Summary

Twenty years after creating the phenomenal best-selling classic The One Minute Manager, Ken Blanchard returns to its roots with the most powerful and essential title in the series as he explores the skills needed to empower yourself to success.

In this captivating business parable, best-selling author Ken Blanchard tells the story of Steve, a young advertising executive who is about to lose his job. During a series of talks with a gifted magician named Cayla, Steve comes to realize the power of taking responsibility for his situation and not playing the victim. Passing along the knowledge she has learned from The One Minute Manager, Cayla teaches Steve the three tricks of self-leadership. These three techniques not only empower him to keep his job but give him the skills he needs to keep growing, learning, and achieving.

The primary message of Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager is that power, freedom, and autonomy come from having the right mind-set and the skills needed to take personal responsibility for success.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

strong concepts and practical, if story a little whimsical

Used to try and get better concept on leadership, while different style and it may take reader a little to get past the story arc it has great concepts and ideas. Putting some into practice has paid dividends for myself and would recommend just get past the first 20mins or so and it get’s interesting

A good story

I enjoyed the One Minute Manager which is a very well known and respected title. I am slowly working through a variety of Ken Blanchard books and this was enjoyable and easy to listen to. Worth 1 credit.

Easy and highly applicable

The sentence "A person who does not have a goal is used by someone who does" ... really struck me to act and do something about my own self development!!
The author used relevant and easy applicable metaphors. Really enjoyed the book and the insights provided!
