Kenneth Hartley Blanchard (born May 6, 1939) is an American author, business consultant and motivational speaker who has written more than 70 books, most of which were co-authored. His most successful book, The One Minute Manager, has sold more than 15 million copies and been translated into many languages. He is the co-creator with Dr. Paul Hersey of Situational Leadership, a theory they developed while working on the textbook Management of Organizational Behavior.
Blanchard is the Chief Spiritual Officer of Blanchard, an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife, Marjorie Blanchard, co-founded in 1979 in San Diego, California.
Education
Blanchard attended New Rochelle High School, and graduated in 1957. He completed a BA degree in government and philosophy at Cornell University in 1961, an MA degree in sociology and counseling at Colgate University in 1963 and a PhD degree in education administration and leadership at Cornell University in 1967.
Blanchard is a Cornell University trustee emeritus and visiting professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration. He and his wife were named Cornell Entrepreneurs of the Year in 1991.
Books
Some of Blanchard's more than 70 books are:
The One Minute Manager (co-author Spencer Johnson, 1982) combines Blanchard's management theory with the parable writing style Johnson established in his Value Tales for children in the 1970s. In 2001, a Wall Street Journal article noted that The One Minute Manager bore a resemblance to an article written by Blanchard's former colleague, Arthur Elliott Carlisle. Carlisle's allegations of plagiarism were never proven. In 2015 the book was revised and released as The New One Minute Manager.
