Ken Blanchard is the coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and fifty other books, including the New York Times business bestsellers Gung Ho! and Raving Fans. His books have combined sales of more than eighteen million copies in more than twenty-seven languages. He is the chief spiritual officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies, a full-service global management training and development company that he and his wife, Dr. Marjorie Blanchard, founded in 1979.
From the playing fields of the National Football League to the corridors of corporate America, smart leaders share the same objectives - putting together a cohesive, hardworking team and tallying up more points than the competition. In business, as in sports, the focus is on creating the winning edge by training and inspiring players to reach their best performance levels. In the face of fierce global competition and decreasing job security, the rules of the game in American business are changing: the pressure to perform has escalated and the need for effective coaching is greater than ever. In Everyone's a Coach: Five Business Secrets for High-Performance Coaching two of America's most remarkable leaders - Don Shula, the winningest coach in pro football, and Ken Blanchard, the internationally known management consultant who has guided hundreds of corporations and organizations toward performance excellence - lay out a game plan for head coaches in all occupations.
In alternating chapters, passing the ball with championship finesse, Shula reveals his secrets of successful coaching and Blanchard pinpoints how they apply to any leadership position. Combining what Shula has been practicing and Blanchard has been teaching for more than three decades into the acronym COACH, they explore five essential strategies:
Conviction-driven: Shula's vision of winning every football game - and his belief that he can do it - underlies every decision and move he makes during practice and games alike. In 1972, his vision became a reality when the Miami Dolphins went the extra mile to emerge unbeaten for the season - and topped it off with a Super Bowl triumph. Ample proof, as Blanchard points out, that believing in your goal and doing the right thing for the right reasons provide the boundaries and direction that people need and want in order to perform well.
Overlearning: Great leaders pay attention to the details - whether they're supervising a hard-driving football team or the software division of a computer company. By insisting on over-preparation throughout the season, Shula arms his players with the skill and confidence they need to make the big play; his expectations for them are never in doubt. In business, leaders who encourage employees to master every assignment thoroughly and monitor their progress every step of the way will discover, as Shula has year after year, that high expectations reap high productivity. -- From the Publisher
