- **One Minute Praises**: Catching people doing things right and providing specific, immediate positive feedback
- **One Minute Re-Directs**: Addressing mistakes quickly by focusing on the behavior, not the person, reaffirming their value while correcting the issue

## Application to Time Management

By reducing the time managers spend managing people through clarity, immediate feedback, and focused corrections, these techniques increase both managerial and team productivity. The book argues that becoming a more effective manager naturally translates to personal productivity gains.
