Default The One Minute Manager

I just read the One Minute Salesperson. It took me 45 minutes to read it and I liked it. What do you guys think of the books written by the two guys who wrote the One Minute Manager. Since they're all free from the public library there is no financial cost for me. But are any of them worth the 45 minutes on average that I would have to spend to read each of them?

Here are some of their books (some individually written by each of the authors while the others written with someone else in addition to one of the two co-authors of the original One Minute Manager):

The One Minute Golfer

The One Minute Father

The One Minute Mother

The One Minute Teacher

Leadership and The One Minute Manager

The One Minute Apology

The On-time on-target Manager

The One Minute Manager Balances Work and Life

The One Minute Manager Builds a High Performance Team

The Present

Who Moved My Cheese

The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey

Raving Fans

Gung Ho

Big Bucks

Full Steam Ahead

The Leadership Pill

The Power of Ethical Management

High Five

Lead Like Jesus

The Three Keys to Empowerment

So which ones do you guys recommend? No financial risk involved because they're all in the library. But are each of these books worth 45 minutes of my time?

Raving Fans is a great book for anyone who is interested in the customer service industry (which according to the book is pretty much every indusrty.)

It is well written and has poignant and entertaining anecdotes.

I have been a Ken Blanchard fan for a while as he was a member of Fiji (my fraternity) at Cornell and he comes on campus to teach a weekend business seminar every year and he also speaks at our fraternities national convention every year. Of the above books <u>Creating Raving Fans</u> is definitely my favorite.

I have the One Minute Manager right in front of me. Is it worth the 45 minutes it would probably take me to read it?

In what order should I be reading these books?
