GREAT MANAGERS

BUILD GREAT COMPANIES

HOME //ABOUT US

EVERYONE DESERVES A great MANAGER

A good manager, or a bad one, affects every aspect of your organization—employee engagement, productivity, turnover, and profitability. Having great managers doesn’t usually happen on its own. Managers don’t inherently know how to support, develop, motivate, and engage their people.

At The Ken Blanchard Companies, we believe that everyone deserves to have a great manager. As a leadership training and development company for more than 35 years, we’ve been training millions of the world’s best managers…managers who know how to bring out the best in their people, create great places to work, and deliver real bottom-line results for their organizations.

Why Blanchard?

We have a fundamental desire to make great things happen for our clients. At every level of our organization, we go out of our way to serve and exceed our clients’ expectations.

  • Simple and Powerful Models
