The Heart of A Leader is a powerful reference book by best selling business author Ken Blanchard. This book is easy to read and gives quick, easily accesible tips on leadership that can be used in any aspect of life - not just the corporate world. On the left side of each page is a short leadership tip by either the author or well known celebrity or public figure. The right side of the page has a short explanation or expansion on the leadership tip. For example One tip reads as "None of us is as smart as all of us". To the right of this page is the expansion which talks about the importance of team work in an organisation. Another is "When you stop learning, you stop growing" - The expansion on the right includes these words - People who are upgrading their skills increase their value in their specific organization and job market in general. Another tip is "Choose work you love and you will never work a day in your life" (by Confucus) - (this is my personal goal in life!!)

Another brilliant one is "Positive thinkers get positive results because they are not afraid of problems"

"Ducks quack. Eagles Soar" and "Work smarter not harder !"

Wise words from Eleanor Roosevelt "NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION"

Lastly one of my favorites - "We are not human beings having a human experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" Ken Blanchard says this 'I beleive personally that the quickest and most powerful way for individuals to significantly enhance their self esteem and become a more loving and accepting person, is having a spiritual awakening'.


Wise words and an incredible reference book from a successful bestselling author. Reading this book will certainly enhance the way you look at life - it opens your eyes. A definitely recommendable buy for your reference library
