The rentals team has spent the past month reading through the book by Ken Blanchard called “self leadership and the one minute manager “. The book is a first person interpretation and story of how to apply the right mindset and skills needed to take personal responsibility and to liberate you from the cultural tendency of finding excuses and empowering you to achieve success. The book runs through the three tricks of self leadership and gives you the tools and techniques to keep growing’ learning and achieving.
The team found the book very rewarding and looked forward to the daily reading of a chapter. The book had a very clever set up where the team was able to read and follow Steve (main character) through his journey from disappointment to becoming a “one minute manager” and achieving success. The book was a fantastic exercise for the team – we were able to discuss and share the positive ideas and techniques to developing success.
The main interpretations I gained from the book are as follows: Is that everybody interprets outcomes differently and how you approach a situation could mean the difference between a successful result and an excuse for failure. As a self leader you must take responsibility for your actions and not use excuses or blame to shift the focus from yourself. Being part of a team you must share all the up’s and down’s as a group, what you learn from disappointments will be vital in achieving your future success. On a personal note I learned that you must treat all people kindly as you never know what will happen – you could meet someone who will have a dramatic and positive change on your life.
