The Ken Blanchard Effect: Leadership is not about leaders
Leading at a Higher Level provides practical advice for leaders seeking to fulfill a higher purpose. The book is full of key learning's, sound business practices, as well as years of research which substantiate findings. Well worth the read not to mention the modest investment.
Old stuffs in a new bottle--save your money It seems to me that most of the stuffs covered in this book have already been covered several times in other books currently in market. I challenge you to prove me wrong. That means you just need to find more than 10% of whatever this book says about leadership is by any means NEW. 10% is a low standard for a book aiming to help you "leading at higher level". right?
The way I found out this is pretty simple. I just referred to the appendix in the book--"8th Habit", where Mr.Covey provides a quite comprehensive review of literature on leadership.
Save your money.

Excellent compilation... Not only does this book bring together years of research, but it also aggregates the minds of multiple leaders in the Blanchard organization. If you haven't read the other books coming out of the Ken Blanchard Companies, you'll definitely want to read this book. If you have read the others, this will be a great refresher and it provides a different format. As you know, many of the Blanchard books are in story format (aka parables) and now those story-based lessons are gathered into a more standard non-fiction book.
The book is broken into three sections: set your sights on the right target and vision, treat your customers right, and treat your people right. The greatest focus is on the latter: treat your people right. The argument is that if you treat your people right, they'll treat your customers right and work toward your target and vision. Makes sense for really large and even smaller organizations.
I'm still looking for that right book for the 1-5 person company. This is definitely a great book, but you have to transate and apply it to your scenario if there is noone between you and the customers.
Enjoy your reading time.
