"The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time." -Ken Blanchard Effective leadership—whether on the job, in the community, at church or in the home—starts on the inside. Before you can hope to lead anyone else, you have to know who you are. Every leader must answer two critical questions: Whose are you going to be? Who are you going to be? One deals with your relationship to Christ. The other with your life purpose. In this newly revised classic, renowned leadership expert Ken Blanchard along guides readers through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus. It really could be described as the process of aligning two internal domains-the heart and the head; and two external domains—the hands and the habits. These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book. With simple yet profound principles from the life of Jesus, and dozens of stories and leadership examples from his own life, Ken Blanchard will once again show us the way effective leaders lead.

When she reunites with her estranged sister, Emma, Marie reveals she has a greater mission: find their mother, long thought dead, and discover the truth behind her inexplicable disappearance.

This insightful guide offers straightforward techniques to enhance positivity and redirect negativity, boosting productivity at work and home. Drawing parallels between people and killer whales, top business consultant Ken Blanchard, alongside SeaWorld coauthors, illustrates how both thrive when positivity is emphasized. Blanchard reveals that the methods used by animal trainers can significantly improve effectiveness in various aspects of life. Wes Kingsley, a business manager and family man, was inspired during a visit to SeaWorld, where he witnessed trainers guiding powerful killer whales to perform incredible feats. Engaging with the chief trainer, he learned about building trust, accentuating the positive, and redirecting negative behavior—key elements that enable such extraordinary performances. Reflecting on his own management style, Kingsley recognized how his accusatory approach undermined trust and strained relationships. Through this transformative journey, he discovered the importance of "Whale Done!"—celebrating successes rather than focusing on failures. Blanchard emphasizes that by adopting these techniques, individuals can foster a more supportive environment, enhancing productivity and morale. The strategies are easy to implement and can enrich personal relationships, empowering readers to become better parents and partners while achieving greater happiness and success in their lives.

Další přírůstek do celosvětově fenomenálně úspěšné řady Minutový manažer od Kena Blancharda tentokrát učí čtenáře, jak přijmout zodpovědnost za své chyby. Minutový manažer již představil svá tři tajemství managementu v knize Minutový manažer v praxi. Čtvrté tajemství představuje koncept, který, pokud je stoprocentně dodržován, je jedním z nejúčinnějších opatření, jak zlepšit morálka zaměstnanců. Blanchard učí čtenáře krok za krokem, jak přijmout zodpovědnost za své chyby a vypořádat se s následky špatných rozhodnutí i eventuálními škodami, aniž by to poškodilo fungování a integritu firmy i kolektivu.

Každý ví, že dobrá spolupráce je základem vysoce výkonných týmů a organizací. Přesto se to často nepodaří. Protože lidé a skupiny často nespolupracují tak, jak by měli, jeden člen týmu neví, co dělá druhý, různá oddělení mezi sebou špatně komunikují. Tato kniha ukazuje, jak se to dá změnit. Každý musí začít u svého srdce (kdo jsem) a hlavy (co vím a čemu věřím). Pak se dostáváme k rukám (co dělám). Autoři poskytují rady, jak rozvíjet kvalitní spolupráci. Měli byste využívat rozdíly mezi jednotlivými členy týmu, pečovat o důvěru, stanovit jasné vize a cíle, mluvit otevřeně a pomáhat sobě i ostatním. Když se podaří rozpoznat chyby a nedostatky a odstranit je, příznivě se to promítne do úspěchů a výsledků na všech úrovních.

Kniha Tajemství byla přeložena do dvaceti světových jazyků a prodaly se jí stovky tisíc výtisků po celém světě. Bezpochyby se strefila do všeobecné poptávky po efektivních myšlenkách v tomto významném oboru. Váš úkol je jednoduchý: Odhalte Tajemství - a pak Tajemství aplikujte v praxi. Pokud tak učiníte, změní se vaše schopnosti vedení i celý váš život jednou provždy.
