For decades, The One Minute Manager® has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles it lays out are timeless, our world has changed drastically since the book’s publication.

In their concise, easy-to-read story, they teach readers three very practical secrets about leading others—and explain why these techniques continue to work so well.

Purpose. To determine if testing arcuate visual fields along oblique axes is as effective as testing arcuate visual fields using the traditional method. Methods. Eight "patients" had front surface mirror-‐coated lens blanks taped over each of their eyes. We placed two layers of hypoallergenic tape on the back of the lens blanks to induce different severities of quadrantanopias. The mirror coating prevented the tape from being visible to observers. Of the sixteen lens blanks, four had no defect, four had a mild defect, four had a moderate defect and four had a severe, complete quadrantanopia. The defects were verified with a tangent visual field test. Fifteen "examiners" performed a traditional visual field screener along the principal meridians and a non-‐traditional visual field screener along the oblique axes on each patient. They were given a minute and a half to perform each method. The examiners recorded if they observed a defect and in which quadrant it was located. Results. The examiners were able to correctly identify 67% of eyes with the traditional method and 63% of eyes with the oblique method. The traditional method was 61.9% sensitive and 83.5% specific. The oblique method was 58.9% sensitive and 75.9% specific. A Bland-‐Altman analysis showed that the mean of the differences between the two methods was close to zero, however, the degree of variability between testing methods was larger than desirable. This suggests a low degree of repeatability from one examiner to the next. Conclusions. Collectively, the examiners as a group showed slightly better sensitivity and specificity with the traditional method.
