I'm currently reading two classic books in the world of business. The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson is a guide to becoming a good manager. The Lean Startup by Eric Ries is a book about creating startups that achieve great things without being wasteful.
The One Minute Manager outlines three techniques that managers should use; one-minute goals, one-minute praises, and one-minute reprimands.
The Lean Startup is about Ries' five principles for building a lean startup; entrepreneurs are everywhere, entrepreneurship is management, validated learning, innovation accounting, and "build-measure-learn".
The One Minute Manager is a short story about a young man who stumbles on a guy called the one minute manager in his search for good leaders. I've gotten half way so far and it's instructions are good, if not surprising. I haven't read a lot form The Lean Startup yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out what "entrepreneurship is management" means.
