Managing Management Time: Who’s Got the Monkey?
Customer Review: THE ONLY MANAGEMENT BOOK YOU NEED TO READ
I started my management career in 1970 and was lucky to have attended a 2 day seminar in 1972 from William Oncken and I have read all his books. Once you read his work you quickly realize that you never have to read another management book again. His understanding of human nature and the real dynamics of organizations is profound. His work is as relavant now as it was 30 years ago. This is a must read for anyone trying to get ahead in corporate America.

Customer Review: Get More from your subordinates, give more to your manager
Funny, memorable and inspiring.

After 20 years in business I finally got it. And it came from this book. When I first became a supervisor my company provided me with a course in ‘monkey management’. I thought I understood it and my roll in it but I was only on the receiving end of the monkeys.

This book not only taught me how to be a professional manager, but also explained how to make my subordinates and myself ‘professional managees’. That’s whats not taught in so many management courses and seminars.

Don’t think because this book is out of print that it’s no longer relevant. I’ve been to seminars with Ken Blanchard, Tom Peters, et al. Oncken had them cold a long time ago.
