SAN DIEGO, CA—February 1, 2022—The Ken Blanchard Companies®, a global leader in management training, consulting, and coaching, celebrates the publication of Simple Truths of Leadership: 52 Ways to Be a Servant Leader and Build Trust, a curated collection of essential leadership principles authored by Ken Blanchard and trust expert and thought leader Randy Conley.
Simple Truths of Leadership shares 52 easy-to-use, commonsense approaches that help leaders and organizations thrive. An enjoyable read that makes a positive difference in leadership and organizational success, Simple Truths of Leadership shows readers how to make powerful servant leader practices a part of their leadership style, build trust through servant leadership, and enhance their own and their associates’ lives.
Key topics covered include:
- What role a successful apology plays in building trust
- Where the most important part of leadership happens
- How to create autonomy through boundaries
- Why the key to developing people is catching them doing something right
“Simple Truths of Leadership: 52 Ways to Be a Servant Leader and Build Trust is filled with invaluable commonsense wisdom that is unfortunately not common practice. When leaders turn what we share into how they act, trust grows by leaps and bounds. And trust is required for any kind of success,” shared Randy Conley.
The book is divided into two sections: servant leadership and building trust. It explores topics like developing people by catching them doing something right, creating autonomy through effective boundaries that channel the individual’s power and energy, and modeling servant leadership by owning mistakes and accepting responsibility.
“Our rapidly changing world is in desperate need of a new kind of leader—one who’s focused on serving the greater good. When companies are run by trusted servant leaders, serving others becomes the norm. Then people are more engaged, collaboration flourishes, and the organization fires on all cylinders,” said Ken Blanchard about Simple Truths of Leadership: 52 Ways to Be a Servant Leader and Build Trust.
