Summary
Kenneth Blanchard, author of the well-known The One Minute Manager; Tareq al-Suwaidan mentions that he studied under him and describes him as a kind, fatherly man who embraces young people and their energy and encourages them 1. He recounts that William Oncken turned to him after publishers rejected his book on the monkey laws; Blanchard wrote a three-page foreword — being honest, he said in it that he had written nothing of the book but that foreword — and the book came out jointly as The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey 2 3.
