Update: Now free from Barnes & Noble.

Helping People Win at Work: A Business Philosophy Called "Don't Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A", by Ken Blanchard and Garry Ridge, is a repeat freebie in the Kindle store. This one is still full price at B&N, as is another of his titles, Leading at a Higher Level, Revised and Expanded Edition: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations, which is $2.69 from Amazon (although B&N has a free "sample" of this one, the Amazon edition appears to be the full book).
Book Description
Ken Blanchard’s Leading at a Higher Level techniques are inspiring thousands of leaders to build high-performing organizations that make life better for everyone. Now, Blanchard and WD-40 Company leader Garry Ridge reveal how WD-40 has used Blanchard’s techniques of Partnering for Performance with every employee--achieving levels of engagement and commitment that have fortified the bottom line.

Ridge introduces WD-40 Company’s year-round performance review system, explaining its goals, features, and the cultural changes it requires. Next, he shares his leadership point of view: what he expects of people, what they can expect of him, and where his beliefs about leadership and motivation come from. Finally, Ken Blanchard explains why WD-40 Company’s Partnering for Performance system works so well--and how to leverage its high-value techniques in your organization.
