In the bestselling tradition of Whale Done! and The One Minute
Manager, their entertaining and inspiring new book is a parable about
the competition between two leaders with totally different management
styles--a story that reveals the ingredients of truly effective
leadership.
How can you become a more successful manager, a stronger team leader,
and a motivator who gets the best results from a group? Ken Blanchard
and Marc Muchnick's The Leadership Pill provides the answer.
Consider this tantalizing possibility: What if there were a pill that
could actually stimulate the natural powers of the mind and body to
provide leadership? In the story, an amazing new pill heightens one
leader's powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating him in
an obsessive and shortsighted direction with disastrous results. In
contrast, the Effective Leader, working without a pill, proclaims that
"only through sustainability can our teams remain motivated and
successful." An inspiring and supportive leader, he supplies the right
ingredients, earning his team's respect and trust with a blend of
integrity, partnership, and affirmation. The hard-won result is a highly
motivated team producing consistent top performance and genuine success.
Ultimately it is recognized that "leadership for a lifetime" is much
easier to digest than a pill for leaders looking for a quick fix.
Destined to be a transforming experience for countless readers, The
Leadership Pill shows business managers at any level how to apply the
right techniques for getting both results and the commitment of their
people, even when the pressure to perform is high.
