About this audiobook
Twenty years after creating the phenomenal bestselling classic The One Minute Manager, Ken Blanchard returns to its roots with the most powerful and essential title in the series as he explores the skills needed to empower yourself to success.
In this captivating business parable, bestselling author Ken Blanchard tells the story of Steve, a young advertising executive who is about to lose his job. During a series of talks with a gifted magician named Cayla, Steve comes to realize the power of taking responsibility for his situation and not playing the victim. Passing along the knowledge she has learned from The One Minute Manager, Cayla teaches Steve the three tricks of self leadership. These three techniques not only empower him to keep his job, but give him the skills he needs to keep growing, learning, and achieving.
The primary message of SELF-LEADERSHIP AND THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER is that power, freedom, and autonomy come from having the right mindset and the skills needed to take personal responsibility for success.

Reviews for Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome book on Self Leadership. This truly helped me. Thank you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very easy to read. It shares a great model for learning.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I couldn’t find the pdf. It says to download it before the audio.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is one of those batter-dipped, deep-fried advice books by which I mean it is cast in the form of a story in order, like okra, to make it more like something you would consume willingly vs under duress. If, like me, you read An Old Fashioned Girl (Louisa May Alcott) and thought "boy, these 'model person' narratives are really dated, in the sense that no one writes them anymore" you have simply never ventured into the Business Parable genre, in which it is the done thing. Like model girl stories they are a little dissatisfying as story (wake me when the business genre has achieved Mansfield Park). This instance is readable but did not contain anything bookmark-worthy.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Steve, advertsing executive comes to realize the power of taking responsibility for his situation and not playing the victim. Steve is in danger of losing his job but soon learns power, freedom and autonomy comes from having the right mindset. Have read other books from the "One minute manager..." series that were a LOT better!
