LifeandLeadership.com Summary
Coaching is a hallmark of the transformational and empowering leadership philosophies, and Kenneth Blanchard’s One-Minute Manager (see original volume) is perhaps the most widely read series on that subject. This installment in the series addresses the “monkey on the back” of many leaders – over-reliance on self which keeps them from proper delegation and leads to negligence of self, family, and other primary relationships. This book describes how to achieve balance between supervision and delegation to increase productivity and improve one’s quality of life outside work.
One-Minute Manager is part of Blanchard’s model of Situational Leadership. It is the base of most of Blanchard’s works, all of which express Empowering Leadership. Blanchard has also written extensively on the subject of Servant Leadership.
