words):

C is for conviction ("Have a common vision and everyone will begin to move in the same direction." "Beliefs come true." " . . . a good coach provides the direction and concentration for performers' energies . . . ." "If you don't seek perfection, you can never reach excellence." "Lacking something to uplift their hearts when difficulties arise, their minds will not be equal to the task.")

O is for overlearning (" . . . get overprepared and help your people do the same." "Perfection ... Read More:
