Book Summary

This practical fable tackles a pervasive leadership challenge: managers taking on problems that belong to their team—referred to as “monkeys.” The story follows a new manager who, overwhelmed by issues “jumping” onto his back, seeks advice from the One Minute Manager.

They introduce Oncken’s Four Rules of Monkey Management, aiming to help leaders:

  1. Define the monkey – Clarify the problem (task) and who it really belongs to.

  2. Assign ownership – Ensure the person who owns the problem keeps it.

  3. Schedule check-ins – Agree on when the owner reports back.

  4. Feed and care for the monkey – Protect the owner’s time and resource for follow-through.
