Is this the best book on Leadership EVER ??!!
Hi Folks
I have just finished reading “ Leading at a higher level “ by Ken Blanchard and published by FT Prentice Hall and it has jumped straight to the top of my list of books on Leadership.
If you’ve read it – what did you think?
If you haven’t read it – what is top of your list?
After 25 years of working with and advising businesses and leaders ( remember the one minute manager? ) Ken argues that high performing companies
- Set their sights on the right target and vision
- Treat their customers right
- Treat their people right
- Develop the right kind of leadership
Easy then you say – except of course what is right!!????
Ken shares his experience of working with High Performing Companies across 300 pages and 13 chapters with the majority of the book concerned with treating your people right ( covering for example empowerment is the key , self leadership , partnering for performance )
Full of simple models and concepts, littered with illustrations, it provides an excellent framework for thinking about your companies triple bottom line “ provider of choice, employer of choice ,investment of choice “
Whether you agree with the ideas or not! this will give you plenty to mull over AND should stimulate some action.
What do you think ?

Blanchard books are great, I read the one-minute manager, situational leadership and others except for "leading at a higher lever." All his books helped me a lot in my managing skills.
