Ken Blanchard
Author of "The One Minute Manager"
Few people have impacted the day-to-day management of people and companies more than Ken Blanchard. A gregarious, prominent and sought-after author, speaker, and business consultant, Ken is universally characterized by friends, colleagues, and clients as one of the most insightful, powerful, and compassionate men in business today. A multitude of Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing entrepreneurial enterprises have benefited from his unique approach to managing and developing people.
Blanchards's impact as a writer in the field of management has been especially far-reaching. The best-selling business book of all time, The One Minute Manager (1982), has sold over nine million copies and has been translated into more than 25 languages. Management of Organizational Behavior, the textbook Ken co-wrote with Dr. Paul Hersey, has become a classic and is now in its seventh edition. Throughout 1995, the Business Week best-seller list included two of Ken's most recent books, Raving Fans: Satisfied Customers Just Aren't Enough (1992) and Everyone's a Coach (1995), co-written with Don Shula, along with the still-influential The One Minute Manager. In 1996 Blanchard co-authored Exploring the World of Business, a college text that will be used in Introduction to Business courses all over the country.
Blanchard is chairman of Blanchard Training and Development, Inc., a full-service management consulting and training company which he co-founded in 1979 with his wife Marjorie. He is also a visiting lecturer at Cornell University, where he is a Trustee Emeritus.
Blanchard has been acknowledged for his outstanding speaking ability and contributions to the world of management and training. In 1991, the National Speaker's Association awarded him its highest distinction, the Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE). The 1992 Golden Gavel award was given to Blanchard by Toastmasters International. He was also inducted into the Human Resource Development Hall of Fame in 1992 by Training magazine and Lakewood Conferences. In 1996 American Society for Training and Development presented him with the Distinguished Contribution to Human Resource Development Award.
Blanchard has been a guest on a number of national television programs, including Good Morning America and The Today Show, and has been featured in Time, People, U.S. News & World Report and a host of other popular publications. He has his own newsletter, Profiles of Success, and is a contributing editor to Executive Excellence newsletter and Positive Living magazine.
