You are probably know Dr. Ken Blanchard, a leadership development icon, and the creator of SLIIⓇ, the world’s most widely used leadership training program. At People Focus Consulting (PFC), we’re proud to be the sole licensed partner in Japan offering Blanchard training programs.
In addition to SLIIⓇ, we provide a range of other Blanchard services, but right now, we’re especially excited to focus on empowerment.
Ken Blanchard's book, Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute, is a well-known favorite worldwide, and Japan is no exception. The Japanese translation has been popular for years, and now, a new manga-style graphic novel version has been released, generating a lot of buzz.



The book release was managed by PFC’s Blanchard Division (Blanchard Japan), and to celebrate, we’re offering a free Empowerment Starter Kit (available in both English and Japanese) to all of our clients.
Click here for the English version of the Empowerment Starter Kit.
The kit includes five tools designed to help organizations jump-start their empowerment journey:
Tool 1: Knowledge Check
Tool 2: A Guide for Building Your Organization
Tool 3: 5 Guidelines for Self-Reflection
Tool 4: Steps to Empower Your Department
Tool 5: The Three Keys Sample Roadmap

The English version came about after a Japanese manager at a global company reached out to us, saying:
“Our company is focused on empowerment, and we’d love to share this starter kit with our international leadership team.”
We hope this kit will help leaders and teams from different countries align on their approach to empowerment and serve as a useful resource for anyone looking to implement multilingual empowerment initiatives or training.
While empowerment is a universal concept, it can be understood differently depending on the culture and language. Our goal is to create a shared understanding of empowerment that works across borders.
