Kenneth Hartley Blanchard (born May 6, 1939) is an American author, business consultant and motivational speaker who has written more than 70 books, most of which were co-authored. His most successful book, The One Minute Manager, has sold more than 15 million copies and been translated into many languages.[1] He is the co-creator with Dr. Paul Hersey of Situational Leadership, a theory they developed while working on the textbook Management of Organizational Behavior.[2]
Blanchard is the Chief Spiritual Officer of Blanchard,[3] an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife, Marjorie Blanchard, co-founded in 1979 in San Diego, California.[4]
Education
Blanchard attended New Rochelle High School, and graduated in 1957.[5] He completed a BA degree in government and philosophy at Cornell University in 1961, an MA degree in sociology and counseling at Colgate University in 1963 and a PhD degree in education administration and leadership at Cornell University in 1967.[6][5][7]
Blanchard is a Cornell University trustee emeritus and visiting professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.[8] He and his wife were named Cornell Entrepreneurs of the Year in 1991.
Books
Some of Blanchard's more than 70 books are:
- The One Minute Manager (co-author Spencer Johnson, 1982) combines Blanchard's management theory with the parable writing style Johnson established in his Value Tales for children in the 1970s.[9] In 2001, a Wall Street Journal article noted that The One Minute Manager bore a resemblance to an article written by Blanchard's former colleague, Arthur Elliott Carlisle.[10][11] Carlisle's allegations of plagiarism were never proven. In 2015 the book was revised and released as The New One Minute Manager.[12]
- Leadership and the One Minute Manager: Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership® (1985) (in which he coined the term seagull manager)
- Raving Fans: A Revolutionary Approach to Customer Service (1993)
- Gung Ho! Turn On the People in Any Organization (1997)
- Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships (2002)
- The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do (2004)
- Leading at a Higher Level: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations (2006).[13]
