This is the story of a One Minute Manager who was so successful in every way that he forgot one important thing: He forgot to stay physically fit. He was so much in demand that he ate on the run, didn't take time to exercise, and all the while saw his weight balloon and his breath grow shorter. He soon discovered success was endangering his health. His life was out of balance.
If you are a busy achiever with an overcrowded schedule, here is a useful blueprint that shows how to manage stress and make a lifetime commitment to fitness and well-being. By following four important strategies for balancing a complicated life, you can get your body back into shape and your life into proper perspective. The One Minute Manager Balances Work and Life offers a way to achieve not only a new, healthier style of living but also increased productivity. For the millions of readers of Ken Blanchard's bestselling books—including Raving Fans and Gung Ho!—this book offers invaluable advice for getting the most out of life.
"A wonderful guide to total body wellness for overstressed and overfed executives."
