Kenneth Hartley Blanchard (born May 6, 1939) is an American author. His extensive writing career includes over 60 published books, most of which are co-authored books. His most successful book, The One Minute Manager, has sold over 13 million copies and been translated into many languages.[citation needed]

Blanchard is also the Chief Spiritual Officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies,[1] an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife, Marjorie Blanchard, co-founded in 1979 in San Diego, California.[2] Blanchard is known for the quote "None of us is as smart as all of us."[3]

Education

Blanchard attended New Rochelle High School, and graduated in 1957.[4] He completed a BA degree in government and philosophy at Cornell University in 1961, a MA degree in sociology and counseling at Colgate University in 1963 and a PhD degree in education administration and leadership at Cornell University in 1967.[5][4][6] As an undergraduate at Cornell, he joined the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI), and was selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.

Blanchard is a Cornell University trustee emeritus and visiting professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.[7] He and his wife were named Cornell Entrepreneurs of the Year in 1991.

Notable Works

Ken's writing career includes more than 60 books, and hundreds of keynote speeches. Some of his most notable books include:

  • The One Minute Manager (co-authored with Spencer Johnson), which has sold over 13 million copies and has been translated into 37 languages. [citation needed] It has been shown repeatedly to have been plagiarized at length from the original research of a former colleague of Blanchard and Johnson, Arthur Elliott Carlisle, who has never been acknowledged by Blanchard and Johnson as anything more than a subordinate co-author. The book was pointed out with 40% of plagiarism of Carlisle's article "MacGregor".[8][9]
  • Raving Fans: A Revolutionary Approach To Customer Service (1993)
  • Leadership and the One Minute Manager: Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership® (1985) (in which he coined the term seagull manager)
  • Gung Ho! Turn On the People in Any Organization (1997)
  • Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships (2002)
  • Leading at a Higher Level: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations (2006).[10]
