Being a positive role model inspires others from "summary" of Leadership and the One Minute Manager by Kenneth H. Blanchard,Patricia Zigarmi,Drea Zigarmi
In the story, the One Minute Manager is a positive role model for his employees. He practices the principles of one minute goal setting, one minute praising, and one minute reprimands. By doing so, he sets an example for his team to follow. He demonstrates the importance of setting clear goals, giving specific praise, and providing immediate feedback when things go wrong. His actions speak louder than words, inspiring his employees to do the same. When the One Minute Manager praises his employees, he does so sincerely and specifically. He takes the time to acknowledge their efforts and accomplishments, showing them that their hard work does not go unnoticed. This positive reinforcement motivates his team to continue striving for excellence. They see that their efforts are appreciated and valued, which encourages them to perform at their best. Similarly, when the One Minute Manager needs to reprimand an employee, he does so in a timely and constructive manner. He addresses the issue directly, focusing on the behavior rather than the person. This approach helps the employee understand what went wrong and how to correct it in the future. By handling reprimands effectively, the One Minute Manager shows his team that mistakes are opportunities for growth, not reasons for shame.- The One Minute Manager's leadership style is based on the idea that actions speak louder than words. By being a positive role model, he inspires his employees to follow his example. They see the benefits of setting clear goals, giving specific praise, and providing immediate feedback. This leads to a more productive and engaged team, with everyone working towards a common goal of success. The concept of being a positive role model is a powerful one, as it demonstrates the impact that a leader's actions can have on those around them.
