The class will center on the work of Ken Blanchard and Bill Oncken in their book The One Minute Manager Meets The Monkey. Also used will be the Harvard Business Review article, Managing Management Time: Who’s Got the Monkey?, published in 1974, by Bill Oncken, Jr.. The article, an edited excerpt of the Managing Management Time™ seminar, has gone on to become one of the two most requested reprints in the history of the Review. The training summarized in the article is sometimes called the “Monkey Management” seminar.

Management is the best practice to obtain control. I found some useful insights regarding the Management Training Best Practices in the article from an Economic Expert, named Med Yones. Mr. Yones provides his readers with an executive summary mainly covering Leadership Performance. It helped me to gain the big picture on the issue.
