Unlock Now Self Leadership And The One Minute Manager: Gain The Mindset And Skillset For Getting What You Need To Succeed Planned By Kenneth H. Blanchard Released Through Publication
material and advice was good and useful, It presents ideas I've known for some time, but in a way that is easy to think about and apply to your own career.
But I really hated the way it was presented and I wish it hadn't been in the format of what felt like a middle school play.
I would much have preferred it was presented to me in a nonfiction presentation with examples provided, This is a personal preference and I would not deter others from reading the book since the author does lay out some good points to think about.
Another great book from the One Minute Manager series, I really like this kind of narrative and the hidden lessens inside of it, This one is especially interesting, because it again comes up with the concept of situational leadership and combines it with the idea you need a special mindset to lead properly.
Great!!!
I am very happy after I read this book it gave me a clear understanding about step of self confidence and to active my power Magic!
Completed the book in day, but I learned a lot! Love the business card trick, ready to be a magician! I finished "Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager" last night.
Overall, I liked it. I've read a couple of leadership books with a similar style I've typically heard it called a "leadership parable", and it makes for a nice read.
Basically, you're not just given blank leadership principles, Instead, those principles are couched in a noveltype story of a fictional leader in a realistic situation who has to learn those specific leadership principles to succeed.
There isn't much meat to it, . . you could probably give a pretty good summary on axnotecard, but because it gives you the info within a story, that does kind of help you think through possible situations and scenarios that you may face.
This book, originally published in, introduced a proven path to empowerment in the format of a quickread parable, In the increasingly fastpaced world of work, this updated edition is more relevant than ever as it gives readers three tricks to managing themselves.
We are introduced to Steve, a new advertising account executive, His first ad campaign, for United Bank, is rejected as “garbage” by the bank president, Stunned, and afraid that he will be fired, Steve, instead of driving back to the agency, comes upon Caylas Café, in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
There he meets the owner, Cayla, doing magic tricks for children, Little does he know that Cayla, a protégé of the One Minute Manager, will help to change his life, and perhaps save his job.
Cayla meets a Steve who is full of excuses, and sees himself as a victim, She proceeds to teach him about selfleadership, something the One Minute Manager had taught her and asked her to pass on to others.
She tells him that he will be ready for selfleadership when he accepts responsibility for his own success, She tells him that empowerment is something someone gives you, while selfleadership is what you do to make it work.
She will teach Steve three “tricks” of selfleadership:
, Challenge assumed constraints. An assumed constraint is a belief that limits your experience,
. Activate your points of power, She teaches him about five points of power knowledge power, personal power, relationship power, task power and position power.
She tells him that perhaps his greatest assumed constraint was not realizing his own power,
. Be proactive! Get what you need to succeed! The two most powerful words to get what you need to success are, “I NEED”.
When you use the “I need” phrase, you are coming from a position of strength,
Cayla introduces Steve to the Situational Leadership II Model, which includes the Development Continuum, The Development Continuum is a model of four stages people usually experience when they are learning to master something.
For each development level, the model provides a corresponding leadership style to provide you with the appropriate amount of direction and/or support you need.
For example, when your competence is low, you need direction, When your commitment is low, you need support,
This is a helpful, quickread, that you will benefit from reading, I have read this book previously but it has been revised recently so it was worth another read through as a refresher.
I enjoy Mr. Blanchard's easy writing style. I am sure I will listen to again, Next to John C. Maxwell, Ken Blanchard is one of the writers who has influenced and shaped the way I think and practice leadership.
Most of his books, perhaps except Lead Like Jesus, are short, concise, and filled with pearls of wisdom, Whats unique about Blanchard and other cowriters of The One Minute Manager Series is that he can teach leadership principles and skills in a fun way through narrative and interesting stories.
Some of the books that make a difference in my leadership life are The Secret and Great Leaders Grow in which he coauthored with Mark Miller.
I fully recommend any of Blanchards books,
Now, about the book There is one fact that every leader must understand: If a leader cant lead him/herself effectively, everything else in the leaders life will be a struggle.
Selfleadership comes first. Some of the toughest challenges you face as a leader, I think, come from the way you lead yourself.
You may assume they come from someone or something else when you actually need to look at yourself as the source.
Ken Blanchard writes, “Today its imperative that people become selfleaders individuals capable of setting priorities, taking initiative, and solving problems independently.
” Yes, you need to become a leader who is a proactive contributor and not just a reactive ordertaker, In todays fastchanging world, selfleaders are all the more important, Blanchard observes, “Our research shows that when individual contributors and managers align around selfleadership, both become more engaged and produce better results.
As a result, customers are happier and organizations become more profitable, ” He continues, “In fact, a culture of selfleadership is the hallmark of great organizations, ” Are you ready to be a selfleader
