Ken Blanchard

Few people have effected the day-to-day management of people and companies more than Ken Blanchard, Ph.D. A prominent, gregarious, sought after author, speaker, and business consultant, Dr. Blanchard is universally characterized by his friends, colleagues, and clients as one of the most insightful, powerful, and compassionate individuals in business today.

When Blanchard speaks, he speaks from the heart with warmth and humor. His unique gift is to speak to an audience and communicate with each person as if they were alone and talking one on one. He is a polished storyteller with a knack for making the seemingly complex easy to understand. From his phenomenal best-selling book, The One Minute Manager, co-authored with Spencer Johnson, which has sold more than 12 million copies and remains on best-seller lists, to the library of books coauthored with Sheldon Bowles, Raving Fans, Gung Ho!, Big Bucks!, and High Five!, Blanchard’s impact as a writer is far reaching. His latest book, Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager, explores the skills needed to become an effective self-leader. His book on spirituality in the workplace, Leadership by the Book, co-authored with Phil Hodges and Bill Hybels, is giving new meaning to Servant Leadership.

Blanchard is Chief Spiritual Officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies, an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife, Dr. Marjorie Blanchard, founded in 1979 in San Diego, California. He is also a visiting lecturer at his alma mater, Cornell University, where he is a trustee emeritus of the Board of Trustees. Blanchard is co-founder of The Center for FaithWalk Leadership, which is dedicated to helping leaders walk their talk in the marketplace.

Blanchard has received many awards and honors for his contributions in the fields of management leadership and speaking. The National Speakers Association awarded him its highest honor, the “Council of Peers Award of Excellence.” He was inducted into the HRD Hall of Fame by Training magazine and Lakewood Conferences and he received the Golden Gavel Award from Toastmasters International.
