The One Minute Manager (co-author Spencer Johnson, 1982) combines Blanchard's management theory with the parable writing style Johnson established in his Value Tales for children in the 1970s. In 2001, an article in The Wall Street Journal said that The One Minute Manager bore a resemblance to an article written by Blanchard's former colleague, Arthur Elliott Carlisle. In 2015 the book was revised and released as The New One Minute Manager.
