The One Minute Manager
Short book of the day. Big message to read over breakfast at home by the pool (poached pastured eggs and quinoa salad).

To be able to manage yourself and others is one of life's great super powers.

But honestly, how many people can look back and say, "Yeah I mastered motivating myself and those around me?" Not more than 1 in a hundred.

This book has been a bestseller for decades because it lays out the simplest formula:

1. Set one minute goals: written in under 250 words with clear measurements of what winning is.

2. Closely monitor: look over trying to find something to praise - not something to criticize.

3. One minute praising: if the goal is achieved spend 60 seconds praising the behavior that led to the win. Be genuine and not cheesy.

4. One minute reprimand: if the goal is missed immediately and specifically call out the bad behavior - but with a goal to show you care, don't just rant.

5. Be tough/nice: The key to not be taken advantage of is to be tough first then nice afterwards in rewarding success. That formula, in that order, works best. Not nice and then tough. Reverse the order to tough first.

So simple. But many people know simple things but never do. There is no reward in knowing. Only in doing.

Try this step 5 step approach on yourself and those around you. Don't forget the written goals.

Stay strong,
Tai
