Learn in his own words why Ken Blanchard wrote Helping People Win at Work.
CEO Gary Ridge speaks on helping his people at WD-40 Company
"Get an A."


The author's thoughts on writing
Helping People Win at Work
"For years I’ve been concerned about how people’s performance is evaluated. People are often forced into a normal distribution curve or even worse, rank ordered. Not only does this not build trust, it also does not hold managers responsible for coaching people and helping them win. "

—Ken Blanchard, PhD. author of
The One Minute Manager and
Leading at a Higher Level

 

"Ever since we began the “Don’t Mark My Paper—Help Me Get an A” performance management system, our company’s annual sales have more than tripled, from $100 million to more than $339 million. And we’ve accomplished this feat while making the company a great place to work."

—Garry Ridge, President and CEO,
WD-40 Company

By Ken Blanchard and Garry Ridge

About the Book

In the first book of Ken Blanchard's Leading at a Higher Level series, Blanchard and WD-40 President/CEO Garry Ridge reveal exactly how WD-40 is "Partnering for Performance" with every single employee—and achieving unprecedented levels of engagement and commitment.

Helping People Win at Work thoroughly illuminates WD-40’s Blanchard-inspired year-round performance review system: its goals, features, and the cultural changes it required. Ridge shares his "leadership point of view": what he expects of people, what they can expect of him, and where his beliefs about leadership and motivation came from. Ken Blanchard explains why WD-40’s Partnering for Performance system works so well—and exactly how to leverage its high-value techniques in any organization.

In Helping People Win at Work business readers will
learn how to:

  • Transform performance review into a powerful competitive advantage
  • Help people reach their full potential, and build a truly great place to work—even in tough times
  • Stop building failure into their performance review systems
  • Provide year-round coaching that moves people through all four stages of mastery
  • Build a culture that actually shares knowledge and encourages non-stop learning, instead of just claiming to do so
