Gung Ho! – How To Motivate People In Any Organization by Ken Blanchard

More of a fable than a leadership textbook, this book is about someone who goes to a company and turns around its performance through 3 principles: the spirit of the squirrel, the way of the beaver, and the gift of the goose.

“The book actually inspired me to write, because Ken Blanchard writes so simply, even an 8-year-old child could read that book and understand it.” – says Gordon Tredgold. “That really made me feel that that was how I needed to write, because we have to make leadership accessible to people, and the way to do that is to make it easy to understand. If you’d just follow these 3 principles, you would be able to achieve a significant amount.”

Gung Ho!, by Ken Blanchard was recommended by Gordon Tredgold (check out our interview with the leader’s leader in our previous issue). It is available at amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
