cover Leadership and the One Minute Manager
By Patricia Zigarmi, Drea Zigarmi,
Ken Blanchard
HarperBusiness, 2002 - Paperback

I prefer this book to the One Minute Manager because it has the same basic concepts but deals with situational leadership, which is what most managers truly face.

cover One Minute Manager
By Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
Berkley Pub Group, 1993 - 111 pages

Strangely the simplicity of the book is deceiving. This book is good for those that are looking for a quick read and who are either currently managing people or wanting to manage people.

cover Fish Tales!
By Stephen Lundin, Harry Paul, John Christensen, Philip Strand
Hyperion, April 2002 - 170 pages

FISH! TALES is a follow up book to the bestseller FISH!  For many who read the first book, you will find the fundamental philosophy repeated again but it is needed because the authors have designed this book to stand alone on its own merits.  If you haven’t read the original you can read this and understand the principles. More Info

cover Raving Fans
By Ken Blanchard & Sheldon Bowles
William Morrow & Co., 1993 - 138 pages

First off, the book basically talks about customer service and how companies need to offer exemplary service to create Raving Fans, as the authors title it. I was simply hoping to get one good idea/thought out of the book and I did.

cover Whale Done!
By Ken Blanchard (editor), Jim Ballard, Thad Lacinak
FreePress, 2002 - 128 pages

The simple theme illustrated in this book is that both whales and people perform better when you accentuate the positive.  It is tougher to actually implement such behavior but it can be done and it can have a substantial impact on your life
