The New One Minute Manager

The young man has now become a New One Minute Manager. He fully embraces every aspect of the philosophy and teachings, applying everything he has learned. From One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings, and One Minute Re-Directs, he embodies what he was taught.

Having started to master his role as a New One Minute Manager, he has created and shared “The New One Minute Manager’s Game Plan” with his employees—a visual flowchart of all the Secrets and how they can lead workers to success (75).

Years later, the New One Minute Manager reflects on how far he has come after acquiring the principles of One Minute Management. He is grateful and has duplicated his success with others, vowing to share the Secrets with his employees and colleagues, including Liz Aquino—from earlier in the book—who are all equally receptive to his approach. The young man has achieved success as a leader and has bountiful time to enjoy his personal time while inspiring his department to reach high results. He admits that he isn’t a perfect leader and they appreciate his candid humility: “People knew up front that he was honestly on their side from the start, and that made all the difference” (77).
