The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey by Kenneth H. Blanchard, Ph.D.
This is the latest addition to the "One Minute Manager" series. A monkey is a problem to be solved, and the message of the book is "don't take on other peoples problems" - put the monkey back on the shoulders where it belongs. The authors show step by step how a manager weighed down by all the monkeys that have jumped from their rightful owners onto his back can free himself to become an effective supervisor of time, energy and talent.
