One-Minute-Manager Guru On Leadership for M.B.A.s

Strong leadership skills are critical for M.B.A.s aiming to become top corporate managers. For insight on learning to lead, we spoke to Ken Blanchard, co-author with Spencer Johnson of "The One Minute Manager," and more than 40 other business titles, most recently, "Leading at a Higher Level." Many of the principles in this book will be taught as part of a new 12-month executive M.B.A. program this January at the Ken Blanchard College of Business at Grand Canyon University, a for-profit school in Phoenix offering mostly online courses.

Mr. Blanchard is also chief spiritual officer of the Blanchard Companies and says his job title reflects his role as a leader responsible for managing his organization’s energy and values. The Escondido, Calif.-based firm, which he co-founded in 1979 with his wife Marjorie Blanchard, specializes in international-management training and consulting.
