PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

How can you become a more successful manager, a stronger team leader and a motivator who gets the best results from a group? Ken Blanchard's inspiring new book provides the answer. In a beguiling, sometimes humorous fashion, THE LEADERSHIP PILL conjures up a tantalizing possibility: What if there was a pill that could stimulate the natural powers of the mind and body to provide leadership? In the story, an amazing new pill heightens one leader's powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating him in a short-sighted direction. He is coercive, obsessed with immediate results and drives his team relentlessly until, after a brief spike in performance, they suffer early burnout. In contrast, the 'Effective Leader', working without a pill, inspires and supports his team. He supplies the right ingredients, earning the respect and trust of his team with a blend of integrity, partnership and affirmation. Ultimately it is recognised that there is more to effective leadership than a wonder 'pill'. Destined to be a transforming experience for thousands of readers, THE LEADERSHIP PILL shows how to apply the right techniques, no matter how pressured a business situation.

For more than thirty years renowned business consultant and top selling author Ken Blanchard, and legendary NFL coach Don Shula, have motivated teams to achieve excellence.

At the heart of the book is a simple acronym that describes the qualities of an effective leader:
C onviction-drive – Never compromise your beliefs
O verlearning – Practice until it’s perfect
A udible-ready – Know when to change
C onsistency – Respond predictably to performance
H onesty-based – Walk your talk.

Using a highly effective ‘tag-team’ approach, Blanchard and Shula impart the five leadership secrets behind this acronym: Shula explains how each coach concept works on the field, and then Blanchard explains how you can apply each concept to a leadership situation.

'Putting The One Minute Manager to Work' is the companion volume to 'The One Minute Manager', the international best-seller praised by top managers around the world.

This book shows how the One Minute management techniques can be applied on a day-to-day basis to improve performance, productivity and profits. Their message is that there is no ‘quick fix’. The keynotes to successful management are conviction and consistency.

'Putting The One Minute Manager to Work' is essential reading for all those who aspire to management, and to managing well.

Ken Blanchard, author of the One Minute Manager, and his co-authors, do here for teamwork what Gung Ho! did for motivation and Raving Fans for Customer Service.

Using the entertaining and easily-digested parable style that made those books so successful, Blanched et al have a simple but very powerful message to convey.

The story is about Alan, who gets fired, despite being highly successful, because of his lone wolf mentality. He breaks through his initial resistance to new ways of working by spending some of the new-found time on his hands coaching his son’s hockey team, and in the process learns all about the power of teamwork.

An inspirational guide to the art of working successfully together (and the power that derives from being part of a team), this is an invaluable read for anyone who has to work with other people, from one of the world’s most successful business authors.

With 'Big Bucks!' bestselling authors Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles unlock the secrets of making serious money for both you and your company.

Through a series of easy to follow steps and powerful strategies, Blanchard and Bowles show how you can create lasting prosperity. They reveal how anyone – armed with a set of basic tools – can build personal wealth and financial security.

By focusing on concepts like commitment, intensity, purpose, and even fun, the authors have crafted a totally new – and irresistible – paradigm for unlimited success.
