Few people have impacted the day-to-day management of people and companies more than Ken Blanchard. A prominent, gregarious, sought-after author, speaker, and business consultant, Dr. Blanchard is universally characterized by his friends, colleagues, and clients as one of the most insightful, powerful, and compassionate individuals in business today. When Ken speaks, he speaks from the heart with warmth and humor. His unique gift is to speak to an audience and communicate with each person as if they were alone and talking one on one. He is a polished storyteller with a knack for making the seemingly complex easy to understand. From his phenomenal best-selling book, "The One Minute Manager®", coauthored with Spencer Johnson, which has sold more than 12 million copies and remains on best-seller lists, to the library of books coauthored with Sheldon Bowles, "Raving Fans"®, "Gung Ho!"®, "Big Bucks!", and "High Five!", Ken’s impact as a writer is far reaching. His book "The On-Time, On-Target Manager", continues to climb the best-seller charts. His book on spirituality in the workplace, "Leadership by the Book", coauthored with Phil Hodges and Bill Hybels, is giving new meaning to Servant Leadership. In his book, "The One Minute Entrepreneur" he confronts many of the typical problems all entrepreneurs face when starting up a business.
