The New One Minute Manager Novels & Stories

Suddenly, the door of her vanity opened and her manager walked in. "Carla, someone came to meet you." Her manager said. This one is new after she came to Holywood, she find a new and loyal manager for her. She looked up at her through the mirror, "Who is it?" She asked. "He said he is a fan of yours." Carla frowned, "But I can't meet any fans now. Ask him to go away." "Well, I said it but he didn't leave. He insisted to meet only for two minutes. He seems powerful Carla. It could create a problem. I think two minutes are not too much to give?" Manaher proposed and she sighed.

He said. "Hello sir" She greeted back. "Aarya you must have seen the mail. There strict instructions from HR to be on time and not to miss this meeting. This new director seems to be very punctual better not to get in his bad books now." She nodded nervously. She liked her manager he was round, bald, and pink like a boiled egg, he was very patient with his team. "Sure Sir I will try my best. All the best to you as well" and grinned.

Did they make a mistake? I forced a smile in her direction. "Spend one minute in the restroom, and you'll get a 500 dollar fine." Confusion spread across her face. "What kind of nonsense is that? The company's never had a rule like that." My expression froze. "Alright, everyone, listen up." Our manager, Vivian Dune, sauntered out of her office. She put on an air of authority, acting as though nothing were out of the ordinary. "New company policy, everyone. For every minute you spend in the restroom, you'll get a 500 dollar fine.

“You’ll be reporting directly under Mr. Hayes initially.” The name barely registers. “Ready?” “Yes.” She knocks once and opens the door. “Sir, the new intern is here.” I stepped inside. And the world shifts. He’s standing by the window, in a fine black suit. Different setting, different clothes, same posture. Same controlled presence. The CEO was none other than Nathan. I recognized him instantly. He looked at me. For half a second, something flickered across his face, it was surprise. Then it was gone.

Just when she was about to thank the speaker, the manager appeared and gave an announcement. “Mr. Shaw has informed us to treat the newcomer like an intern.”

’’ The manager whispered and smiled to the guy in front of us. ‘’Nothing Sir, Miss Caroline was having confusion and I will explain it to her now. She is a newly hired employee so she still needs guidance.’’ The manager uttered and I don’t have a choice but to let a heavy sigh and agree to what he is saying. I am also afraid that I will cause trouble just because of my annoying ego. ‘’That’s nice Kevs. I don’t like stubborn employees here so better manage them well.’’ The man uttered with so much coldness in his voice like this is a super tiring scenario to him.

“No need to ask, we're all having a meeting with him in ten minutes.” “Why are you just mentioning that?” I was freaking out. “You know I have to take minutes at the meeting and all, I'm not even prepared.” “Sorry boo, but we were too engrossed in the gossip. Maybe that's why I forgot.” I sighed. “See you at the meeting later.” My position was a secretary to one of the general managers, so I quickly prepared. I'm less than ten minutes, everything was set. The new CEO walked in with a long trail of men in black following him, maybe for his security.

Everything had to be perfect. “This is my chance,” she whispered to herself, “I won’t mess this up.” Tomorrow was an important day. The new chairman of Rowland Corporation was officially starting, and she, as the department manager, would be giving the first presentation. She had never met the new chairman, only heard rumors that he was smart, strict, and sharp-eyed. There was no room for mistakes. Emily took a deep breath and adjusted her notes one last time before saving everything on her flash drive and laptop.

She was going to be a great Boss. “Attention everyone!” I said in a firm tone and the place was dead silent. This was one of my favorite benefits of being me. Everyone had to listen to what I had to say whether they liked it or not. “Good morning everyone, standing beside me is Giulia Mancini, your new CEO.” I stopped to observe the expression on their faces. Someone looked like he had something to say and I pointed him out. “Do you have anything to say?” "I do,” he answered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, one of the important things that I am going to bring up this morning is to let you met our new manager for the Asian branches, Miss Yen Ramos." "To let you see her qualifications, Miss Trish will do it for us." I glanced at Kim and ran my eyes on all of them, acknowledging everyone's presence with a smile. I didn't think Kim hadn't heard their whispering, but he didn't comment on it. Perhaps, it's something a leader is expected to do--to ignore nonsense criticism that's not worth his time.
