features Battalion/Page 14 September 2,1982 s Book gives ‘one minute’ plan for management United Press International NEW YORK — Contary to what many, perhaps most, busi ness people profess to believe to day, the best management still is personal, says Dr. Spencer John son, co-author of “The One Mi nute Manager.” Johnson thinks an instinctive belief in personal management VAN TO: First Christian Church (Disciples) Bryan LEAVES: Commons — 9:15 Northgate Post Office — 9:20 Dr. John Hoyle, Church School Teacher Mike Miller, Campus Minister 846-1221 is one reason for the success of the book he co-authored with Dr. Kenneth Blanchard of the University of Massachusetts. Be hind the catchy title is a clear blueprint for taking only one minute to carry out critical steps in management. Johnson, who is both a psychologist and a physician, practices in California. The book he and Blanchard wrote sold about 20,000 copies when they published it privately in California in May 1981. Now William Morrow & Co. is bring ing out a new edition with an initial print order of 400,000. Johnson said old fashioned personal management is best day in and day out if it is ex ecuted in a simple, direct and well thought out manner. That is what “The One Mi nute Manager” is about: how to communicate goals to em ployees in one minute and how to follow them up with one- minute praisings and one- minute reprimands that get re sults. Johnson and Blanchard have a thick file of enthusiastic letters from companies around the country saying their blueprint for day-to-day personal man agement really works. The whole thing boils down to three “secrets:” •Managers must first decide on a goal for a specific situation, write it out, then polish it until they are sure it can be communi cated effectively and correctly to employees in only one minute. Of course, setting the one- minute goal takes longer than a minute. •One-minute praising means prompt praising — “praise trainees when performance is approximately right, praise ex perienced people when per formance is exactly right." And the manager should be very spe cific about what he or she is praising. •A one-minute reprimand is an equally effective managerial secret but must be used with greater caution. With trainees and people learning a new task, Spencer and Blanchard say, it is probably best to go back to restating goals in one minute rather than to re primand. But with experienced workers who are competent and well motivated, they say the one minute reprimand gets marve lous results. oi FI Like the one minute praising, the reprimand should be prompt and specific. “Tell peo ple how you feel about what they did wrong and in no uatr. terms; stop for a fewsecoi|f uncomfortable silence, tlr. mind them of how mucL : value them and shake hatlp touch them in a way ih . them know you are hone VVA;, T their side” * lone ’ Soviet U Finally, the book say countrie them realize that when (entered priinand is over, it’s over Among tourists.

Frito-Lay Inc. is going nationwide with a revised line of “Grandma’s Cookies.” The new step puts Frito-Lay in competition with Nabisco, the giant of the cookie industry. But Nabisco plans to enter the “salty snack” business which Frito-Lay dominates. It’s a war that will be fought with national advertising, news paper coupons, and pressure on grocers for increased shelf space. Indications are it also will be fought with strong words. “From our point of view, there are some substantial con sumer dissatisfactions with the cookies now available national ly,” Kenneth Treece, a Frito-Lay vice president, said. “Consumer feedback shows that currently available cookies are, well, dry and stale-tasting.” Claude Hampton, president INTPOOUCTO^ sA „ 00 f 2 cu® s bEG ' N f . regular^ 20 <a 1982 Aerobic Poncing. |nc. f ® YYISC Cnafit Centen Fall 1982 Craft Workshops REGISTRATION BEGINS SEPTEMBER 13, 10:00am, IN THE CRAFT CENTER Eligibility: Anyone over 18 years of age can enroll + hniir hprAu«;p our operation 1s * Fees for non-students are set hour. b«™,. our SSS.'Tfc.OO c r ,rt coowr Identification at $1.80/instructional hour, card.

States c Doctors staple stomachs in experimental program United Press International PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Tak ing another shot at their dream of having slim bodies, almost two dozen overweight volun teers in an experimental prog ram have allowed doctors to per manently staple shut part of their stomachs. For researchers at the Rut gers Medical School at the Uni versity of Medicine and Dentis try of New Jersey, the operation is the keystone in a study of mor bid obesity — a condition in which people are at least 100 pounds overweight. The human guinea pigs see it as nothing less than a chance at a new life. “Having been there, I will never go back,” said Barbara Cox, 34, of Jersey City who has dropped 109 pounds from 252 pounds since her operation last July. “It has completely changed my whole life.” Dr. Robert Brolin, an assis tant professor of surgery at the medical school who has per formed the operations on the 22 participants, said the study con siders severe obesity a psycholo gical problem. “We just don’t understand why people let themselves get to the point where they require this type of operation,” he said. He said the program had worked for Cox because of her attitude. “She was successful because she was extremely well- motivated,” Brolin said. “She just decided once she had this, it was going to work.” Cox said, “I had enough of being fat, and nothing else was working,” explaining why she opted for the drastic operation. She agreed with the prog ram’s premise that obesity has psychological roots. “I had a lot of problems, one on top of the other, and eating was my solace,” said Cox, a tele phone operator in New York. “Eating got to be too much of a solace. She said she now realized many of her problems were compounded by her obesity: “I think I was very naive, I never realized how really pre judiced people are against fat people.” States (rears fr< 1980.” I “The first was :ould al me iden ntelligei ‘When I vas trut luinben Because the operation Jweh drastic, volunteers are cart jg ent ra screened. percent They must be at lear pounds overweight, jor glandular disorders, an##*"***—* riously desire to lose w “77lC Then they are interview Dr. Daniel GrcenfickLy^w tant professor of psychiai j[ €( j ( the school, who detent ■ whether they can toleraif««c Jd dramatic changes in a iy7() i habits imposed by the open™ volunteers ive or si sn’t kee] Once volunteers ^ accepted.
