Reception and Dinner with the Blanchards Friday, Nov. 19 |
Meet Ken and Marjorie Blanchard and founding associates of The Ken Blanchard Companies
at a festive dinner held in the beautiful Marriot Room, 11th floor, Campus Center.
Keynote address by Ken Blanchard - “Lead with Luv”
Ken will share his experience working with Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus, of Southwest Airlines. You’ll learn how servant leadership is love in action. For those who might think that leading with love is simply “soft management,” Ken will review the record of Southwest Airlines over the last thirty-nine years. In a business so fraught with economic peril that the entire domestic airline industry has compiled a net loss since its inception, Southwest’s people have produced an unprecedented and unparalleled record of job security, shareholder return, and customer satisfaction. |
Leading at a Higher Level Workshop Saturday, Nov. 20
From The One Minute Manager® to Raving Fans, Ken Blanchard’s books have helped millions of people unleash their leadership potential.
The Ken Blanchard Companies has helped thousands of organizations become more people-centered and performance driven.
Ken Blanchard and his colleagues bring together all they’ve learned about world-class leadership in this workshop. You’ll discover how to create targets and visions based on the “triple bottom line” and make sure people know who you are, where you’re going, and the values that will guide your journey.
Our Leading at a Higher Level workshop shows how to use Situational Leadership® II to lead yourself, individuals, teams, and entire organizations. You will be introduced to our latest research on Employee Passion from Dr. Drea Zigarmi. We hope you will be re-inspired by the opportunity we all have to be positive influencers, skilled coaches, and energized role models to the people in our lives that we support and depend upon!
