The Leadership Pill: The Missing Ingredient in Motivating People Today

As is typical of a Ken Blanchard book, this one is short, easy to read, and written in a story format that allows the reader to become immersed in the storyline as well as learn the lessons. There are some great tactical elements - like 1:1 meetings that are scheduled and focused, brown bag lunch and learn sessions, and setting meeting times and days when focus can be maximized. The concepts of employee engagement, investment, and that there's no quick fix for leadership hold true. Yes, the book is short, basic and expensive for its size. However, it is on point, entertaining, and will provide a few useful tips that make it worth the couple hour read and few bucks spent.

Pros:The Secret Blend: Integrity, Partnership, and AffirmationExcellent read, The Leadership Pill does a great job of describing the Secret Blend in an easy to follow story format.Cons:The Leadership Pill is short and the authors spent approximately 20 percent of the book telling a story that need not be so long.The build up to the challenge was described in an excessive and grandiose manner to say the least.Oversimplified the qualities needed to be an effective leaderLittered with little catch phrases (again see page 110)Overall, The Leadership Pill is a commonsensical book with oversize font that left be me wishing I had only borrowed it.

Great information for the 21st century leader. I definitely liked the book flow which made the detailed concepts easy to read. I only gave it 4,stars because I want to read more about the detailed practices and examples touched on in this book. It is definitely a must read.

It was an interesting read. I read for a class on leadership and the points were well drawn out. The story line wasn't very interesting, but good enough that I was able to finish the book. If it was terrible, I would've had a hard time getting even half way through. Good lessons in here.

This is a leadership "story" (fable) told in a very Ken Blanchard style. I didn't find anything new in it. However, if you've never read Ken Blanchard, or if you are new to "leadership", I think it would serve as a very good introduction. If you have been into "leadership" for some time, and you are looking for a quick refresher of salient points, this should work.

I am in the process of taking on a new leadership role this year. This book gave me great insight on how to motivate others and run an effective team. I couldn't put this book down!

This book is great! It provides great options to incorporate into your daily management responsibilities. employees are important to every leaders success. Take time to read and make your life easier both professional and personal. Thank you Mr. Blanchard for another great read!

A very good book, worthwhile read. I discovered and rediscovered some very tips. A very easy to read book, it can be read in one seating.

Brilliant condition can't wait to read itArrived on time and exactly as described

This book is small but it is full of great guidance and there is no fluff. I have read a bunch of Ken Blanchard's books and I have yet to be disapointed. Add this book to your library.

Very weird book. Avoid.
