Ken Blanchard's phenomenal bestsellers, such as The One Minute Manager® and Raving Fans®, have made him a globally recognized business legend. Now, he has joined with noted business author Steve Gottry to explore one of the most common and insidious problems plaguing the workplace -- procrastination. The On-Time, On-Target Manager tells the highly recognizable story of Bob, a middle manager who tends to put things off to the last minute. He misses deadlines, rationalizes, justifies, and tries to explain. Luckily, Bob is sent to his company's CEO -- a new kind of CEO -- the ""Chief Effectiveness Officer"" -- who helps him deal with the three negative side effects of procrastination: lateness, poor work quality, and stress to himself and others. Bob learns how to overcome procrastination, and transforms himself into a productive On-Time, On-Target Manager through the Three P strategy. With this engaging parable, Blanchard and Gottry tackle the problem of procrastination head-on, offering practical strategies any professional can immediately put into practice to improve his or her performance.

The On-Time, On-Target Manager

Collaboration Begins with YouEveryone knows collaboration creates high performing teams and organizations-and with today's diverse, globalized workforce it's absolutely crucial. Yet it often doesn't happen because people and groups typically believe that the problem is always outside: the other team member, the other department, the other company. Bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors use Blanchard's signature business parable style to show that, in fact, if collaboration is to succeed it must begin with you. This book teaches people at all levels-from new associates to top executives-that it's up to each of us to help promote and preserve a winning culture of collaboration. The authors show that busting silos and bringing people together is an inside-out process that involves the heart (your character and intentions), the head (your beliefs and attitudes), and the hands (your actions and behaviors). Working with this three-part approach, Collaboration Begins with You helps readers develop a collaborative culture that uses differences to spur contribution and creativity; provides a safe and trusting environment; involves everyone in creating a clear sense of purpose, values, and goals; encourages people to share information; and turns everyone into an empowered self-leader. None of us is as smart as all of us. When people recognize their own erroneous beliefs regarding collaboration and work to change them, silos are broken down, failures are turned into successes, and breakthrough results are achieved at every level.

The New One Minute Manager

In the tradition of the bestselling book The One Minute Manager, authors Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy, entrepreneur and founder of Chick-Fil-A restaurants, present The Generosity Factor--a parable that demonstrates the virtues of generosity. It's the story of a meeting between the Broker--a young man on his way up the corporate ladder who has the illusion of success, yet deep inside feels insignificant--and the Executive--the CEO of a very large and successful company who claims the greatest joy in his life is his ability to give to others. Thinking he might get a competitive edge by meeting with the Executive, the Broker's worldview is turned upside down as he talks to the Executive and hears the principles that form his life. He calls it The Generosity Factor--a way to give time, talent, treasure, and touch to those in need. Providing a unique twist on what it means to thrive in business, at home, and in life, this story will forever change your definition of success.

The Generosity Factor

Bestselling author Ken Blanchard brings you the tie-in guide to accompany his TrustWorks! training program. Ken Blanchard is famous for his ability to make the seemingly complex simple. In Trust Works! he brings his talent to bear on the complicated and timely issue of trust. The book begins with an allegory – in this case, it’s the story of a dog and a cat with major trust issues. Their fighting, backbiting, and sabotaging soon affects the whole household – including the humans. It quickly becomes clear that unless the ongoing conflicts can be resolved, all of the pets will be without a home. Through the counsel of a wise old parrot, the animals learn the ABCDs of trust, becoming aware of the unconscious behaviours that had been eroding their relationships and begin to change their actions. In the end, the results have a positive effect that reaches far beyond the dog and cats’ relationship. Applying lessons presented in the fable to real life situations, Blanchard explores his ABCD trust model to address issues like poor morale, miscommunication in relationships, poor customer service issues, and dysfunctional leadership. Trust is an evergreen topic but is particularly relevant today, as protests in cities throughout the world underscore a growing distrust of corporations and institutions. Now more than ever, people need trust-building skills and a common language for learning the behaviours that build – or erode – trust. TRUST WORKS! is the first book to create a common, easy-to-learn language for talking about trust in a way that can bring peace and co-operation where once there was dissension.

Wat zou u ervan denken als er een pil bestond die leiderschapskwaliteiten in managers kon opwekken? Eindelijk een makkelijke oplossing voor een moeilijk probleem? In deze parabel van Marc Muchnick en Ken Blanchard blijkt er zo’n pil te zijn, die echter precies doet wat je van makkelijke oplossingen mag verwachten: hij werkt heel goed op de korte termijn, maar richt op de lange duur meer schade aan. De Effectieve Leider, hoofdpersoon van dit verhaal, daagt de uitvinders van de leiderschapspil uit en stelt een test voor: hij zal een onwillig team leiden zónder pil, en de situatie na een jaar vergelijken met een neutraal team dat door een pillenslikkende manager wordt geleid. Na een initiële achterstand brengen zijn methodes – gericht op wederzijds respect, partnerschap en integriteit – een duurzaam resultaat, dat noch door zijn team, noch door de voorstanders van de leiderschapspil voor mogelijk werd gehouden!

"The only way to create great relationships and results is through servant leadership. It's all about putting other people first." - from the foreword by John MaxwellWe've all seen the negative impact of self-serving leaders in every sector of our society. Not infrequently, they end up bringing down their entire organization. But there is another way: servant leadership. Servant leaders lead by serving their people, not by exalting themselves. This collection features forty-four renowned servant leadership experts and practitioners-prominent business executives, bestselling authors, and respected spiritual leaders-who offer advice and tools for implementing this proven, but for some still radical, leadership model. Edited by legendary business author and lifelong servant leader Ken Blanchard and his longtime editor Renee Broadwell, this is the most comprehensive and wide-ranging guide ever published for what is, in every sense, a better way to lead.

Servant Leadership in Action - How You Can Achieve Great Relationships and Results (Unabridged)

The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager® and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships. The past decade has seen the dramatic rise of a word now well known in corporate hallways: mentoring. But a new awareness about mentoring hasn’t necessarily meant an increased understanding of how to implement the practice. While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don’t know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don’t think they have the time or skills to do so. Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships. Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.

Refire! Don't Retire

Leadership legend and bestselling author Ken Blanchard and trust expert and thought leader Randy Conley present this carefully curated collection of fifty-two essential leadership principles that are easy to implement and practice. Effective leadership comes down to implementing everyday, commonsense practices to help organizations thrive-and yet so many leaders are still missing these fundamental principles from their personal and professional lives. Renowned business experts Ken Blanchard and Randy Conley disclose the simple truths about leadership they have gathered over their long and distinguished careers to help bring common sense into common practice. Featuring two sections-servant leadership and building trust-this book is a collection of Blanchard's greatest hits. It is chock-full of profound and memorable (and in some cases counterintuitive) leadership wisdom, such as -	Create autonomy through boundaries. -	People who plan the battle rarely battle the plan. -	A relationship with no trust is like a cell phone with no internet. All you can do is play games. -	The most important part of leadership is what happens when you're not there. This book will help readers incorporate these integral practices into their leadership style, build trust through servant leadership, and make a difference in their own life and the lives of those they influence.

Simple Truths of Leadership

Bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors bring his signature "business parable" style to a critical skill for today's workplace: collaboration. Everyone knows that collaboration creates high-performing teams and organizations. Yet it often doesn't happen, because people and groups typically believe that they are doing what's needed-the problem is always outside: the other team member, the other department. So people stay in their silos and the creative energy collaboration generates is lost. This book shows that collaboration begins with you. It is an inside-out process that starts with your heart (who you are) and head (what you know and believe), then moves to your hands (what you do). The authors help people develop a collaborative culture by utilizing differences, nurturing safety and trust, instituting clear purposes and goals, talking openly, and empowering themselves and others. When people recognize and change erroneous beliefs and actions regarding collaboration, failures can be turned into successes and breakthrough results achieved at every level.

Collaboration Begins with You

"The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time." Effective leadership—whether on the job, in the community, at church, or in the home—starts on the inside. In this revised classic, renowned leadership expert Ken Blanchard guides you through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus.

Whose are you going to be?Who are you going to be?Learning to lead like Jesus can be described as the process of aligning two internal domains (the heart and the head) and two external domains (the hands and the habits). These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book, from which you will learn how to: Integrate your faith with your role and responsibility as a leaderIdentify your prioritiesBuild your relationship with God in a new and personal wayMove from success to significanceLead out of service rather than self-interestPut the love of Jesus into actionWith simple yet profound principles from the life of Jesus, and dozens of stories and leadership examples from his own life, Ken Blanchard once again shows us the way effective leaders lead.

Mentoría al minuto

Los magníficos libros best seller de Ken Blanchard, como El nuevo mánager al minuto y Raving Fans, lo han convertido en una leyenda mundialmente reconocida en el mundo de los negocios. Millones de personas buscan en los libros de Blanchard enfoques innovadores sobre gerencia, liderazgo, servicio al cliente y mucho más. Ahora ha unido fuerzas con Steve Gottry, el renombrado escritor sobre temas de negocios, para explorar uno de los problemas más comunes e insidiosos que son una plaga en los lugares de trabajo: la postergación. Este libro es la historia de Bob, un gerente típico de nivel intermedio que tiene por costumbre dejar las cosas para el último minuto. Como consecuencia, nunca cumple con las fechas límite, pues su falta de concentración hace que se dedique a hacer tareas sin sentido antes de dedicarse a las cosas realmente importantes. Como muchos otros profesionales, Bob racionaliza, justifica y trata de explicar. Por suerte, envían a Bob al «Jefe oficial de eficacia» de su compañía, el cual le ayuda a enfrentarse con los tres efectos secundarios de la postergación: el atraso, la baja calidad laboral y el estrés, tanto para él como para los demás. Bob aprende a transformarse y pasar de gerente de último minuto y con tendencia a las crisis, en un productivo gerente puntual y certero. Por medio de esta cautivadora parábola, Blanchard y Gottry ofrecen estrategias prácticas que cualquier profesional puede llevar a la práctica para mejorar su rendimiento.

Todos los días organizaciones alrededor del mundo lanzan iniciativas de cambio, muchas veces de gran magnitud y con grandes gastos, destinadas a mejorar el statu quo. Sin embargo, entre el cincuenta y el setenta por ciento de esos esfuerzos por lograr un cambio fracasan. Unos pocos perecen de manera repentina, pero son muchos los que mueren con una muerte larga y dolorosa que agota los recursos, la energía y la moral de la organización. ¿Quién, o qué, está matando el cambio? Eso es lo que vas a descubrir en esta ingeniosa historia de misterio. La historia presenta al Agente Mike McNally, un detective al estilo de Columbo, que está investigando el asesinato de otro cambio más. Uno tras otro, el Agente McNally interroga a trece sospechosos principales, entre ellos una líder miope llamada Victoria Visión, un gerente que continuamente llega tarde a su oficina, llamado Ernesto Urgencia, una ejecutiva llamada Clara Comunicación, cuya laringitis hace que le sea totalmente imposible comunicarse, y varios personajes sospechosos más. Con toda seguridad, los sospechosos te van a parecer familiares, y es muy posible que los puedas relacionar con tu propio lugar de trabajo. Al final, el Agente McNally resuelve el caso de una manera que te inspirará a convertirte en un eficaz Agente de Cambio en tu propia organización. Al final del libro hay una guía que te mostrará paso a paso la manera de aplicar las lecciones de esta historia al mundo real. Las preguntas clave te ayudarán a evaluar el grado de salud de las iniciativas de cambio que se producen en tu organización, y aprenderás mejores prácticas para capacitar y mantener la producción del cambio deseado.

¿Quien mató a Cambio?

«Si un desempeño pobre está atacando a su empresa, no se deje atrapar. Saque provecho de ¡Cierre las brechas!». —Harvey Mackay, autor del best seller del New York Times Nada entre tiburones sin que te coman vivo «Este libro describe un enfoque, un marco para la acción y unas herramientas que pueden mejorar el desempeño general de una compañía mediante su personal. Este es un libro que tanto los gerentes de Recursos Humanos como los supervisores inmediatos deben leer». —Mike Woerner, director de Recursos Humanos, Wawa, Inc. Gracias a sus clásicos empresariales, como El nuevo mánager al minuto y El autoliderazgo y el ejecutivo al minuto, el autor best seller Ken Blanchard se ha convertido en un gurú de los negocios reconocido nacionalmente que presenta nuevos enfoques revolucionarios sobre la gerencia, el liderazgo, el servicio al cliente y más. Ahora, Blanchard trabaja en equipo con Dana y Jim Robinson para enfrentar el problema crucial del desempeño humano en ¡Cierre las brechas!, una divertida parabola de negocios que combina el talento de Blanchard para contar historias con el enfoque pionero de los Robinson sobre la resolución de problemas. Los gerentes de todos los niveles que laboran en las organizaciones a menudo identifican un problema y se lanzan de inmediato a resolverlo. Sin embargo, muchas veces la solución no resuelve el problema, porque el gerente no descubrió la raíz del asunto. Blanchard y sus coautores están aquí para enseñarle a evitar que caiga en esta... trampa destructora. En ¡Cierre las brechas!, Bill Ambers, el director de servicio al cliente en una firma de alta tecnología, se encuentra con un problema en la empresa: su centro de llamadas no está alcanzando el número de llamadas estipulados. Con la ayuda de Michael St. Vincent, jardinero y legendario jefe de Saint’s Nurseries and Landscaping, aprende a cavar sistemáticamente hasta encontrar la raíz del problema, y al hacerlo descubre tanto el enfoque de BRECHAS en cuanto a mejorar el rendimiento y una herramienta llamada Cerrador de brechas. Con su fascinante historia, sus ejemplos vívidos y su enfoque amistoso hacia el lector, ¡Cierre las brechas! es de lectura obligatoria para todo aquel que busca identificar y corregir los factores que impactan negativamente el desempeño, de tal manera que el impacto determinante es significativo y mensurable.
