Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Steve on January 07, 2022

When I started my career in 1985, there was no Spotify or Apple Music. If you wanted to listen to a collection of your favorite artist's music, you had to either buy all of their albums or wait for them to release a greatest hits album. Around that same time, I started my journey on developing my lea......more
