Summary: Understanding Monkey's Makes better Ministers!
Comment: The staff of a large Church studied the One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey. They found in unbelievable funny. Indentifying the next move in identifying monkeys from each other and members made the work more fun. Just understanding the next move as a monkey became funny instead of accepting chores or somebody else' MONKEY. At my final luncheon each one gleefully receive a key chain of a barrel of monkeys and talked about how liberating the concept really became. This book needs to liberate a new generation of managers.

Comment: Solving problems (or as Blanchard refers to them... monkeys) is something everyone must get better at throughout life. Regardless if you are in the field of business, medical, or even in parenting, solving problems is a big part of being successful every day. That's why I think this book is for everyone. I personally took away valuable knowledge on how to delegate properly and keep a team of people moving in the same direction. One of the great arts of management is delegation and the principles in this book are simply fantastic ideas that when applied, do work. This book cost me $12 and it's helped to make companies I've worked for millions. Pretty good value!
