“Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.”
“Secret #1 : One minute Goal Setting
"People who feel good about themselves produce good results”
“Help People Reach Their Full Potential
Catch Them Doing Something Right”
“Secret #3 : One minute Reprimand
"We are not just our behavior. We are the person managing our behavior”
“Secret #2 : One Minute Praising

“Goals begin behaviors, consequences maintain them.”
“The people who work with you as their manager will look to you as one of their sources of wisdom”
“Effective managers,” he thought, “manage themselves and the people they work with
so that both the organization and the people profit from their presence.”
“The best minute I spend is the one I invest in people.”
“الناس تحتاج أن ترتبط بمن يهتمون بهم، ليشعروا بأنهم مقبولون وذوو قيمة لمجرد أنهم بشر (..) أيضاً أن الناس يحتاجون إلى معين ليجدوا من يهتم بهم، عندما يجانبهم الصواب ص 91”
“If you can´t tell me what you'd like to be happening, you don't have a problem yet. You're just complaining. A problem only exists if there is a difference between what is actually happening and what you desire to be happening.”
“When I first came to work her i spotted a problem that needed to be solved, but I didn't know what to do. So I called the One Minute Manager. When he answered the phone, I said, Sir, I have a problem. Befor I could get another word out, he said, Good! That's what you've been hired to solve.”
“من غير المناسب إخفاء مشاعرك السلبية نحو ضعف أداء موظف Page: 86”
“ضع الأهداف، امدح، انتقد السلوكيات، شجّع الناس، قل الحق، اضحك، اعمل، استمتع”
“the first rule of being a team is trusting one another. And if you trust someone, you let her keep her secrets. When she is ready to tell you, she will. You dont have to know everything, Anaka.
Why not? Why should I trust Oona if she doesnt trust me? How do I know she's not hiding somthing more dangerous?
Oona was worried the rest of you would see her differently, Kiki bristled. Don't prove her right.”
“Human courage is an opiate but opiates are human too. If God is an opiate so am I. Therefore eat me. Eat the night,”
“You need some coffee, don't you?"
"Yes, I've only had a gallon.”
“Since you think you know everything, tell me if you understand this. Have you ever wanted something so bad you think you’d die if you didn’t have it? That the mere thought of it keeps you up at night. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can’t drink. You are so consumed by that desire nothing else matters, and you’re not sure life is worth living if you can’t have it.”
“Elednor,' he said, 'Elednor, why have you betrayed me? Come back to me. Come back to were you belong. I alone need you...”
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
