Kenneth H. Blanchard

“The key to successful leadership is influence, not authority.”

“A clear purpose will unite you as you move forward, values will guide your behavior, and goals will focus your energy.”

“Leaders empower individuals by building trust and coaching competence in their job roles and networking skills.”

“Some of the greatest advances happen when people are bold enough to speak their truth and listen to others speak theirs.”

“We can’t always control what happens in our lives- things will go well, things will go poorly-but what we can control is our response to those events.”

“When people don't know what’s going on, it’s human nature for them to imagine a version that’s ten times worse than the truth!”

“Once leaders embrace the role of coach, they realize the weight of leadership is now balanced between themselves and their direct reports.”
