This is a book about repairing relationships and asking
for forgiveness with a central message about honesty and integrity.
It contains some inspiring ideas and made me think about my
values.
The book is the fictional story of a Young Man who is Chief
Assistant to the President of a Large Company. The company
has seen hard times recently and the President has not been
open about mistakes made. In search of advice the Young Man
visits the One Minute Manager and asks for help. “The
toughest part of apologising is realising and admitting that
you were wrong” advises The One Minute Manager. If you
think about it you’ll discover that the core of most
problems is the same, only the names, dates, and places change.
“At the core of most problems is a truth you don’t
want to face”.
