Synopsis

Know Can Do! is a teaching parable in the tradition of Ken Blanchard's bestselling business books. It tells the story of a well known author who is troubled by the gap between what people know: all the good advice they've digested intellectually from books and seminars, and what they actually do. Seeking a way to close this learning-doing gap, the author sets out on a journey to find a solution. He soon meets a legendary businessman named Carl Hesse, who has discovered the secrets of putting knowledge into action. Carl teaches the author the three reasons people don't make the leap from knowing to doing and The key to overcoming these roadblocks. Through Carl Hesse and his colleagues, the author learns life-changing secrets that provide answers to the age-old question: ""Why don't I do what I know I should do?"" Know Can Do! teaches people at all levels how to apply life-changing techniques to reach their fullest potential.

Synopsis:

Attempting to better themselves - learn new skills, break bad habits - people read books, attend seminars, take training courses. But in spite of what they sincerely believe are their best efforts, their behavior doesn't change. It's an endless source of frustration for organizations and individuals. Because people who have mastered learning are free to be creative and make big things happen, Ken Blanchard takes a strong personal interest in this problem. In "Know Can Do" he and his coauthors Paul J. Meyer and Dick Ruhe use the fable format Blanchard made famous to lay out a straightforward method for making sure you actually use what you know.This engaging fable teaches you how to avoid information overload by learning less more, not more less; adjust your brain's filtering system to learn up to 100 times more than before; ignite your creativity and resourcefulness with Green Light Thinking; master what you've learned using spaced repetition; and more. At last, an answer to the question "Why don't I do what I know I should do?" Read this book and you will!
