As a manager the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.
Ken Blanchard
For a manager to be perceived as a positive manager, they need a four to one positive to negative contact ratio.
Ken Blanchard
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
Ken Blanchard
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Ken Blanchard
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
