The one minute manager meets the monkey

This book teaches managers an unforgettable lesson: how to have time to do what they want and need to do.

It explains why managers who accept every problem given to them become hopeless bottlenecks.

Through a vivid and humorous scenario, the authors show how managers can free themselves from doing everyone else's job and ensure that every problem is handled by its rightful owner.

By using Oncken’s Four Rules of Monkey Management, readers learn to become effective supervisors of time, energy, and talent—especially their own.
