Spencer Johnson

A new edition based on the timeless business classic--updated to help today's readers succeed more quickly in a rapidly changing world. The New One Minute Manager offers a way for you to succeed sooner with less stress in changing times--both at work and at home. For decades, The One Minute Manager(R) has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles it lays out are timeless, our world has changed drastically since the book's publication. The exponential rise of technology, global flattening of markets, instant communication, and pressures on corporate workforces to do more with less--including resources, funding, and staff--have all revolutionized the world in which we live and work. Now, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson have written The New One Minute Manager to introduce the book's powerful, important lessons to a new generation. In their concise, easy-to-read story, they teach readers three very practical secrets about leading others--and explain why these techniques continue to work so well. As compelling today as the original was thirty years ago, this classic parable of a young man looking for an effective manager is more relevant and useful than ever.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese?, a brilliant new parable that shows readers how to stay calm and successful, even in the most challenging of environments. A young man lives unhappily in a valley. One day he meets an old man who lives on a mountain peak. At first the young man doesn't realize that he is talking to one of the most peaceful and successful people in the world. But in the course of further encounters and conversations, the young man comes to understand that he can apply the old man's remarkable principles and practical tools to his own life to change it for the better. Spencer Johnson knows how to tell a deceptively simple story that teaches deep lessons. The One Minute Manager (co-written with Ken Blanchard) sold 15 million copies and stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for more than twenty years. Since it was published a decade ago, Who Moved My Cheese? has sold more than 25 million copies. In fact there are more than 46 million copies of Spencer Johnson's books in print, in forty-seven languages--and with today's economic uncertainty, his new book could not be more relevant. Pithy, wise, and empowering, Peaks and Valleys is clearly destined to becomeanother Spencer Johnson classic.

Como sacarle partido a los buenos y malos momentos—en el trabajo y en la vida. Los picos y valles no solo son los buenos y los malos momentos que suceden. Tambien son la forma en que te sientes interiormente y respondes a las circunstancias exteriors. Los picos y valles estan conectados. Los errores que cometes en los buenos momentos actuales crean los malos momentos del futuro. Las cosas sabias que haces en los malos momentos actuales crean los buenos momentos del futuro.
