When Ken Blanchard, the co-author of the famous “One Minute Manager” and probably the best known and loved business and leadership guru today, turned 70, he decided to hold a birthday party for all his co-authors. I was blessed to attend since he and I had written “The Simple Truths of Service Inspired By Johnny the Bagger®” in 2005, and we are currently working on another book.
Over 40 of us gathered for 2 1/2 days at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, CA, for discussions, presentations, conversations, and fun. It was truly a celebration of Ken and his work! During each session, he chose one or two of his co-authors to interview about their work and values. This is the interview he did with me on the last day of the “party.” Being asked to attend such an event with some of the people I most admire in the world was a lifetime highlight. I hope you enjoy the interview.
