Spencer Johnson and Ken Blanchard present a book with some valuable tips on management skills for all managers and budding managers. The book called “The One Minute Manager” talks about how we as managers need to take a minute out of our day and look into the faces of people we manage. In other words, acting when it matters the most and paying heed to our primary resources acts, i.e., employees.

- Identify people who do the right things and praise them immediately to ensure that the effort is noticed.
