How to make serious money for both you and your company – from the top selling author of the One Minute Manager.
Management gurus Blanchard and Bowles show how anyone – armed with a set of basic tools – can build personal wealth and financial security. Like the One Minute Manager and Raving Fans this is a business parable. It tells the story of Len, a manager who wants to be rich. Under the guidance of a group of mentors he comes across playing a card game, he begins to chart his own course to riches by learning three valuable secrets – the guideposts to becoming a multi-millionaire:
The Test of Joy: how to discover the source of money making energy and drive
The Test of Purpose: how to focus that power effectively
The Test of Creativity: where to focus to create spectacular financial success
Packed with practical advice, this is a must-read for any individual or business professional seeking to create money.

An invaluable new strategy for creating enthusiastic employees, from the author of the bestselling The One Minute Manager.
Every day thousands of uninspired employees trudge to work – often dooming their companies to failure with their lack of enthusiasm.
Drawing on over 20 years’ experience of working with hundreds of corporations across the US – including America Online, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, Hershey Chocolate and Microsoft – Blanchard reveals a sure-fire strategy for boosting employee enthusiasm, productivity and performance.
Gung Ho! presents a simple system for inspiring employees. Based on three core ideas: work must be seen as important, workers must be put in control of their own production and managers must cheer their workers on – it is a method that all employees and managers can easily implement and which has already been adopted by such major corporations as K-Mart.

The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey
by Kenneth Blanchard, William Oncken, Jr., and Hal Burrows
With a new foreword by Ken Blanchard
How management can effectively rid themselves of 'monkeys' - other people's responsibilities that cling to them and prevent them managing efficiently.
This book explains in simple-minded if abstract terms how to achieve a balance between supervision and delegation for reduced tension and improved productivity in the workplace.
'There is a high correlation between self-reliance and morale,' stress the authors. With humour and logic they describe the delicate business of assigning monkeys to the right masters and keeping them healthy, i.e., fed and cared for: '... if monkeys are managed properly, you don't have to manage people so much.'
