- Exactly what it says that it is.
I was asked to read this book for a Leadership Training that I'm currently attending through my employer.

This is one of those books that is kind of easy to make fun of. It isn't high literature. It is short and written very simply. It only has one focus-- to provide a clear example illustration of the author's ideas about situational leadership. It reaches that goal, and it reaches it quickly and reasonably well. The concept itself is not revolutionary at this point, but it does bear repeating.

I do think that it's kind of a racket that this 106 page book with very very big type somehow apparently retails in the hardback edition for $19.95-- this according to the dust cover on my copy. But--hey-- more power to them, right? And I'm guessing that it's mostly training firms and companies who actually pay the price.

- only for the absolutely stupid people
Amazing how they can fill a book of 110 pages with a very, very simple idea. And even this idea is so simplified that even someone who has no knowledge at all can put holes in it. E.g. The levels of development a person can have has 2 parameters, with 4 possible values each so means 16 options. This is simplified to just 4 options.

The quotes used are completely out of date, like "work smarter, not harder" come on people, we're way past the 80's. But at least they fill an entire page.

Then the paternalistic way it is written..the know-it-all one minute manager and the entrepeur who just loves everything he says. And all the people in the company are soooo happy with the one minute manager. It was required to read for a course I did...and it was the worst struggle I had with a book since long. I constantly was temted to throw it out the window. Luckely the mere 80 pages are half filled and ... Read More

- Situationally Developmental Tool
A very effective tool in leadership and management. Clearly defines several styles of leadership, as well as several levels of "competence" among employees. This makes it quite easy to understand Blanchard's point about needing to treat different people differenlty in order to get the best result out of them. I think that is the key point, is that you are working to maximize your return on each employee.
