How management can effectively rid themselves of ‘monkeys’ – other people’s responsibilities that cling to them and prevent them managing efficiently.This book explains in simple-minded if abstract terms how to achieve a balance between supervision and delegation for reduced tension and improved productivity in the work-place. "There is a high correlation between self-reliance and morale," stress the authors. With humor and logic they describe the delicate business of assigning monkeys to the right masters and keeping them healthy, i.e., fed and cared for: " … if monkeys are managed properly, you don't have to manage people so much.

If you're rushed off your feet, this book might be the answer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 December 2016

Verified Purchase

When I first read read this book in the early 1990s, it was a huge wake-up call.

No wonder there weren't enough working hours in the day as I allowed my staff's monkeys to jump onto my shoulders.

A monkey is the next move in a problem or project. All too easily, when a staff member comes to you with a problem, you can fall into the trap of accepting responsibility the next action eg thinking about it to try to find a solution, contacting someone else etc. The less time you have to work through it with your staff member, the greater the tendency for the monkey to jump.

To rub salt into the wound, your staff can then start chasing you to see if you've done your step. They are holding you accountable for doing their work.

The book explains the entire process which is illuminating. More importantly, it teaches you how to deal with these monkeys, which normally means making sure that they stay with the staff members but you remain in control by scheduling the next review meeting.

This monkey transfer happens with good intentions. As the manager, you know your job is to support your staff and you're responsible for what they do or don't do. Unfortunately allowing a monkey to jump is harmful to you, your organisation and your staff. You get busier, the business doesn't get the things done it needs done. Your staff can't learn and develop if, every time things get hard, you take responsibility for the job off them.

Just like The New One Minute Manager (The One Minute Manager) , this is a great book that will change the way you work. These books are told in a management fable style to make them easy to read and understand. This one doesn't have much of a story but hopefully you can see yourself first in the before scenario and then in the after when you've learnt monkey management.

About my book reviews - My goal is to help you to find the best business advice. I aim to be a tough reviewer because the main cost of a book is not the money to buy it but the time needed to read it and absorb the key messages. 5 stars means that I think that overall it has some vital messages in it.

Kindle version is Unreadable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 June 2022

Verified Purchase

The kindle version is almost unreadable. some examples:
"A Monk.q IsTńe NœtMoce"
"For There Are Tao Oiie To WoH It Rnd Oiie To Supervke It"
It's disappointing because it seems to happen when the author provides some insightful quote to drive home the point. It ruins the experience.
This is not a case of a few missed errors, it's every 2 or 3 pages. Even a cursory check

One of the best management books I have read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 January 2011

Verified Purchase

I have read hundreds of management books over the last five decades and can honestly say that this one is the best value for money you can ever hope to buy.

However, Because you have read this one, don't automatically assume you will get the same amount of value from the others in the "One Minute Manager" series.

I have recommended this to a score of friends and colleagues always with the same promise. Which is "if you don't find this book is worth the money, give it to me and I will refund the clost to you in full." Not one of the twenty people came back to me.

There are too many managers too ready to have their employees "monkeys" scramble on to their backs. (The monkey is the problem and this shows how to help "grow" your employee without taking their "monkey" onto your back.)

Many junior staff are "punch-drunk" by the time they get to you. They have been sworn at, shouted at, to such an extent that they are frighted to assume any authority for themselves. This shows how you can take one of these, now frightened people, and grow them into people who can take decisions for themselves.

As far as I can remember, the book is only around 150 pages. I came here as I am about to buy two more for people I know.

"there are always more monkeys clamouring for attention than we have time to manage"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 July 2009

Verified Purchase

Although part of Ken Blanchard's One Minute Manager series of short management books, the Monkey Manager idea comes from the late William Oncken Jr's "Managing Management's Time" seminars - still promoted by the organisation that bears his name.

A monkey is defined as the "next move" or task in a project, and the authors explain in the normal anecdotal style of this series how subordinates often succeed in delegating such tasks upwards to their harries managers, who, by accepting such tasks, make themselves the bottlenecks in their departments and unwittingly teach their subordinates that they don't really trust them. Their reward - even more "monkeys".

Blanchard, Oncken and Burrows proceed to demonstrate how a manager can give those monkeys back to subordinates, to everyone's increased satisfaction in the long run, make sure that new monkeys are correctly assigned to people in the first place and, in due course, how responsibilities for certain types of monkeys can be delegated properly, so that managers need on get involved in exceptional problems.

This is a great little book - only takes couple of hours to read its 130 pages - and if you can lived with the continuous repetition of the word "monkey" as a jargon word, which did get a little tiresome after a while, I believe that you would find it of great value.

I first read this about 5 or 6 years ago as part of a company project and ended up buying it to read again and pass on to my brother. If you struggle to manage your priorities while working its a good read to help you on your way.
