description: In the bestselling tradition of Whale Done , Ken Blanchard offers a new parable about the competition of two leaders with totally different management styles--and reveals the ingredients of truly effective leadership. How can you become a more successful manager, a stronger team leader, and a motivator who gets the best results from a group? Ken Blanchard's inspiring new book provides the answer. In a beguiling, sometimes humorous fashion, The Leadership Pill conjures up a tantalizing possibility: What if there were a pill that could stimulate the natural powers of the mind and body to provide leadership? In the story, an amazing new pill heightens one leader's powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating him in a shortsighted direction. He is coercive, obsessed with immediate results, and drives his team relentlessly until after a brief spike in performance, they suffer early burnout. In contrast, the "Effective Leader, " working without a pill, inspires and supports his team. He supplies the right ingredients, earning the respect and trust of his team with a blend of integrity, partnership, and affirmation. Ultimately it is recognized that leadership is more than a pill, even as the developers try to create a better pill with the slogan, "Leadership for a Lifetime." Destined to be a transforming experience for thousands of readers, The Leadership Pill shows how to apply the right techniques, no matter how pressured a business situation.
