Title: The Reluctant Mentor Author: Lew Sauder, Jeff Poreter Narrator: Jeff Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-13 Publisher: USANZ Extended Marketing LLC Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In this fictional account of Stewart Bicycle Manufacturing, Sauder and Porter explore the working relationship between a successful baby boomer business owner and his Generation Y employee. A self-made man, Roger Stewart created his mountain biking business without the help of social networking. Phil, a recent college graduate, has grown up with the Internet and all its related technologies his whole life. Roger doesn't understand the point of "fads" such as Facebook and Twitter; Phil doesn't understand why Roger wont to do more to advance his business into the twenty-first century. Roger assumes he can mentor Phil on the finer points of budgets and spreadsheets but is surprised to learn that Phil can mentor him on a few things as well. The traditional approach to mentoring was for the older, more-experienced workers to mentor the younger, greener workers, handing their knowledge down to the next generation. However, the current young generation, Generation Y, is much more unique than their preceding generations and can teach baby boomers how to adjust their business to the newest trends and technology. The term many people use for this concept is reverse mentoring, but Sauder and Porter believe the optimal solution is multi-generational mentoring - each generation sharing knowledge with the other for better leadership development, better inter-generational relationships, higher employee retention rates, and higher organizational-wide knowledge of technology. Members Reviews: The Reluctant Mentor This story is short and to the point illustrating through daily life in a fictitious company the misunderstandings clashes and frustrations of Baby Boomers and Millenials working together...The different issues appear in a natural way as the Boss and Founding owner of the company tries to pull his young tech orientated university grad into line.. the ensuing cross purpose conversations are even amusing ( unless you are suffering them on a daily basis!) The gradual merging of the opposing ways of working is interesting even if it seems obvious. This is in fact the key point of the story and its strength as the reader can sit back and not get embroiled in his own emotions which will cloud his view but rather say "yes of course ! that's the way forward" By making it a story rather than a lecture or an academic thesis the message is perceived in a clearer and more natural way. My only slight misgiving was that most BB's I meet are -to a greater or lesser extent- better than Roger in the virtual world!! For anyone struggling with this issue or just interested I strongly recommend this book. Thank you! An enlightening look at cross-generation communication In creating and analyzing a fictional company, Stewart Bicycle Manufacturing, the reader is taken through an evolution of employer-employee relations with real life work situations between the older and more experienced executive, the mid-level managers and the up and coming younger employee. Told in the setting of a "story", the reader gains very eye-opening insight into the generational differences of the company. What I particularly liked is gaining insight into the reasons for their miscommunications and how they eventually mentored through these. There were some real eye-openers and true "ah-ha" moments of recognition for this Generation X reader.

Title: The Greater Goal Subtitle: Connecting Purpose and Performance Author: Ken Jennings, Heather Hyde Narrator: Kenneth Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-13 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: One of the most powerful forces on Earth is an organization fully aligned, individual by individual, team by team, to achieve mutual success. In this vivid business story, Ken Jennings and Heather Hyde provide a road map to guide leaders through the process of engaging employees at all levels of the organization to find the deeper meaning and higher purposes of their work. Learning these methods is Alex Beckley, a leader who receives a wake-up call that inspires him to live and lead differently. He discovers how to invite his coworkers to join a cause, not just a company - to commit to a Greater Goal - and lead the process of shared goal achievement. Alex learns the Star Model, a process encompassing five practices that can help you discover and deliver on your own purpose and passions, in alignment with many others, to accomplish something good and great. Come along on the adventure! Members Reviews: Five Stars Great companion read to the "Servant Leader". This is a horrible book and not worth the money This is a horrible book and not worth the money. The author has no idea what he is talking about and his ego continuously gets in the way of facts. Not your usual management theory book..... Without sharing the punchline, the book follows the journey of the lead character who realizes that he is at a cross-roads of managing his organization the way he has been running it or the way it could be run. The book provides an interesting view at management best practices through the eyes of a story. It gave a lot of insight at how to handle change management, motivate a work force and creative thinking. In many regards, it reminded me of the Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt. I would definitely recommend this book to others and it is a rather quick read. A Must-read A Must-read The Greater Goal I was promised that the "The Greater Goal" could be digested in a single plane flight. It was and certainly gave me good value in some things to think about. I enjoyed reading Alex's personal journey. It's compelling and not far from home. I thought the lessons of working towards a greater goal and keeping it at the forefront were clear and a reminder of the things we often forget in out professional and personal lives. To paraphrase from my former life in brand marketing, "The Greater Goal" reminds me to seek out the end-end benefit that is more than the physical result by itself. The greatest rewards come from the biggest reach.

Over the course of only a few short weeks, two of Kyle's most high-profile clients have collapsed into trouble. Kyle is forced to step in to play damage control not only to save their careers but, in one case, their very life. With longtime friend and driver Parker McIntosh offering keen insights into the motivations of people in their circle, the two form a perfect pairing to master the strategic chessboard of business and politics. Members Reviews: Easy to listen to, compelling to learn from it Where does The Kingmaker rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Excellent! Really enjoyed the story.

TRUTH i arrived to this book intuitively. its a very good book for anyone in the coaching or education fields. gurus, teachers, professirs,etc. anybody intrrested in the art of making someone else stronger.

Testosterone Inc. Audiobook by Christopher Byron

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Christopher Byron) — Fri, 15 Jul 2005 08:03:11 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/36/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Testosterone Inc. Subtitle: Tales of CEOs Gone Wild Author: Christopher Byron Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 07-15-05 Publisher: Penton Overseas, Inc. Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: When the bull market turned to bust and the applause turned to cat-calls, the world was shocked at the truth. Drenched in money and public acclaim, our CEO-heroes, mostly white, mostly male, mostly middle-aged, turned out to be not much different than a group of twenty-something rock stars: drunk on power and driven by sex, geed, and glamour. Testosterone Inc. goes behind the boardroom doors to show the serial affairs and marriages of these acquisitive corporate titans. At the center of this story is Jack Welch, the biggest of America's rock star CEOs and the former head of General Electric Co., surrounded by "mini-me" CEOs Ron Perelman of Revlon, Al Dunlap of Sunbeam, and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco, all gone wild in public displays of consumption and predatory appetites writ large. Frequently hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, Testosterone Inc. follows the intertwined lives of these four corporate heroes, from childhood to their ultimate moments of glory and the crash-and-burn calamities that followed, as man's age-old hunger for power, greed, and temptation undid them all. From suicide to murder, from dysfunctional childhoods to dysfunctional marriages in adulthood, from business chutzpah to financial suicide, here is the ultimate untold business story of our time: what went on at century's end, when testosterone got the best of businessmen everywhere, and CEOs went wild. Critic Reviews: "Irresistible, wonderfully well written, superbly documented....This book is a fabulous read." (Toronto Globe & Mail) Members Reviews: Hmm Another "I know the real truth" books with very little substance. It is the kind of truth you will find in the gossip media. The writer has very little respect for the 3 businessleaders he is writing about, which is ok, he is entiteled to his own opinion. But as the book progresses the lack of respect turns into insults, which is a shame because it changes the book from being critical to being nasty. To be fair, he also gives the subjects some recognition for their skills and the results they have acomplished. This is not a good book and i cannot recommend to anybody else. Waste of time I was expecting some sort of story on the rise and fall of some business titans - and perhaps the writers thoughts on why they developed such bad habits. I quit listening after 20 minutes. The writer had some idea that because men have huge amounts of testosterone and some connection with their mother's way of upbringing that these guys develop the need to use women. Not much of a business book. So after 20 minutes I got tired of constantly hearing about testosterone levels and turned it off.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Audiobook by Stephen R. Covey

Title: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Subtitle: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change Author: Stephen R. Covey Narrator: Stephen R. Covey Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-04 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16919 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years. This audio edition is the first ever unabridged recording of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Critic Reviews: "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is by now one of the best-selling books of all time." (Fortune) Members Reviews: I don't understand these other reviews Too religious? Irrational? Morality? What book are these people reading? Does the author mention religion? Yes. He clearly states that he believes in God. That takes up approximately 2 sentences in the entire book (though he says a little more in the afterword). He also mentions that all enduring religions AS WELL AS all enduring philosophical systems agree on certain principles of human maturity and interaction, and those are the principles he bases the book on. But is The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg religious, or even spiritual? Because that's by far the primary principle in the book. Now, I guess you could say some parts talk about morality, but not in the sense of "you must love your neighbor" or whatever. And yes, the part about being honest could be seen as morality, but considering the whole point is that honesty is a requirement for having people trust you, it strikes me that many of these negative reviews may be written by people who wanted a quick fix, a set of numerical steps on how to be successful. But that is not what this book is about. The point of this book is that you will never be content in your life if you are looking for contentment OUTSIDE OF your life. It all has to come from within -- that is, your character, who you are. There's nothing moral about that. There's nothing religious about that. But there's also nothing easy about it. This book is work. Lifelong work. And a lot of people simply are not ready for the implications. The first time I read it I didn't realize how far away from the objective I was. But as I've grown and reread the book, I've discovered how deep it goes. Of course, none of this is scientific. None of it is rational. That isn't the point. We aren't solving sudoku or splitting atoms. We are dealing with human emotions, and there's nothing rational about emotions. But there can be a solid approach to controlling our lives, and that's what this book is all about. I just wish they'd hired a professional to read it. A true guide for life This is one of my top ten books of all time for lifelong contemplation. Key themes of Proactivity; Setting and following priorities; Re-scripting according to principles; Win-Win; Listening to understand others; Synergy; and Renewal are fundamental, timeless and universal. Dr. Covey's approach is unequalled in breadth and depth, while being entirely accessible to any human being.

It provides the listener with Jocko and Leif's formula for success: the mind-set and guiding principles that enable SEAL combat units to achieve extraordinary results. It demonstrates how to apply these directly to business and life to likewise achieve victory. The audiobook includes an interview with the authors. Members Reviews: I don't read SEAL Books... As a veteran, I hold a strong resentment for the unabashed self promotion of the SEAL community. This however is one of my favorite books, period. I am glad I set my ego aside and gave it a chance. This book contains all the best points of a capable combat leader, and many points are hidden within main points as well. I recommend this book to all people, regardless of their profession. A Must Read! If you're committed to being a better leader, then this book is a must-read. The authors explain in detail how the hard lessons learned on the battlefield can translate and be applicable in the business world. As someone who is both an Iraq Veteran and small business owner, this book had a mediate applications. I am confident that if you give this book and honest listen and sincerely apply the lessons learned, he will reap benefits from this amazing book. To the authors, thank you for your selfless service to our beloved Republic. v/r, Jeno Berta Wow. This one surprised me! Narrated by the team guys themselves, the authenticity is high from the get-go. The structure of the book is solid, alternating between battle scenes, and the practical take-away, applicable to the modern business owner/leader. The central premise is "taking extreme ownership" as only taking FULL 100% responsibility for your actions and business decisions: can you be an effective leader, correct what's not working, and more. It's a good book that I consumed quickly to me it was the audio equivalent of a page-turner. I couldn't listen to it fast enough, and will relisten to it soon:) Get ready to get better. After reading Jacko's book I've gotten up at 5 o'clock every day to work out which, I haven't done so I was 19.

Members Reviews: What's Your Growth Plan? Are you missing something from your personal development plan? Do you have a plan?

Maxwell provides great insight about his own personal journey and provides chapter-in-review questions to help the listener dig deep within. I really enjoy listening to John C.

Give and Take Audiobook by Adam M. Grant, Ph.D.

Grant, Ph.D. Narrator: Brian Keith Lewis Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 04-09-13 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1755 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: An innovative, groundbreaking book that will captivate listeners of Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, The Power of Habit, and Quiet For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return. Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, this landmark book shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed - without ever looking at a single number. Praised by best-selling authors such as Dan Pink, Tony Hsieh, Dan Ariely, Susan Cain, Dan Gilbert, Gretchen Rubin, Bob Sutton, David Allen, Robert Cialdini, and Seth Godin - as well as senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estée Lauder, Nike, and NASA - Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common. This landmark book opens up an approach to success that has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organizations and communities. Members Reviews: recycled material since I just finished this, my thoughts are very fresh and, I assume, will change over time as I reflect on the material...I have heard so many great things about this book, but it seems that it was essentially a book report around the "giving" theme of other, more original work. This reinforced the benefit I gained by reading all of the referenced books, and connected those books around this theme, but provided little new value. However, maybe the genius of the book isn't that Mr Grant has new ideas, but that he wanted to shine a spotlight on other great works and GIVE them more exposure. My guess is that if I was one of the authors of the several books referenced, I'd be flattered and happy to hear my work so highly spoken of. Give Til it Helps - Your Company My first reaction to Andrew M. Grants Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Management was Youve got to be kidding! Are you really telling me that if we hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and share our shovels in the sandbox, everything will be okay at the office? Thats not what Grant was saying - at all but it took an uncomfortably long time for him to get to that point. Grant advances the position that those who give generously, both professionally and personally, are more likely to be successful than takers (about 15% of people) or matchers ( about 70%). Its a compelling argument, and Grant backs up his position with widely regarded studies and valid statistics.

The Power of the Other Audiobook by Henry Cloud

Title: The Power of the Other Subtitle: The Startling Effect Other People Have on You, from the Boardroom to the Bedroom and Beyond - and What to Do About It Author: Henry Cloud Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-03-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 611 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: An expert on the psychology of leadership and the best-selling author of Integrity, Necessary Endings, and Boundaries for Leaders identifies the critical ingredient for personal and professional well-being. Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary but not sufficient. Using evidence from neuroscience and his work with leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits. Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives. Combining engaging case studies, persuasive findings from cutting-edge brain research, and examples from his consulting practice, Dr. Cloud argues that whether you're a Navy SEAL or a corporate executive, outstanding performance depends on having the right kind of connections to fuel personal growth and minimize toxic associations and their effects. Presenting a dynamic model of the impact these different kinds of connections produce, Dr. Cloud shows listeners how to get more from themselves by drawing on the strength and expertise of others. You don't have a choice whether or not others have power in your life, but you can choose what kinds of relationships you want. Members Reviews: Which Corner Are You In? It's just as important as who is in your corner. And it's critical that you both operate within the correct corner. This is an unbelievably insightful book. Dr. Cloud is masterful in pulling things into focus. Chapter 11 is MUST READ/MUST LISTEN for everyone that matters in your life. That chapter alone is priceless. *There is an audio glitch in chapter 10 around the 32:27 mark. Hopefully they will update the file. very helpful This book took me by surprise--- thankfully so. I have often considered 'needing others' to be a weakness. This work has opened a new option in life for me and stuffed my tool box with great ways to begin. Slow Start; Strong Finish The story was hard to get into at the beginning. as I continue to listen, I became more engaged with the material it's probably worth going back and listening to those first few chapters again. Loved it! I absolutely loved it. This is thw first book I read from this author. It is inspiring and full of hidden truths about success and human performance. Dr Cloud is better than ever I've read lot of his books, and let's be honest, how many different ways can you say a lot of the same things! A lot! This one hit home for me, taking responsibility for self, yet not being a self made (wo)man. It's too easy to take books and apply them to 'how can I be or do better for myself' ...

Title: #GIRLBOSS Author: Sophia Amoruso Narrator: Sara Jes Austell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-06-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5083 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasnt fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job shed taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees. Sophias never been a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and shes written #GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers. #GIRLBOSS includes Sophias story, yet is infinitely bigger than Sophia. Its deeply personal yet universal. Filled with brazen wake-up calls (You are not a special snowflake), cunning and frank observations (Failure is your invention), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gals meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground. It proves that being successful isnt about how popular you were in high school or where you went to college (if you went to college). Rather, success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break. A #GIRLBOSS takes her life seriously without taking herself too seriously. She takes chances and takes responsibility on her own terms. She knows when to throw punches and when to roll with them. When to button up and when to let her freak flag fly. As Sophia writes, I have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Dont ever grow up. Dont become a bore. Dont let The Man get to you. OK? Cool. Then lets do this. Members Reviews: #BossBook! This was by far so much better than I anticipated. I never intended on listening to #GirlBoss because I couldn't get past how cheesy the title was, but Goodreads offered this audiobook for free. So hey, who can say no to free? At only a little over 4 hours long, I expected some boring tale of how some rich girl stayed rich. Well, don't judge a book by it's cover because if that's the kind of book you're looking for...keep looking! I've never heard of NastyGal or Sophia Amoruso, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear she was just like me - a regular girl. She managed through hard work, diligence, and (she does not believe in luck) a persistent drive, to create a million dollar company - all before the age of 30! Amoruso's candid advice of how to become a girlboss was not intimidating, unlike other self-help books that can be overwhelming. I think a big part of that was due to the fact that she is just like the average Jane - trying to make it and get by; but she did much more than that. She became it. I'm definitely encouraged to become a girlboss after reading this. It is more than inspiring - it is encouraging and I feel as if my dreams are within my reach after listening to this book. The narrator also helped in this sentiment - because she sounded like a girl next door. I promise you will finish this book feeling like "If Sophia can do it, I know I can!". Red Bull to Sandberg's Skinny Vanilla Latte This book is the Lean In for the Millenial Generation - fresh, bright, gritty, pragmatic, and fun.

Maxwell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1544 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In Good Leaders Ask Great Questions, John C. Maxwell delves into the process of becoming a successful leader by examining how questions can be used to advantage. What are the questions leaders should ask themselves? What questions should they ask members of their team? He then responds to the toughest problems leaders have presented to him.

Every leader has room to grow, and the advice in these pages will help listeners assess their current position, and structure an effective plan to achieve their goals. Members Reviews: Not what I expected Maxwell of course fills the book with great wisdom, but I was expecting to learn HOW a smart person (a leader) thinks of and asks great questions. Instead he gives answers to many different questions that people may ask, specifically regarding leadership. So while I was hoping to learn the thought process that would lead me to continually ask great questions of others, instead I learned about some common leadership issues and concerns. Very different. It's still a great book, full of insight and leadership advice, but just be mindful of that so that your expectations aren't misconstrued like mine were. The Leadership Book What made the experience of listening to Good Leaders Ask Great Questions the most enjoyable? John Maxwell is just so easy to understand & is really on Topic What other book might you compare Good Leaders Ask Great Questions to and why? none yet have been this informative & useful What about John C.

Blessed to have heard the message, hooked!! Awesome book This is Asher reread. I love the way John Maxwell puts things were easy to understand and I'm really makes more sense than anything. Great book again Great Great book for all leaders. Real informative on questions of leaders. It really made me think about my style of leadership.

The Confidence Code Audiobook by Katty Kay, Claire Shipman

Title: The Confidence Code Subtitle: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance - What Women Should Know Author: Katty Kay, Claire Shipman Narrator: Sandy Rustin Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 04-15-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 953 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the best-selling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it - for women of all ages and at all stages of their career. Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence. Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition - with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business - Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to "lean in". Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: A disappointment Having heard the authors on the radio, I wanted to see what additional wisdom I could glean from listening to the whole book. I could barely make it through (and skipped a lot). The information was repetitive and laboriously presented. Worse, the book focused on the problem and spent little time talking about solutions. I guess I wanted more of a "what can we do about this" book rather than a "here's the problem" book. The other problem was the narrator. Her high-pitched, lispy voice drove me a little nuts and didn't seem to fit the tone of the subject. I could hear her doing, for example, a YA novel, but this didn't seem like a good fit. Stop Ruminating and Give it a Listen Any additional comments? I read the teaser article about this book in The Atlantic and was intrigued enough to read the actual book. I'm not a self-help or trendy non-fiction reader, so this book was quite the departure for me. However, the thesis presented in the article in the The Atlantic really resonated with me. As an adult whose returned to college, I often find myself appalled at the lack of confidence and agency in the young women I take classes with. Often, in many settings from school to work I find myself as the only outspoken woman in a group, and even then, I know how much confidence I lack in comparison to my male colleagues. I interned at a literary journal and while 70 to 80 percent of the classes, workshops and conferences for creative writing I attend are populated by women, strangely those numbers flip when it comes to who is submitting work to magazines and journals. It's strange that while the majority of writing students are female, an overwhelming majority of those who submit stories are male. It's something I've always found puzzling and concerning. But after reading this book it seems to me that a business, like writing, that involves monumental amounts of rejection, is something women in our society have not been trained to accept. One of the main ideas in the book is that women are not given the same opportunities as men to fail and fail often enough to become well-practiced in failure, and thus when encountering failure in the real world for the first time as adults, we shrink back and learn we can't fail if we don't try.

Title: The Hollywood Commandments Subtitle: A Spiritual Guide to Secular Success Author: DeVon Franklin, Tim Vandehey Narrator: DeVon Franklin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 276 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Secular and spiritual success are not opposites. To have one, you need the other. You can be wildly successful without losing your faith. In fact, your secular success will strengthen your faith if you allow it. Too often we believe that success in secular environments contradicts the core principles of faith, but the opposite is true: Your faith was designed to thrive in the secular world and to transform it as a result. You may never experience the true fulfillment you were created for until you pursue the secular ambitions in your heart. New York Times best-selling author DeVon Franklin knows this to be true. In The Hollywood Commandments, the prominent Hollywood producer and spiritual success coach reveals 10 life-changing lessons picked up from his over-20-year career in the entertainment business. You won't learn these lessons in the church, yet they will help you achieve an amazing life and thriving career that glorifies God. The Hollywood Commandments will help you: No, you don't have to work in Hollywood for this audiobook to work for you; these "commandments" apply to every walk of life! If you are stuck, looking for the secrets to advance your career, or have a feeling there's more to life, this audiobook is for you. Members Reviews: A good listen!!! So glad DeVon read his own book! Authors at this level should always read their own book because its a gift to get the information directly from the source! I completed this audiobook in less than 24 hours because when I started I didnt want to stop! I hope DeVon publishes more books related to success in life and work. I like the real examples like his wife and Foxy Brown. It was exactly what I needed I was losing hope for my dream. Discouraged and hopeless, I asked God why I was feeling the way I did about my career. I was feeling extremely lost and on the verge of giving up. & the next day I encountered this book. It was exactly what I needed. Devon did an amazing job at explaining and encouraging the guidelines of what it takes to pursue your dream with God. The way I was feeling was exactly what he felt in the past. It was encouraging to know I wasn't the only one going through this struggle. A must read for the person searching for purpose. This is a great book! Devon shared many principles that any entrepreneur or aspiring artist will need on their journey to success. WOW! This is a MUST READ to UNLEASH YOUR DESTINY! Typically I'm very skeptical about audio books because I love having the physical copy, but this is a MUST! First of all, DeVon Franklin is an incredible storyteller, mentor, and spiritual leader!!! This book was so incredible I finished it within 2 days! Honestly, if you're somebody that doesn't want to compromise your spirituality for your success then this is an authentic step by step guide for you. Not only does DeVon walk you through the steps you need in order to achieve success, but he really helps you to unfold and unleash your destiny and God-given purpose. I've already gifted two friends who are absolutely loving this audible version. Definitely, do yourself a favor, invest in yourself and get this audible book today! Truth. Wisdom. Real talk. The heart of this book sounds like conversations between my friends and I. This is definitely "fuel for the journey".

Primal Leadership Audiobook by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, Annie McKee

Title: Primal Leadership Subtitle: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence Author: Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, Annie McKee Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-02 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 639 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Now, Goleman teams with renowned EI researchers Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the role of emotional intelligence in leadership. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and "primal leadership," the authors argue that a leader's emotions are contagious. If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm, an organization thrives; if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders. Drawing from decades of analysis, the authors show that resonant leaders excel not just through skill and smarts but also by connecting with others, using EI competencies such as empathy and self-awareness. And they employ up to six leadership styles - from visionary to coach to pacesetter - fluidly interchanging them as the situation demands. The program no leader in any walk of life can afford to miss, this unforgettable work transforms the art of leadership into the science of results. Members Reviews: This opened my eyes I started listening to this book one weekend, while I was hanging suspended ceiling in my basement. There were several times, that afternoon, that I found myself just standing there listening instead of working on my project. The author helped me realize that my management style had evolved over the years and I had become the manager that I would not want to work for. His analogy of the frog boiling in water was me. I have since made a conscious effort to become the manager that I was when I began my career. I revisit this book occasionally, to remind myself. A must read I will start with a caveat: This is long - and at times the focus on the actual functioning of the brain is a bit to indepth - so buckle down because it is a must read. It provides a data based approach to management and leadership, and should be a key reading of all new managers, executives and leaders. Too often, the market is filled with 'how I did it' books, which neglect to note that how the author did it is not universally applicable. By understanding all of the different style, you will learn to pick the styles that are appropriate for your situation and personality Buy this one... This offers several very intersting points of view. It confirms the belief that it takes more than IQ to really excel and clearly points out the strengths and gaps in several different styles of leadership. It challenges you to think about and evaluate your style of leadership to see where you might improve. I highly recommend this book!! Good book, Hard to listen to. This is a good book. Very valuable and important information. But it's tough to listen to. I think it would make a better read. A little too lenghty If you have read about emotional intelligence before, this book doesn't give you lots of new insights. But it's an excellent introduction on today's leadership skill requirements.

Title: Immunity to Change Subtitle: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization Author: Lisa Laskow Lahey, Robert Kegan Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-06-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations? In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey show how our individual beliefs - along with the collective mindsets in our organizations - combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work. Members Reviews: Should be Required Reading for humanity Very few self-help books workshop the reader through what's required for actual transformation. This does! Great Book! Worth listening multiple times. But "Senge" is mispronounced. A minor but vexing problem. Hope it gets fixed. Transformational it was quite hard going and feel need to listen again as alot to take on board.

Title: On Fire Subtitle: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life Author: John O'Leary Narrator: John O'Leary Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1000 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In the best-selling tradition of Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and Nick Vujicic's Life Without Limits comes a rousing seven-step plan for living a life on fire, filled with hope and possibility - from an inspirational speaker who survived a near-fatal fire at the age of nine and now runs a successful business inspiring people all around the world. When John O'Leary was nine years old, he was almost killed in a devastating house fire. With burns on 100 percent of his body, O'Leary mustered an almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to survive the ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and the heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the journey - his family, the medical staff, and total strangers - changed his life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same. An incredible and emotionally honest account of triumph over tragedy, On Fire contains O'Leary's reflections on being that little boy, the life-giving choices made then, and the resulting lessons he learned. O'Leary very clearly shares that without the right people providing the right guidance at the right time, he never would have made it through those five months in the hospital, let alone the years that followed as he struggled to regain mobility, embrace his story, and ignite clarity of his life's purpose. On Fire encourages us to seize the power to choose our paths and transform our lives from mundane to extraordinary. Once we stop thinking solely on the big moments in our lives, we can begin to focus on those smaller opportunities that tend to pass us by. These are the events - the inflection points in our lives - that can determine how we feel about life now, where we are headed in the future, and how many lives we can impact along the way. We can't always choose the paths we walk, but we can choose how we walk them. Empowering, inspiring, remarkably honest, and heartfelt, O'Leary's strength and incredible spirit shine through in every minute. Members Reviews: Great Lessons I had heard John's story before. But the lessons he brings in this book that he had to learn much harder than most of us ever will are inspiring. It proves that excuses are just that, and if you want to be successful only you can make that choice. Sincere and Motivational Although I appreciate this heartfelt true story, the author is not a good narrator which is annoying and distracting. In the written version does he actually write "freaking" (which is slang for the F-word) so much. I would rather he used the full strength word! Burning with hope and faith If one can listen or read this story of tragedy and triumph and not be inspired to live life at it's fullest intention, then there probably is no hope because I could not from the first words just sit idiot and not want to live more fully. I am going to listen to it again and again because it takes stories like this to keep the fire burning and reminding me it's not over yet. There is plenty of opportunity to live and be my greatest self. Couldn't put it down! Loved this book! Listened every moment I could! Definitely a book I'll listen to again. Amazing! Absolutely amazing!! Worth every minute of listening to it. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

Title: The Emotionally Healthy Leader Subtitle: How Transforming Your Inner Life Will Deeply Transform Your Church, Team, and the World Author: Peter Scazzero Narrator: Peter Scazzero Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-15 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 183 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Do you feel too overwhelmed to enjoy life, unable to sort out the demands on your time? Are you doing your best work as a leader yet not making an impact? Have you ever felt stuck, powerless to change your environment? In The Emotionally Healthy Leader, best-selling author Peter Scazzero shows leaders how to develop a deep inner life with Christ, examining its profound implications for surviving stress, planning and decision making, building teams, creating healthy culture, influencing others, and much more. Going beyond simply offering a quick fix or new technique, The Emotionally Healthy Leader gets to the core, beneath-the-surface issues of uniquely Christian leadership. This book is more than a book you will hear; it is a resource you will come back to over and over again. Members Reviews: A must read for every pastor This book is rich with wisdom and practical advice. It is up close and personal in the real life of pastoral ministry so it is extremely relevant. But be warned. This book will challenge you personally and calls for change in the culture, practice and expectations in typical evangelical church leadership. If you are serious about cultivating a personal transforming relationship with Christ that fuels your life and leadership. This book is for you. Deep and helpful A must read if you are serious about the leader that you are and want to be. Helpful content, needs slower narration I liked the content and it gave me things to think about within myself. My issue with the narration may just be with the editing. It often seemed like there was no pause in between chapters, headings, stanzas. At times it was hard to relate with the stories they told because I am in a different situation than they are. Rich in content This book is rich in content and a very good leadership tool for leaders. Great Even @ 67 I recently turned 67 and have exploring EQ for the last 2 years. I read EH Church when it came out, but it got lost in the busyness of ministry. Enter EHS and now EHL. So helpful in processing both past issues and current setting. The last section on succession/transition was extremely helpful. Those heading for the exit sign and those who will take our place would do well to read and integrate this wisdom into their own process.

Title: The Go-Giver Leader Subtitle: A Little Story About What Matters Most in Business Author: John David Mann, Bob Burg Narrator: Ana Gabriel Mann, John David Mann, Bob Burg Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-16 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 246 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: PLEASE NOTE: This audiobook was previously published under the title It's Not About You. From the acclaimed, best-selling authors of The Go-Giver, a new parable about the power of giving leadership. The family-owned business of Allen & Augustine has manufactured high-quality chairs for decades. Its people take pride in their work and feel loyal to their owners and management team. But this long-revered company is now at a crossroads, hurt by a tough economy, foreign competition, and a cash crunch. The air is filled with the scent of uncertainty, anxiety, perhaps even panic. Enter Ben, the ambitious young executive assigned by his firm to promote a merger that will rescue Allen & Augustine. Ben's facts are undeniable: The chairmaker can either merge and modernize or go bankrupt and vanish. So why can't he convince anyone to buy in, from the CEO on down? During his week at the company, as Ben gets to know its people and meets with its top executives, he begins to realize that his aggressive style is actually making it harder to reach his goals. As one character puts it, "How far can you push a rope?" Will Ben find a way to sway the employee shareholders before the climactic vote? And can Allen & Augustine survive without losing its soul? The answers may surprise you as you follow Ben on his journey to understanding that the path to genuine influence lies less in taking leadership than in giving it. Members Reviews: Tremendous insight written in a story form I really enjoyed the Go-Giver and The Go-Giver Leader didn't disappoint. It adds on to the first book but reading/listening to the first book isn't required to glean from this book. Since the book is written in a story form, it is an easy listen with take away points throughout the book and at the end. The narration is very good filled with a few memorable characters and my overall favorite is the 'aunt'. Not only does the book illustrate the essence of a leader but it outlines the characteristics in a manner that stays with the reader/listener without feeling 'scolded'. I highly recommend this book. Stories of leadership and parables of leadership principles Easy read Great to listen to and one that you will read multiple times and still get something new each time. Timeless leadership principles conveyed via parables! this is a must read and re read powerful book that is so simple and it's amazing powerful A must read for any aspiring or growing leader what really matters a book that every leader should read and reread in a few years. there was no mention of the word pride but it certainly was apparent in this book. Well put and digs deeper than many books on leadership Easy read, intriguing story holding attention throughout the book, realistic deep meaning concepts that makes you think and search deep within you...overall, very well put together. Highly recommend

The Icarus Deception Audiobook by Seth Godin

Author: Seth Godin Narrator: Seth Godin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1127 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: What are you afraid of? The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Don't fly too close to the sun. The new truth: It's better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever. In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an economy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an attitude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it. Steve Jobs was an artist. So were Henry Ford and Martin Luther King, Jr. To work like an artist means investing in the things that scale: creativity, emotional labor, and grit. The path of the artist isn't for the faint of heart - but Godin shows why it's your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference. The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do? Members Reviews: Needed Perspective for the New Connected Economy What did you love best about The Icarus Deception? This book slaps you in the face with a new reality. The 9 - 5 job is dead and we are all in a new frontier with the connected economy. We've been brainwashed by corporate America about what success should be and if we follow the rules, we will be adequately rewarded. I tried this for 14 years at my corporate America job and now that I'm embarking on my own and starting my own creative agency. This book has inspired to make more art and focus on relationships that are key to have in the connected economy. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Icarus Deception? Seth told me I was a fraud and how could I possibly think I would be successful starting my own business. It was precisely how I was feeling starting my own business! It was encouraging to hear that it's normal and it needs to be embraced for you to move forward instead of living in it's shadow. What about Seth Godins performance did you like? His passion about his message. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was not. This is a book to listen to on the treadmill and then digest what you heard over a couple of days Change the way you see work Any additional comments? Seth Godin brings a new perspective to work, challenging each of us to see ourselves as artists instead of workers. At first, I was skeptical and thought that this may only apply to entrepreneurs and not to those of us who are employed by others, but the book came so highly recommended by several people that I gave it a chance - and I'm very glad I did. As I finished the book, I immediately changed the way I look on work. When someone criticizes something I've produced, I don't get frustrated. I've given my work as a gift, and if I've given it, then I have no control over what the recipient does with it. Many an artist has been criticized and misunderstood because they are "ahead of their time". As a worker, criticism reflects on me.

Title: The Art of Coaching Teams Subtitle: Building Resilient Communities That Transform Schools Author: Elena Aguilar Narrator: Courtney Patterson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The missing how-to manual for being an effective team leader. The Art of Coaching Teams is the manual you never received when you signed on to lead a team. Being a great teacher is one thing, but leading a team, or team development, is an entirely different dynamic. Your successes are public, but so are your failures - and there's no specific rubric or curriculum to give you direction. Team development is an art form, and this book is your how-to guide to doing it effectively. You'll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on track, and you'll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify the "getting organized" process. Just as importantly, you'll explore what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people together to accomplish difficult tasks. You'll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear instructions for the logistics of team development as well as for building trust, developing healthy communication, and managing conflict. Inside these minutes you'll find concrete guidance on: There is no universal formula for building a great team, because every team is different. Different skills, abilities, personalities, and goals make a one-size-fits-all approach ineffective at best. Instead, The Art of Coaching Teams provides a practical framework to help you develop your group as a whole, and keep the team moving toward their common goals. Members Reviews: Very Practical There are a lot of very useful tools and anecdotes in this guidebook. Some are obvious, some ingenious, but all worth having in one place. I'll definitely have this on my "re-read regularly" list. All Education Leaders Must Read This This is hands down one of my favorite books. While reading it, I was able to successfully implement many strategies within this book in working with the teams of my school and district. Once you purchase the book you will also have access to the forms on the website which are very helpful and of great quality. I am a big fan of Elena Aguilar's work and can't wait to see where she goes next as an author. -Instructional Coach

Merrill Narrator: Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, Rebecca R. Merrill Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-04 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 625 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Rather than focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. It tells us why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us; how focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it; how to determine if what you're doing is really important, or only urgent; how to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit; how to put people ahead of schedules; and how to lead your life, not just manage your time. Offering a principle-centered approach and the wisdom and insight that made The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a #1 best seller, First Things First empowers listeners to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives. Critic Reviews: "I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be helped by reading it." (Larry King) Members Reviews: its just a Overview.. Disappointed What would have made First Things First better? I purchased hoping that i would cover the entire book. Well it just overview in 1 hr timeframe. I hope you will release entire book. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment because it didn't cover the entire book for this money. NOT THE WHOLE BOOK, What disappointed you about First Things First? This recording is only a little over an hour long. The book is nearly 300 pages. Do the math. Most of it's missing. What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Included the entire book as this is not the abridged version How did the narrator detract from the book? He didn't read the whole thing. Any additional comments? Skip it. Buy the book. Warning: Only one hour long. Any additional comments? This is an abridged version of the book. I bought it under the assumption that it would be a full audio book and was disappointed to find it was only 1 hour long. Nothing New over the other books I can't say that there is anything new here. This book does not seem to answer the question of how to put First things First as the title suggests. In my humble opinion this is just a filler book. One written to keep the public interested in Franklin Covey until they could come up with something else. if your are trying to develop your Mission statement and roles and goal and to follow thru on them a better book to get is What Matters Most. This book is excellent This is an excellent book. It helps one to develop a schedule based on correct principles instead of on a clock system. That way your time is spent doing what is important rather than have your life dominated by the urgent. (urgent doesn't necessarily mean important), listen to the book. I have ADHD and this recording and the print book have been very valuable to me. I would recommend using it along with the print version of the book along with the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Subtitle: A parable for finding the heart of leadership Author: Todd G. Gongwer Narrator: Brandon Batchelar Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 11-17-11 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 488 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: A captivating story that will help you find your purpose and leadership in life. Although hes one of the most successful high school basketball coaches in Kentuckys history, Steve Rocker, for the first time in his life, is falling short of expectations. His players have lost their will to win, their love for their teammates, and their passion to play. Coach Rockers motivational methods that have always worked before - and have resulted in his success - are now failing, and he doesnt know why. Struggling to understand whats happening, Coach seeks the counsel of one of his most successful friends, CEO Grant Steffin, who, while fighting his own battles, offers advice based on his own leadership experiences. Coach Rocker also stumbles upon some unexpected insight from - of all people - Joe Taylor, the high school janitor. As Coachs season spirals downward, and as he continues to interact with these two intriguing men, the why questions become louder and louder in his head. Why does he do what he does? Or for that matter, why does he even exist? These questions eventually push him to go deeper into his own heart than he ever imagined possible to determine his purpose not only in leadership but also in life. Members Reviews: Great Story. Less than powerful reading. I enjoyed this book a lot. It should be purchased and listened to. I have recommended it to a number of people already. That being said, I was completely underwhelmed with the narration. Honestly, I would not be excited to hear anything else read by Mr. Batchelar. Competitiveness to extreme. What is your purpose? What did you love best about LEAD . . . For God's Sake!? Excessive passion and competitiveness whether in sports or in business has extreme negative consequences. This fictional audiobook, paints the picture vividly while also causing one to evaluate their purpose and what is really important in life. What was one of the most memorable moments of LEAD . . . For God's Sake!? While winning is important, contrary to what some would want you to believe, it isn't everything. Faith, family, and relationships need to be part of true success and a fulfilled life. What does Brandon Batchelar bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice at times carries strength that can verge on arrogance at just the right times that one would imagine would reflect that of a winning coach. At other appropriate times it reflects empathy and compassion. Well done for this listeners ears. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? At 64 years old, I feel that I have personally experienced and observed all aspects of the characters in the book. The book brilliantly has condensed a lifetime of learning into a short and very interesting read. I wish I could have learned those lessons a long time ago. That said, it's never to late to do the right thing(s). Good book Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This was a very good leadership book. Not the normal style of dishing out information rather more of a life application. Highly recommended. Great Recommend for all, especially coaches.

Title: Leadership and Training for the Fight Subtitle: A Few Thoughts on Leadership and Training from a Former Special Operations Soldier Author: Paul R. Howe Narrator: Pete Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 140 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Tested and effective leadership and teaching advice based on riveting combat stories from a Special Operations veteran. In Leadership and Training for the Fight, MSG Paul R. Howe, U.S. Army Retired, shares ideas on leadership that he has developed through extensive combat experience. Howe tells riveting stories of military operations and analyzes leadership concepts. He also gives advice on how to understand students and how to refine your teaching methods. Written with the unique insight of a Special Operations soldier, this book is the perfect guide for anyone interested in improving leadership skills in civilian or military situations. Editorial Reviews: Based on the thrilling real-life experience of a combat-hardened soldier and commander, Leadership and Training for the Fight is a detailed and informative collection of advice, useful for anyone interested in better understanding the type of leadership required for combat and noncombat scenarios alike. Pete Larkin performs Howe's words with aplomb. Though this book is filled with valuable lessons, it is also packed with exciting firsthand accounts of combat. Larkin's distinguished voice acting relates the full gravity and danger of each of these moments. Members Reviews: Tactical Training - must read This book will not be for everyone. If you are in law-enforcement, and particularly if you are on a tactical team, this is an absolute must read. For others who are simply interested in leadership training, this book may be a bit laborious to work through. As a member of a SWAT team and holding a leadership position with my law-enforcement agency I was very happy with this purchase. This book may also be of interest to those civilians with a passion for firearms and tactical training. Congratulations on your assignment, SWAT Team Ldr This is not a book. This is a manual that may assist SWAT Team Leaders, military operators with tactical training responsibilities, law enforcent firearms instructors, and Police Department leadership teams in developing and evaluating training programs and lesson plans. Despite the marketing that led me to try the book, there are very few - to possibly zero, depending on your job - parallel applicable lessons or nuggets that anyone in the professional world will find useful or interesting. I was hoping for general leadership principles and insights that would apply to my current management assignment of a non-tactical military unit and I was disappointed. In fact, as a police officer, military reserve member, and SWAT Team member myself, I found the material contained herein barely applicable to my own duties. I am not a tactical trainer or instructor and, at most, I gained some insight into how our instructor teams prepare lesson plans and why they conduct our range training in the way that they do. I almost returned this book a half dozen times. I now wish that I had. I kept waiting for it to pivot, but it never happened and the author kept repeating the same points until I just about shelved it and gave up. I felt too guilty to return a book I came withing an hour or so of finishing. This is a copy and paste of a tactical trainer's continuity binder with footnotes and commentary, more or less.

Title: Leading Subtitle: Learning from Life and My Years at Manchester United Author: Alex Ferguson, Michael Moritz Narrator: James Macpherson, Simon Slater Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 186 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: After an astonishing career - first in Scotland and then over 27 years with Manchester United Football Club - Sir Alex Ferguson delivers Leading, in which the greatest soccer coach of all time will analyze the pivotal leadership decisions of his 38 years as a manager and, with his friend and collaborator Sir Michael Moritz, draw out lessons anyone can use in business and life to generate long-term transformational success. From hiring practices to firing decisions, from dealing with transition to teamwork, from mastering the boardroom to responding to failure and adversity, Leading is as inspiring as it is practical and a go-to reference for any leader in business, sports, and life. Members Reviews: Get in his head Where does Leading rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Best book about What? How? & Why? did he do the things that he did. What did you like best about this story? He explains the What? How? & Why? What does James Macpherson and Simon Slater bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Seems like Sir Alex is reading it. What did you learn from Leading that you would use in your daily life? Have a clear objective and tough decisions will be tough but they will be clear. Any additional comments? A must read Take a glimpse of the greatest sporting team on earth through the boss himself This autobiography hits the ground running. The Scottsman reading through the chapters adds the finesse to an outstandingly well written book. When you get to look at how United have functioned under Sir Alex Ferguson for over two decades you really begin to ask yourself if you've even remotely pushed yourself to your abilities. The success Sir Alex has received is clearly not by luck. Every move, every instruction, every thought is blended with emotion, desire, courage and patience. I finished the ten hour long audio book in a day. It's been fantastic. What a man... what a manager! Glory Glory Man United! Very interesting if you are interested in The Gaffer I hoped that this book would be about leadership and not as much about Fergie's story as a manager. I listened to his autobiography and honestly, despite enjoying this book, didn't see much difference between this book and it. If you have read or listened to the autobiography, you won't miss much in skipping this one. It is a good listen but you won't get much out of it if you've already gotten his autobiography. He does make some comparisons to business leadership and football management but they are more like "by the way" types of comparisons. I am not disappointed by this book though. I am a huge admirer of Sir Alex Ferguson and am always interested in learning about him and Manchester United. I just wish there had been more to learn. The narration is great except for the epilogue. I gave up listening to it after about 30 minutes, especially since it seemed to only be summarizing what was mentioned in the book. That narrator had a very dry way of speaking. All in all, not disappointed but not raving about it either. Fantastic A great listen for coaches rather a fan of MU or not. A great book that taught me a lot! Solid lessons from a football legend Easy read without much jargon. Got a lot more interested in football after reading this.

The path to leadership begins with a question only few of us ask: How do I lead myself? John Maxwell presents 26 insights, not just for those who aspire to positions of leadership but also for veteran leaders who aim to build and improve upon the steps that led them to the front of the line. Sound leadership will impact any endeavor, but sound leaders are prepared for risk - and importantly, failure - just as they point the way toward achievement. With application exercises and a "Mentoring Moment" to accompany each chapter, The Leadership Handbook presents a road map for a path many may cross but few choose to follow. "A leader," counsels Maxwell, "never has to recover from a good start." Members Reviews: Solid Leadership Advice What did you love best about The Leadership Handbook?

A life Changer! This book is awesome. I listened to it 3 times straight and I am still pulling nuggets out of it and putting them into practice to take my leadership to the next level!

Title: Conscious Business Author: Fred Kofman Narrator: Fred Kofman Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-02 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 262 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In Conscious Business, you'll join this visionary teacher and founder of Leading Learning Communities to master these skills. Critic Reviews: "Useful tools for the corporate world and for individual growth....His manner is pleasant, acknowledges the individual, never condescends, and offers some genuinely helpful reminders about human nature." (ForeWord Magazine) Members Reviews: Personal Skills & Business Contribution Conscious Business is more a series of seminars which are spoken by the author Fred Kaufman in a warm soothing tone. I work in IT for HP as a full time consultant to Cisco Systems. It may simply be the time in my life, or the business environment in which I find myself, but I found Fred's perspective remarkably moving and enlightening. Fred does a excellent job of identifying the personal skills required to work effectly in a business setting and goes on to provide a wealth of suggestions on how to develop those skills. Throughout the book he does a good job of keeping the lines of personal development and business contribution parallel, however, if I were to offer one reservation, I think he could have drove that relationship home more as he concluded the series. This is certainly the best business management book I have encountered, and I have read quite a few lately. Highly Recommended This is the best book I've heard yet from audible.com. Fred Kofman is an entertaining and educational speaker who doesn't seem to be reading. He uses memorable, often funny examples to illustrate his ideas. I have heard or read variations on some of his concepts in other books, but every idea is good and true. Fred Kofman is incredibly smart and also has a lot of common sense and humility. real-life business without the hype! fred shows how to be succesful in business without "selling out" your values and dignity as a human being. also a "must-read" for fans of integral theory and ken wilber. EXCELLENT It's an excellent book for anyone who wants to improve the way they do business, the way they communicate with each other, the way they handle relationships, and many other aspects of our daily life. It's all practical and you can start using it right away. I really liked it. And I do recommend it to everyone. My favourite Book on Audible This is the only audible book I really cherish and I have listen to twice, if not more. Fred gives so many examples that just identify perfectly with corporate life = but on the other hand, the narration is almost like a lecture, not a book. You will change the way you work with people after reading this book.

Title: The Promise of a Pencil Subtitle: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change Author: Adam Braun Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 389 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Adam Braun began working summers at hedge funds when he was just 16 years old, sprinting down the path to a successful Wall Street career. But while traveling as a college student, he met a young boy begging on the streets of India. When Braun asked the boy what he wanted most in the world, he simply answered, "A pencil." This small request became the inspiration for Pencils of Promise, the organization Braun would leave a prestigious job at Bain & Company to start with just $25 at the age of 24. Using his unique "for-purpose" approach, he helped redefine the space in which business, philanthropy, and social media intersect. And a mere five years later, Pencils of Promise has now built more than 200 schools around the world, proving that anyone can create a movement that matters. The Promise of a Pencil chronicles Brauns journey through more than 50 countries to find his calling, as each chapter explains the steps that every person can take to ignite their own passion and potential. His trailblazing story takes listeners behind the scenes with business moguls and village chiefs, world-famous celebrities and hometown heroes. Driven by compelling stories and shareable insights, this is a vivid and inspiring book that will give listeners the tools to unlock their own extraordinary journey of self-discovery. If you have ever wanted a more purpose-driven life, if you have ever felt like you could become more than your current circumstances allow, its time to ask yourself, "What do I want most in the world?" And through the lessons shared in this book, turn those ideas into reality. Members Reviews: Ignore negative reviews This book was such a great listen. I would easily say it's one of my favorite biography to have read Promise of hope. Engaging, insightful and hopeful. I wish all people had the drive passion and determination to create this kind of change in our world. Ready to change the world! This inspiring story raises the bar in the readers to reach for their dreams and anyone can make a difference. Life changing Would you listen to The Promise of a Pencil again? Why? I've already listen to the book twice, there's always some wisdom or just some complement of information I like to get on the second read. This book has resulted in a life change for me because it made me realize further more that you make your dream job, it does not come to you. Also it's another example that you don't have to be only one thing, you can be more than a teacher, an economist, a lawyer... Which scene was your favorite? My favorite scene is definitely when the author sits down with his grand mother to tell her about the first school. Great premise, okay execution We often hear about the plight of people in developing regions of the world, but seldom do people actually do something about it. Braun, to his credit, did something and launched Pencils of Promise, a charity dedicated to building schools in impoverished regions of the world. He takes readers from New York to Laos to Central America to Ghana and back again as he grows his charity. A hybrid of memoir, travel and business writing, the book tries to cater to multiple audiences. I had a couple of issues with the book.

Others are more difficult. And then there are situations that seem hopeless. Conflict is escalating, people are getting aggressive, and no one is willing to back down. And to top it off, you have little power, money, or other resources to work with. Harvard professor (and negotiation advisor to organizations around the world) Deepak Malhotra shows how to defuse even the most potentially explosive situations and to find success when things seem impossible. Malhotra illustrates key lessons using behind-the-scenes stories of fascinating real-life negotiations, including drafting the US Constitution, resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis, ending bitter disputes in the NFL and NHL, and beating the odds in complex business situations. He also shows how these same principles and tactics can be applied in everyday life, whether you are making corporate deals, negotiating job offers, resolving business disputes, tackling obstacles in personal relationships, or even negotiating with children. Members Reviews: Pretty slow, but structurally informative I don't think I could ever read this book, so I am glad I was able to listen to it on my daily commute. Kind of dry, but I think it holds a lot of structural solutions to negotiating. Life is a negotiation There were some great examples of considerations given to the opposing side well worth contemplation. We too often fail to put ourselves in the other sides shoes and this fail to consider that the reasons for their positioning may be completely different from what we think. advance layer into negotiation. Very graphic cases organize strait forward into context and realistic perspectives. Ir deserves a second and third play. Best chef Traing for negotiations, Deepak Ji, You have given great solutions in form great recipes to cook interesting deals, must read for all. Another excellent book by this author. My favorite thing is that this is new complementary information to Negotiation Genius. Well Done Again

Title: Mojo Subtitle: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It Author: Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter Narrator: Marshall Goldsmith Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-10 Publisher: Hyperion Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 166 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Mojo is the moment when we do something thats purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. This book is about that momentand how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it. In his follow-up to the New York Times best seller What Got You Here Wont Get You There, number-one executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the ways in which to getand keepour Mojos. Our professional and personal Mojo is impacted by four key factors: identity (who do you think you are?), achievement (what have you done lately?), reputation (who do other people think you areand what have youve done lately?), and acceptance (what can you changeand when do you need to just let it go?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them coming. Mojo is that positive spirittowards what we are doingnowthat starts from the insideand radiates to the outside. Mojo is at its peak when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. The Mojo Toolkit provides 14 practical tools to help you achieve both happiness and meaningnot only in business, but in life. Members Reviews: Some Good, Some Bad, Some In Between Mojo is defined by the author as that positive spirit toward what we are doing now that starts from the inside and radiates to the outside. Another word for it would be flow when we are at our peak performance. The book discusses both forms of Mojo personal and professional and the four ingredients that give us our Mojo: identity, achievement, reputation, and acceptance. It also offers a variety of ways to measure your Mojo and gives a link to a free Mojo scorecard on the books website. As a systems thinker, I love the idea that you track behavior over time and look for patterns, but to be honest, the process sounds tedious to me, and I am unconvinced of the return on investment. I also like the emphasis in the book on being present, but overall, the approach strikes me as being just a tad too simplistic. Repeat of his last book He regurgitated much of his last book. Also, his series of assessments, checklists and spreadsheets are more unrealistic than any self help book I've ever read. It came across as an advertisement for his services that I paid for. Wonderful book, very well read What made the experience of listening to Mojo the most enjoyable? Marshall Goldsmith is such an engaging speaker and he brings so much of that to the reading of this book. It caught my attention and held it to the very end. What about Marshall Goldsmiths performance did you like? Authenticity, realness, speaking from the heart. 7 hours of what should be 1 hour Is there anything you would change about this book? I'm sure the author means well, and he does make some good points. I probably would have enjoyed this content in a journal article or business magazine, or a one hour speaking presentation. But I could not endure seven hours of what should have taken one hour to cover. I gave up shortly after he spent 20 minutes describing how he sat next to 'Bono' of the rock band U2 at a dinner, and how great a guy Bono is.

Concise, historical, inspiring Do you like history, sports, leadership? This book is for you. A number of great perspectives on leadership that are surprisingly combined with good character...

Superb Would you listen to What It Takes to Be Number One again? Why? Yes, definitely. What did you like best about this story?

"Conscious business", explains Fred Kofman, means finding your essential values through your work. A conscious business seeks to promote the intelligent pursuit of happiness in all its stakeholders. It produces sustainable, exceptional performance through the solidarity of its community and the dignity of each member. In this original author adaptation of his book Conscious Business, Fred Kofman presents breakthrough techniques to help you achieve: "A conscious business fosters personal fulfillment in the individuals, mutual respect in the community, and success in the organization," says Kofman. Conscious Business is the definitive resource for achieving what really matters in the workplace and beyond.

(ForeWord Magazine) Members Reviews: Spectacular everything The speed of the audio its absolutely perfect for my as a non english native person in order to follow the story. The distinctions and example are magnificient. I really recommend this audiobook Awesome Read - True to the core Makes so much practical sense and we just do not connect the dots when it can be so easy. I honestly believe it is that learned behavior from our youth, our parents and poor authority examples that gets in the way most of the time. Great speaker, valuable content The author/speaker executes with an interesting, conversational, and almost personal delivery. The content is solid and helped me remember where to keep my focus throughout various interactions and stages of my career. I highly recommend this book. The Business Philosophy for a Generation This is the business book I've been looking to find for a long time now. It presents a way to examine our work, life, intentions and emotions that can guide us to running our work in a way that not only can make us great leaders, but can have a lasting impact on the world. This audiobook is not a copy of the book read out. It's actually a series of audio lectures by the author and is presented in a way that makes it much more effective than most audiobooks. I would recommend everyone who read the book to also accompany it with this audio to really get the full message the author is communicating. Should be on every employees read list Just a great visitation on some basic, but important, interpersonal and business skills. This book has ideas that can easily be implemented in your life/organization and have measurable impact

Larry Winget does not mince words, and in this latest addition to his straight-talking brand, one of the most iconic leaders of the personal development industry puts down in black and white What's Wrong with Damn Near Everything!

The things we wonât compromise on. Unfortunately, some people and some businesses and definitely some of our political leaders are lacking in core values and that is what Larry so brilliantly points out in this book, How our core values are collapsing and what can be done about it. Larry shows us whatâs wrong with people, business, education and government. Thatâs right, there are no âsafe spacesâ here, and that is what I like most about this book. I knew I was going to like this book from the moment I heard the title. My favorite paragraph is, âMamas and daddiesâstop giving your lasy-ass kids stuff and stop giving them money. Governmentâstop giving lazy-ass people stuff and stop giving them money. Stop making it easier for people not to get a job by creating one more government program that the rest of us who do have jobs have to pay for. Everyone: Stop being lazy, go find a job â whether you like the job or not â and earn money to buy your own stuff.â We are all guilty of part of what Larry Winget talks about in this book. We as a society are tolerating too much dishonesty from other people, our employeesâ.and our government. And we are offended by âdamn near everything.â If you believe in #MAGA then you are going to love this book.

The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we're too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from one to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from zero to one. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. Tomorrow's champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today's marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: It starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places. Members Reviews: The honest & well written story about Nikes While I felt the personal story is not truthful, the story about business is brutally honest and educational. I really wanted to thank the author for sharing and teaching. Zero to one is a must read for various startups You will think of things you never thought of before when you read this book. Now is a great time to change your future.

Title: Top Dog Subtitle: The Science of Winning and Losing Author: Po Bronson, Ashley Merryman Narrator: Po Bronson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 02-19-13 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 145 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: It's a dog eat dog world. Don't be on the menu. What are the differences between a winning and losing performance? Why are we able to rise to the challenge one day, but wilt from it the next? Can we in fact become better competitors? In Top Dog, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman use cutting-edge science to tease out the hidden factors at the core of every great triumph - and every tragic failure. By enabling you to identify your own competitive style, Top Dog will help you tip the odds of success in your favor. Integrating wisdom from politics, finance, genetics, neuroscience, psychology, military training, sports, economics, education and more, Top Dog offers counterintuitive, game-changing insights into the nature of competition, such as: As President Dwight Eisenhower said, "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog." In Top Dog, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman reveal the size of the fight in all of us. Members Reviews: Interesting but lacks novelty What made the experience of listening to Top Dog the most enjoyable? I think the performance was very enjoyable and the cases which were presented and disected were current and interesting. Would you be willing to try another book from Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman ? Why or why not? Yes I would be. I found the way the book was written interesting enough that I would give another a try. Which character as performed by Po Bronson was your favorite? N/A What did you learn from Top Dog that you would use in your daily life? There is a very interesting section about additive thinking and subtractive thinking which are forms of self criticism. You can guess which one is effective is creating Top Dogs but you should read the book to learn more. Any additional comments? As an athlete I take an interest in psychology and do a lot of reading on the topic. I have also been educated in Psychology. I found very little information in this book which is not available else where. Most of this has been known for sometime unlike the information in Kahneman's book, Thinking Fast & Slow. Very good read if you have no prior knowslege of the subject. Wanted to like but this just motivated me to stop listening. Too many long stretches of just boring content. Sorry, didn't work for me as an audiobook Average Really good premise but content was all over the place. No real set direction on where it was going. Disappointed. too many unnecessary facts struggled to finish. too many unnecessary facts could have been a lot shorter. there were some good parts to it though Doesn't "go" anywhere Lots and lots of scientific data and anecdotal information without any conclusions. Not actionable. Disappointing. I kept waiting to get to the meat of the message...then the book ended.

They also share vivid stories from their experiences advising thousands of leaders and stories about famous people like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Andy Grove, and Bono. Whether you're introverted or extroverted, competitive or collaborative, intellectual or practical, The Art of Woo will strengthen your persuasion skill in every aspect of your life. Members Reviews: Bargaining and Spring Board) is very good and I believe it will remain in that condition ... Richard Shell three books (Woo , Bargaining and Spring Board) is very good and I believe it will remain in that condition for very long-time. I feel like he has been finding something from his study (perhaps from his life) and now developing it and someday will become a popular new branch of discipline. He is a professor from very well-known university. Extremely Helpful This was very helpful in thinking how do we communicate to others in order to be heard. It laid out strategic thought about networking and how to form an argument. This book is great for people in any realm, but I think it's a necessity for managers or sales people. good introduction to persuasion strategy This book provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals of persuasion and excellent instructions about the methodology to use for a variety of situations. I found the diagnostic tools used to determine someone's persuasion style and anecdotes both insightful and interesting. Solid advice Entertaining and easily applied advice. I got on a plane that had shut its gate thanks to this book...then sat on the tarmac for two hours, but that's another story. Good overall view Very good overall view of communications. I found it gives me more ideas on how to approach various situations where I want to propose changes. Lots of good information here.

Members Reviews: Poker Strategy & Preparation Perfect for Novices Ive always shied away from poker at casinos, because it felt like luck played too much of a part in the outcome. Im a Blackjack person myself I understand it well enough to know how much strategy can affect your game in addition to luck. Poker, however, always seemed ruled more by luck than anything else, and yet people have made careers out of playing it. Im planning a trip to Vegas, and I wanted to find information that might be helpful to someone who doesnt really play poker, and I found this one to be pretty good. This book is quite comprehensive, so I think its great for novices. It describes not just what to do during gameplay, but also how to prepare. It gives advice on become a more focused person generally so that, once you begin to play, you can use those skills to observe your opponents and keep an eye on the cards. The book also gives preparation suggestions, such as going to poker forums on the internet and finding a poker mentor, and also practicing online and in casinos. I particularly found it helpful that the book talks about casino etiquette. Im not new to casinos, but I dont go often, and its easy to forget the little things that can get you sniped at by the dealer or glared at by the pit boss. The book then goes into detail about what you can actually do during the game, plus strategies bluffing, avoiding giving tells, observing tells in others, slow play, knowing when to raise/call/fold, etc. It even talks about the different types of poker players and how to play against them. Definitely worth checking out if youre just getting into poker or are thinking about giving it a try. Poker made easy We play poker week and I constantly found myself losing.

Covey's most profound teachings on business, success, management, family, and love. After Dr. Covey passed away on July 16, 2012, there was an outpouring of emotion for the loss of one of the world's great thinkers on success and leadership. His insightful, straightforward advice has given guidance to millions of people from all walks of life, demonstrating how each of us can control our own destiny. Among his many best-selling books are The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 8th Habit, Principle-Centered Leadership, and First Things First, all of which left a legacy unmatched in its motivational thrust. As inspiring for the countless people who were moved by his thinking as well as those unfamiliar with his work, The Wisdom and Teachings of Stephen R. Covey is a beautifully packaged commemorative edition and compilation of his most inspiring words. Members Reviews: The Best from the Best! Would you consider the audio edition of The Wisdom and Teachings of Stephen R. Covey to be better than the print version? I bet the written version in great but nothing is better then hearing the voice of the master himself. Stephen Covey is a man with such a voice that shows his loving spirit. He can get from point a to point b and yet make you feel like you are appreciated and part of his inner circle. Any additional comments? Listen to this great book, then listen to it again with a pen and paper. Daily look at these stories and phrases of wisdom. A Great Book! Wasn't sure what to expect, as I had read Covey in the past and thought that it might be a little dry for an audio book. It was the exact opposite. A well put together summary and quotes of his best work and resonates with his "Eighth Habit" teachings. Fantastic! It was very informational. Great quotes. I Loved his wisdom on many issues. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Great summary or introduction to Covey's work What did you love best about The Wisdom and Teachings of Stephen R. Covey? This is a good summary of Stephen's work, for those who are familiar with his work, i.e. a cliff notes. If you have not been exposed to his works, its a great introduction, a way to encourage you become more familiar. What aspect of Jesse Boggss performance would you have changed? I would have preferred Stephen Covey, from previous audio recordings. But since that was not possible, Jesse does a good job. Disappointing The principles are sound, and nicely sum up Dr. Covey's key philosophies. But, it doesn't work well as an audio.

It removes some veils and restores our vision of things that matter the most. -Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love Read to you by the author, Robin Sol uses her charisma to bring this book's words to life. It feels as though she's sitting right there with you! Robin Sol is wonderfully transparent and fun. She sings, laughs at herself, talks to you, even sheds a tear...all without breaking this interpersonal story's spell. Critic Reviews: The Charisma Code is a great manual for anyone who wishes to raise their energy level while connecting better in their work and personal relationships. This book will help you tap into the mysterious power we all have, but do not all access." (Congressman Tim Ryan, author of A Mindful Nation) "As our world is entering a new era of interconnectivity, global citizenship is emerging as the only sensitive and realistic way of living for humanity. The Charisma Code builds on this transformational opportunity and creates a credible pathway for everyone to become a true global citizen ensuring that our planet remains livable for generations to come. Robin Sol Lieberman deserves our appreciation and encouragement for articulating her vision in such a lucid and practical way in her book." (Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, Champion of The Culture of Peace; Former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative of the United Nations) Members Reviews: a charismatic reading of charisma What made the experience of listening to The Charisma Code the most enjoyable?

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Charisma Code? I was hooked from the get go and though I have not yet finished the book all that I have heard so far is soul stirring. What about Robin Sol Liebermans performance did you like? Her style is very pleasing to the ear, beautiful tone and no rushing, just a very natural presentation with perfect emphasis to help guide the listener through the audio book. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Know your value - Show your Value - See Other's value! Any additional comments? Listening and taking in THE CHARISMA CODE has been a wonderful and enriching experience. Quality tools for great living and loving. Would you listen to The Charisma Code again? Why? Yes, 1) There are solid useful tools here. If you like to grow, or to help others grow, this books has some gems. There's more to take in than you are likely to get in a single read; 2) The author narrates.

In ENTJ: Understanding & Relating with the Leader, you'll learn about the ENTJ Myers-Briggs Personality Type.

In this audiobook, we'll begin by exploring why the MBTI test is important, then dig into why ENTJs make such influential leaders.

Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Members Reviews: Spot on and very helpful. I have read a lot of Myers-Briggs material and this was very well done As an ENTJ - it's definitely worth listening to! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I would recommend it to my friends, coworkers, and already have recommended to my family. I think learning more about yourself, why we act and think the way we do - allows us to create opportunities for ourselves while also understanding those around us and how we are perceived. What did you like best about this story? I really liked the "Ideal Career Work" section - it is exactly what I needed to help me in my job search. I also liked the "7 Actionable Steps for Improvement". Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? That what makes an ENTJ happy is honesty, integrity, and stability. As well as the notion, we can be admired as we can also be seen as ruthless. I think something is missing... I'm taking notes on this wonderful guide to ENTJs and noticed that the section about the 7 greatest strengths (chapter 10 of 22?) is missing 1 of the 7 strengths! It lists and discusses 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7. #5 doesn't make the cut! So either change it to 6 strengths or add the 5th! Thanks :) This isn't even a book This is some sort of page outline reading. Every 3rd word is a page number. Good short read Good read, but somehow I felt scolded on all the weaknesses and areas for improvement.

Most leaders recognize that developing these clearly articulated statements is time well spent; they help keep the organization on track and pointed toward clear goals. A written leadership philosophy, which we call The Leader's Compass, achieves the same thing on a personal level; it lets people know what you expect, what you value, how you'll act, and how you'll measure performance, with the additional benefits of making the workplace less stressful and more productive. And, like a compass, it helps to keep you, the leader, on course.

R. Covey. This program addresses the specific challenges leaders face every day including: Members Reviews: good listen Is there anything you would change about this book? More. I would have liked to have a bit more depth and breadth and depth of materials. I did not feel like I was hearing anything new. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) This book, for me, was not as strong as other books from Covey. It is a good listen and has some good materials and tidbits on leadership. Seems like a personal consultation Where does Stephen R. Covey on Leadership rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a wonderful listen, it seemed like it was a personal consultation with Stephen himself. I listen while taking long drives and the style of delivery is engaging. What insight do you think youll apply from Stephen R. Covey on Leadership? This hones your psyche. Any additional comments? A must listen. Leadership This is an excellent short series that I am sharing with my team leaders for leadership development. I highly encourage all leaders to take this opportunity to learn more about yourself as a leader and to empower those you wish to develop as leaders. this is a must read for all leaders This book was very well written and provides great insights to true leadership. For new leaders, these ideas will give you a great starting point to build your skills from. Good, but certainly not great. If you could sum up Stephen R. Covey on Leadership in three words, what would they be? Motivating but hokey. Any additional comments? I agree with other reviewers that said this book lacks depth. If you almost threw one of your people out a window today, this book might help you find your center again. You WILL feel an uptick in your desire to "change the world," but you won't gain much in the way of how to do it. It's a series of vignettes more than it is an audio book.

Title: Why Leadership Sucks(tm), Volume 2 Subtitle: The Pain, Pitfalls, and Challenges of Servant Leadership Fundamentals Author: Miles Anthony Smith Narrator: Miles Anthony Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-16 Publisher: Kompelling Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leadership is a hot topic, as more and more books are available on the subject than ever before. The single keyword leadership offers up more than 640 million search results on Google alone, and via the Internet we can access leadership courses (like mine on Udemy.com) and online information more quickly and easily than ever before. Yet we have a severe lack of leadership in most areas of government, business, and even nonprofit organizations. So why is that? It is a lack of follow-through, plain and simple. This book is about putting what we learn into practice, and that is a hallmark of leadership fundamentals. Whenever we feel frustrated or life seems to be spinning out of control, we need to get back to the basics of why we're living. Is it based on the fundamentals of living a selfless life as a service-minded person? "Life and people aren't out to get you, but your approach to life and approach to people are." We can get so distracted by things in life that we forget about what is seminally true. It is always about the fundamentals in work, life, sports, faith, and relationships. We can easily allow ourselves to become distracted by all kinds of things that really don't matter, and most of the time a return to the fundamentals brings us back into balance and peace in our lives. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1: To serve or not to serve. The choice is indeed a tough one. Part 2: Leggo my ego. Addresses the challenge of needing an ego to lead but having that harnessed so it is not unwieldy. Part 3: The danger of persona non grata. You don't want to be the unwelcome person, do you? Part 4: Fierce competition steamrolls ahead. Organization competition is heating up and shows no signs of slowing. Will you ride the wave or be pulled under by the currents? To discover why servant leadership is frustrating and learn practical principles for your leadership journey, listen to a sample or purchase Why Leadership Sucks, Volume 2 now. Members Reviews: Leadership with a Christian twist What made the experience of listening to Why Leadership Sucks(tm), Volume 2 the most enjoyable? I really enjoy reading self help books that answer the question: Why should you change in addition to explaining How you should change. Any additional comments? This book not only helped me to understand how to be a better leader, but also a better employee or servant. I really appreciated how Miles Anthony Smith tied servant leader to the service leadership of Jesus Christ. After reading devotionals or attending mass, I often wonder how to live more fully as a Christian, Leading by serving is a wonderful way--funny I never thought of it before! This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. Miles knows what he is talking about! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Why Leadership Sucks, Volume 2 is FULL of great guidance to new and veteran leaders. Some of it articulated things I suspected already. Some challenged me to stretch, grow, and change.

Businesses die. Businesses fade into oblivion. Revolutions never die. So start a revolution, not a business. After spending seven years on the high seas of the North Atlantic, James Watt started BrewDog craft brewery in Scotland with his best friend, Martin Dickie. They didn't have a business plan, just a mission to revolutionize beer drinking and make other people as passionate about craft beer as they are. Within a few years, BrewDog became one of the world's best-known craft breweries and fastest-growing beverage brands, famous for beers, bars, and crowdfunding. They've not only rewritten the record books - they've inadvertently forged a whole new approach to business. Business for Punks bottles the essence of James' methods in an accessible, honest manifesto. Among his mantras: Business for Punks rethinks conventional business wisdom so you can go beyond the norm. It's an anarchic, indispensable guide to thriving on your own terms.

I am sure that the information would have been good, but the recording was so bad that you couldn't hear what they had to say. I thought it might have been my download so I tried re-downloading it and still can't hear what they are saying. Would you be willing to try another one of Janet Attwoods performances? No. I would be worried it was just as bad a recording!!! Terrible-Save your money1 This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? No one. What do you think your next listen will be? Chris Voss How did the narrator detract from the book? Janet Attwood didn't narrate the book she simply asked Jay Abraham about the results of a passion test he took that she designed. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Very disappointing. I love listening to Jay Abraham but in my opinion this was nothing but a bad recording of a telephone call sold to make money. Any additional comments? Buy one of his other audio books. You will hear better ideas, the recording will be clear and easy to understand and there won't be any background noise that included a ringing phone.

Title: Stress-Free Sustainability Subtitle: Leverage Your Emotions, Avoid Burnout, and Influence Anyone Author: Adam Hammes Narrator: Tom McElroy Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-15 Publisher: Adam Hammes Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Stop struggling and stressing yourself out. Stop being miserable because you think it is required to make the world a better place. Stop being a martyr. This is not your typical sustainability book. It doesn't waste time throwing the usual suspects under the bus, blaming them for all of our problems, and leaving you feeling angry. Instead, it directly asks you to accept that there will always be people to blame for why things aren't the way you wish...and helps you become a master at dealing with them anyway! You can be happy...and a passionate advocate. You can fight for a better world...and have fulfilling relationships with people who disagree with you. You can be a total badass for social and environmental causes...and still sleep well at night. In fact, you better start soon or you'll burn out before you accomplish all the cool stuff you've been dreaming about. Adam Hammes weaves together personal stories from two decades of advocacy as a world traveler, environmental educator, nonprofit founder, business professor, corporate manager of sustainability, and sustainability consultant in ways that connect with our own personal journey. With stories from other social and environmental advocates, you can see some universal experiences that open us all up to realizing where we're holding ourselves back. Critic Reviews: "This is not another preachy book about sustainability that makes you feel even more overwhelmed, confused, and small. It's a book that puts you and your role at the forefront of it all." (Michele Beschen, remake.life and B.Organic) "Finally, a sustainability book that isn't putting me to sleep. Barely cracked this open and already loving it!" (Marc Angelo Coppolla, cofounder, the Valahlla Movement Foundation) Members Reviews: Miserable book Miserable book about an author who feels sorry for himself (despite a perfect childhood), and talks about what a hero he is.

I especially appreciated how she learned about the cultures she was in and honored their customs and practices. She tells of once being put in the position of having to eat some newly butchered raw baby goat fat in its warm milk in order not to offend her hosts, so she did. The friend she had with her took pictures and laughed at her. Have you listened to any of Simone Milasass other performances before? How does this one compare?

Covey Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-06 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: World-renowned expert in leadership and organization, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, presents an in-depth look at Habit 1 of The 7 Habits, Be Proactive. Filled with never-before-released material from Dr. Covey, this audio includes new and insightful examples in the author's trademark engaging speaking and teaching style. © and (P)2006 FranklinCovey Members Reviews: Pretty much a rehash Most of the content is a nearly verbatim rehash of parts of this chapter in the book. Some of the material near the end doesn't sound as familiar, and is very good and very useful. This is useful for those who would like to hear the basic ideas of this chapter and be able to review them without having to 'rewind' to that chapter in the book. Otherwise, just buy the unabridged version of the audiobook! by listen to every chapter it made me think . love it . from the begining to the end.nice book.i recommend. it. to my friends Not exactly as advertised If you already own the actual book, "The Seven Habits...", don't waste your time and money with this one. It's entirely a re-hashing of the Habit 1: Be Proactive chapter from the original book. The publisher should feel embarrassed advertising this version, focusing solely on the 1st habit, as "never before released material" and "including new and insightful examples." Unless I fell asleep somewhere during this one-hour book, I heard nothing I haven't heard released before and nothing "new and insightful." It's literally a re-reading of the original chapter with either sound effects in the background or in a live presentation. While I love hearing Mr. Covey speak live (which bumped it up to 2 stars), it didn't make up for the rest of the program. There's nothing new or fresh about this program. I'm very disappointed, especially coming from a company as good as Stephen Covey's. Great ...BUT Great but if you have read the original book 7 habits of highly effective people then there is no need for this audio book Exceptional. A must for any leader! Exceptional. A must for any leader! Highly recommended or anyone seriously wanting to make lasting changes and start to achieving your goals.

Proven by author Kelly Roach's award-winning career in corporate settings and as an entrepreneur, Unstoppable is set to inspire everyone from the new entrepreneur to the seasoned CEO. In this much anticipated book, Kelly Roach breaks down the top lessons she's learned throughout her award-winning career, blended together with lessons from some of the top industry leaders in the world today in a way that's easy to understand and motivating. From NFL cheerleader to million-dollar business mogul, internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, business coach, and rapid results expert Kelly knows firsthand what it takes to become unstoppable. "Unstoppable delivers an exact play-by-play for taking the goals and dreams you have had for years and finally making them a reality. That's what I want for you. I want you to see that there's more out there: more freedom, more fulfillment, more joy, and, yes, more money. It's all there waiting for you, if you're willing to go after it."

Kelly has so much passion and excitement in her voice, as well as a conversational tone, as she narrates which really engages the listener! What was one of the most memorable moments of Unstoppable? Kelly's story about being in middle school and being on the free lunch program, and the embarrassment she felt in front of her friends because of it. It was very relatable and helped explain the drive to succeed she has today. Have you listened to any of Kelly Roachs other performances before? How does this one compare? I listen to Kelly's podcast as well. This audiobook combines all the inspiration, encouragement, and business tips featured in her podcasts into one great experience. What insight do you think youll apply from Unstoppable? Listening to Unstoppable was a very motivating experience for me. I've taken away an increased drive to work harder and succeed in my goals. Any additional comments? I enjoyed how realistic Kelly was throughout - she really emphasizes that even though success isn't going to come easily and it's something you actually have to work at, it'll pay off in the long run. Big Fan Im a big fan of Kellys work. She brings a ton of value and has lived what she talks about. I really enjoyed her book and have also been blessed by spending time chatting in the past. My favorite line is imperfect action. For me. #DoIt great mindset training I really like the enthusiasm Kelly has. She makes great points in this book. Recommend for daily listening. Kelly is the real deal. I have created two multi-million dollar service companies. This book inspired and educated me in ways that few books have.

The Trophy Effect Audiobook by Michael Nitti

Title: The Trophy Effect Author: Michael Nitti Narrator: Michael Nitti Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-10 Publisher: Motivational Press, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The Trophy Effect is an innate, subconscious force that causes human beings to focus on their shortcomings, rather than on their accomplishments. As a result, we are inclined to feel more doubtful than hopeful and are more likely to give up on things rather than stay the course. Moreover, because The Trophy Effect is tied directly to our survival instinct (our "reactionary mind"), it is so well concealed that we do not even know that it is occurring. Therefore, we are not aware that The Trophy Effect is something over which we can exercise full control by simply learning how to do so! Members Reviews: Great Insight and Valuable Any additional comments? This book takes you on a tour of your subconscious thoughts that have been ruling your behavior and life you didn't realize and then pull you out the other end with practical tools for getting the most out of changing your perceptions, thinking and ultimately achieving the outcomes you're looking for. Transformational! Michael is a true master of human psychology who had an amazing gift for explaining things in an engaging and easy to understand way. I Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to play full out and lead an extraordinary life. Isn't this what we should all be striving for ? 1 idea, many words I am a student of human motivation and have read and listened to many 100s of books. I found this one remarkably smug and condescending. The author acts like he's invented electricity with his one idea (which, incidentally, is a good one). However, many people have talked about it before him and, I might add, more eloquently. Save your time and money.

Covey Narrador: David Mier Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 44 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-09-16 Editor: AB Publishing, Franklin Covey Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 5 votos Categorías: Business, Leadership Resumen del editor: Este libro contiene la sabiduría cristalizada de uno de los maestros más importantes de nuestro tiempo, el Dr. Stephen R. Covey. Deseaba hacer una contribución distinta - ser un maestro, dedicar su vida a liberar el potencial humano. "Todo ser humano es precioso," escribió, "dotado de unas capacidades y un potencial enorme, casi infinito."Con la publicación de Los 7 Hábitos de la Gente Altamente Efectiva, considerado por muchos como el libro más influyente de nuestro tiempo, el Dr. Covey tuvo-y sigue teniendo-un impacto mundial. Este libro y el resto de sus obras pueden encontrarse literalmente en bibliotecas de casas y oficinas de todo el mundo. No sólo sus enseñanzas, también su vida nos recuerda el poder de los principios duraderos. El no estaba interesado en seguir modas o ser complaciente para obtener publicidad. Su pasión era articular y enseñar verdades inalterables, inmutables y atemporales de la vida-verdades que se aplican por igual al éxito profesional y a una profunda satisfacción personal. También vivió siguiendo esas verdades, algo que incontables amigos, familiares y estudiantes del Dr. Covey pueden atestiguar. Ordenados siguiendo principios vitales decisivos-como la integridad, el equilibrio en la vida, la visión y el amor-las historias y citas contenidas en este libro enseñan estos principios de una forma accesible y valiosa. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Opiniones de los miembros: Centrado, cercano, y reconfortante ¡Me encantó! La manera en que habla es clara y convincente, sin caer en la palabrería que uno podría esperar tradicionalmente de un libro de apoyo. Por el contrario, es afable, directo, y centrado. Lo que más me gustó fue la forma en que habla de la individualidad de cada uno de nosotros, de cómo debemos ubicar nuestro lugar y nuestros deberes, tanto hacia los otros como hacia los demás, pero siempre teniendo en cuenta que somos únicos y de que nuestra responsabilidad es encontrar el camino que nos llene, que nos dé satisfacción y genuinamente nos convierta en mejores personas. A veces son los pequeños cambios en nuestra actitud y conciencia los que hacen las diferencias más grandes.

Good book This book is easy listening and has good icebreaker activities. I would recommend this book for new team leaders. Team Building at its finest As a longtime fast food manager, I have to say that team building is one of the strongest traits a successful manager should have. Nothing says teamwork like trying to get a bunch of teenagers to work together toward a common goal (customer satisfaction)! This is a great book to read (listen to) to help you get to that personal professional goal of your own - that of building a team that works together like a well-oiled machine. I was impressed with some of the techniques brought forth here and I would recommend it to others who are looking for a few tips on how to build a strong, efficient, working team. It's important to remember that people are individuals first and foremost. Team leaders have to understand that and work with it. Another thing I like about this book is the fact that you can get it on audio version instead of just the printed. I do a lot of driving and having it so readily available without straining my eyes is pretty cool. Team Building Made Easy Team Building is easy with this book as a reference. Success of a team depends on the foundation the team is built upon. Learn to approach team building much like starting a new business venture: define your mission statement and goals and WRITE it down.

This book has really changed the way I live. Highly recommeded. Worth the purchase. Any additional comments? This book is full approaches on how to create good habits and break bad ones. Even if only a few resonate and motivate an adjustment to one's behavior I see that as well worth the cost of this book. The narration is clear and upbeat and helps set the proper mindset. However, I would not recommend this book for someone looking for step by step actions to achieve their goals. This book seem more like a reminder or a friend who helps point you in the right direction and in some cases inspires you to think/approach things differently. Make it a Habit... ...to re-listen to this "100 Best Habits" book periodically. It is one of the most powerful positive motivators out there. I don't know about you, but I need my habits to be affirmed; I need to be reminded that my habits are worth keeping (good habits, that is). I forget, that like the rest of humanity, I function best with a modicum of structure in my life. I like that the book also includes practical helps to break unhelpful (bad) habits.

The specific circumstances that call us to lead will be different, but the core dilemmas and ethical challenges are very similar. Faced with these challenges, each of us must decide if we will follow our ego-centered inclinations or lead for the good of everyone whose lives we touch? Will we endanger or impair those around us to satisfy our own self-interest, or will we lead in a manner that is true to our values? In his inspiring book Lead True, Jeff Thompson MD has masterfully compiled stories from the business, healthcare, and education fields, illustrating how a diverse group of leaders has employed values-based leadership and succeeded. These case studies offer dynamic, living narratives that demonstrate ways in which a leader, fueled by personal values, can change people, organizations, and even entire industries. What sets this book apart is the interweaving of the author's personal leadership story in healthcare to the insights from start-ups, mid-career, and top-level leaders-people who have proven that values-driven leadership is not simply a noble idea but one that actually works in practice. The author artfully shows that the goal of leadership is not to move one individual ahead of all others. When you lead true, you can move everyone forward-people, organizations, and communities - finding the best route for all. Members Reviews: Real Leadership This book takes everything you have ever learned about leadership and turns it on its head. It opens up a wider perspective where leadership is based in concern for the community. I loved seeing how one small health system lived its commitment to community health and showed how sustainability and caring could be financially sound in the long term, too. Be prepared to learn from a great leader and a great organization Be prepared! From the first chapter of LEAD TRUE you will be inspired by Dr. Thompsonâs accounts of diverse challenges and how Jeff and his team worked toward desired outcomes. Although I never walked the hospital corridors or participated in a meeting at Gundersen Health System, LEAD TRUE brings you front and center to a great organization. LEAD TRUE was a learning experience of examples with insights of what great leaders and great organizations do. I read LEAD TRUE taking notes and a highlighter. Now itâs time to read LEAD TRUE again for deeper understanding. Good read and helpful advice I have read many leadership books. This ranks high on my list. Good read and helpful advice. The one book about healthcare leadership you should read One of the consistently high performing areas in publishing is the business leadership literature. Unfortunately few books focus on value-driven business strategies for healthcare leaders. This is surprising considering we spend at least $3 Trillion a year on healthcare in this country. I say at least because this estimate does not take into account the indirect costs of disease burden on families and loss of productivity. Nevertheless there is much to be learned from celebrity authors like Jim Collins, Steven Covey and Malcolm Gladwell. Good to Great, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and David and Goliath should be on the reading list of anyone in healthcare leadership. For aspiring healthcare leaders, there has never been the equivalent of a book like Good to Great or Great by Choice.

Title: The Diary of a West Point Cadet Subtitle: Captivating and Hilarious Stories for Developing the Leader Within You Author: Preston George Pysh Narrator: Jack Hicks Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-14 Publisher: Pylon Publishing LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Let's be honest. A lot of books about West Point or leadership can be very dry. Learning doesn't have to be that way. In The Diary of a West Point Cadet, by Captain Preston Pysh, the author teaches essential West Point leadership through the most fun and unique reading of any book in its class. Each intriguing firsthand account of Preston's top 12 enthralling and hilarious stories from attending West Point, will capture your interest and imagination. The stories walk the reader down a personal journey many outsiders never see behind the thick stoney walls. As an added bonus, Preston efficiently summarizes how each gripping story taught him a vital leadership lesson that prepared him to be a combat commander with the renown 101st Airborne Division. If you are an aspiring cadet, a small-group leader, or even an emerging leader in corporate America, this book is for you. If you like twists and turns while reading and learning, you are in for a treat. Learning about leadership and the United States Military Academy has never been this fun. Prepare to be glued to your seat and the text as you experience unforgettable stories and lessons from "The Point." Members Reviews: Entertaining and Educational! 6 stars. This book is a fun, entertaining, set of stories with lessons that apply to the real world. Are you looking to become a better leader in life and business? This book is for you. This author, Preston, does a fantastic job relating his experiences at West Point to your everyday life. If you're looking to increase overall efficiency, productivity, and become the best version of yourself, this book will push you to do just that. If you, your son, or daughter, is looking to apply to West Point, this book is a must read. The stories Preston tells will allow you to gain insight on what happens at the military academy and more importantly, why. You can use this book to develop a mindset of what to expect before going in cold turkey. One of the best pieces of advice you will get out of this book is to write down on a piece of paper 5 short-term and 5 long-term goals you want to accomplish. By writing them down, the chances of you completing them will increase exponentially. You will get the most out of life by accomplishing your goals. But first, you have to spend time thinking about and continually updating what goals are most important to you. The narrator of the audio book, Jack, also does a fantastic job of telling the stories. The best way humans communicate is through stories. I could clearly picture what was happening every step of the way! Thank you, Preston and Jack! Awesome listening experience! This book is one of the most honest, entertaining and insightful books I have ever had the priviledge to listen to. Apart from the valuable leadership advice, the stories are entertaining and filled with excitement. The only thing that could possibly make the audiobook better, is if Preston could narrate it himself (not that Jack Hicks did anthing wrong - he does a superb job). Thank you for a book that I wanted to never finish. Entertaining and Educational What made the experience of listening to The Diary of a West Point Cadet the most enjoyable? I liked how he laid out the book.

Brodie Seminar Series, Book 6 Author: Paul Brodie Narrator: Paul Brodie Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-17 Publisher: Paul G. Brodie Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Change your outlook through developing a successful mindset. What if new habits could dramatically improve your mindset? What if you could grow your business and increase your revenue with a few simple steps? Imagine changing your life, having freedom, and getting the opportunity to be your own boss, set your own hours, and achieve your lifelong goals. Amazon best-selling author Paul G. Brodie covers how to develop a successful mindset in the next 90 days. Here is an inside peek at what you will get out of Champion. In this audiobook, you will learn how to: Bonus questions are at the end of each chapter to help develop your successful mindset. Start your journey towards developing a successful mindset today! Members Reviews: Impactful Starting my own consulting business after years as a teacher has not been easy. The skills, tools, and mindset needed to do well in a bureaucratic, hierarchal system are very different than the ones needed to be a successful entrepreneur. Since my move, I've been a voracious reader of books on trying to figure out how to shift my mindset and develop the best tools for my new career, but to minimum success. Until I read, Paul Brodie's book, Champion. Because Mr. Brodie was also an educator in a bureaucratic system before shifting gears into entrepreneurism, I finally found the mentor I had been searching for. Throughout the book, he shares his story about what he did and what it took to become a "champion" and showed me that I could do it too. The chapter that I can't stop thinking about is the "Five Ones" and how Mr. Brodie discovered the power of focusing on one thing. As a teacher, you're expected to focus on many things at the same time and be good at all of them, or else you fail. What I realized reading the chapter is why I stay stuck and can't seem to move forward: trying to do everything and do it well. But this mindset is no longer the path to my success, and I now know what I need to change. I highly recommend this easy-to-read yet impactful book. Immensely readable self help memoir This is an immensely readable book that is technically a self help book but at its heart is really a memoir. The author puts his many learnings about health and business into a short guide which is filled with anecdotes and lessons from his own life. Some of it I couldn't relate to as with young kids I couldn't take on his system of batching work. Also, I would have liked to know the final outcome of his health and weight struggles - I felt like we were left up in the air. Overall, I recommend this easy to read book to anyone who wants a bit of a pick me up and a few strategies in work and life. SOLID ADVICE - COMFORTABLE WRITING STYLE Each of Paul G. Brodieâs books gets better. Heâs a ten-time bestselling author, so he must be doing something right. He wrote Champion: Ten Ways to Develop A Successful Mindset to help readers achieve success by shifting their focus to positive aspects of their lives instead of dwelling on the negative. Mr. Brodie offers solid advice using a comfortable writing style and is not afraid to share his personal battles to help others follow his ten steps to a successful mindset in the next 90 days. There are several things I enjoy about his books and his principles I have been following Paul's work for quite some time.

Members Reviews: Good idea, but disappointed There are no start-up weekends around me, I thought this book would be very helpful to maybe learn some exercises or some things that they learn. This book is just way too advertise for start up weekend. The majority of the book is stories about people at start up weekend. If I wanted a book to empower me that I can start a business this book is not that bad, but the book is advertised that you will learn how to get your business from concept to creation. The book does not do that. It does have one chapter that is focused on teaching you things, but overall I would say this book to help prepare you if you are going to start up weekend. Just an exceptionally long advert Not really worth listening to. Its basically an advert for "start up weekend" from start to finish. There is some gold in there, but you have to dig and dig to find it. Please note, If you read the title and thought it meant how to start a company in a weekend - it isn't at all. Not worth the month's credit Very disappointed with this after listening to "The Launchpad - Inside Y combinator" which was an excellent audiobook packed full of value. This was nothing but a paid advert for Startup Weekend, which does sound great, but not when I'm the one paying to listen! Find another book - it's not worth the credit.

Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers is a compilation of selected interviews conducted by author Tim Ferriss on his podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The book contains some of the most noteworthy excerpts of these interviews, interspersed with musings by Ferriss himself, as well as context surrounding what he considers to be the most exemplary quotations. Ferriss describes his process toward self-enrichment as one that requires him to keep volumes of notebooks on his life and workout regimes. Many of these notebooks contain his thoughts on the interviews he's conducted over the years. Although he originally intended to keep these notebooks to himself, he realized that they might be of value to his readers and compiled some of his thoughts on his favorite interviews into a single text, along with the text of selected interviews.

Title: Future Perfect Subtitle: The Case for Progress in a Networked Age Author: Steven Johnson Narrator: Samuel Cohen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 09-18-12 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Combining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the optimistic arguments of Everything Bad Is Good for You, New York Times best-selling author Steven Johnson's Future Perfect makes the case that a new model of political change is on the rise, transforming everything from local governments to classrooms, from protest movements to health care. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this new political worldview - influenced by the success and interconnectedness of the Internet, but not dependent on high-tech solutions - that breaks with the conventional categories of liberal or conservative thinking. With his acclaimed gift for multi-disciplinary storytelling and big ideas, Johnson explores this new vision of progress through a series of fascinating narratives: from the "miracle on the Hudson" to the planning of the French railway system; from the battle against malnutrition in Vietnam to a mysterious outbreak of strange smells in downtown Manhattan; from underground music video artists to the invention of the Internet itself. At a time when the conventional wisdom holds that the political system is hopelessly gridlocked with old ideas, Future Perfect makes the timely and inspiring case that progress is still possible, and that new solutions are on the rise. This is a hopeful, affirmative outlook for the future, from one of the most brilliant and inspiring visionaries of contemporary culture. Members Reviews: Learn something new Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. I enjoy this book, Like it, and learned a few things, I did loose interest later on, last chapters weren't so great. But still overall I like it very much.

Often we filter experiences through a lens that does not include our hearts. Harmful habits can form when we act out of fear or self-preservation (our head) instead of using our heart. But habits can be changed. Johnny illustrates how to understand better our human nature and unleash its potential; to lead from your heart, live courageously and create the life you want. So many times we are in a reactive mode, not thinking about what we are doing. Have we ever stopped and asked: Johnny helps us understand the genesis of our results - our mind - and our own system of checks and balances - our conscience. By combining what we currently know with Covey's five habits, we will have everything we need to elevate our thinking, take the next step, and succeed.

Title: The Golden Key to Strategy Subtitle: 101 Lessons in Winning Small Victories Every Day Author: Gary Gagliardi Narrator: Gary Gagliardi Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-17 Publisher: Gary Gagliardi, Science of Strategy Institute, Clearbridge Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book takes an entertaining approach to teaching practical strategies for success in everyday decision-making. Its 101 lessons can change your life by teaching you to see competition from a completely new perspective. The book is full of stories, jokes, and quotes based on strategic principles that go back 2,500 years to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. The book takes competition out of the realm of conflict and redefines it as a matter of making the right choices based to improve the ways you are compared to others. The original edition of this book was the winner of the Ben Franklin book award as best self-help book of the year. This 10th-anniversary edition contains has been greatly improved based on the author's recent nine-volume work on the various aspects of competitive strategy. Members Reviews: Unbelievably Powerful! Would you listen to The Golden Key to Strategy again? Why? Asking if I would listen to this again, is like asking me if I would like to listen to Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich again or if I would like to read The New England Patriot's secret football playbook more than once. Let me think about that...Yes? Please? This material is profoundly life-changing, I'm still trying to completely wrap my brain around these profound concepts but I've already gotten some amazing insights. Looking forward to listening again and again. What other book might you compare The Golden Key to Strategy to and why? Sun Tsu's Art of War, Robert Greene's 33 Strategies of War, Bob Rice's Three Moves Ahead. Malcolm Gladwell's Outlyers (or pretty much anything from Malcolm Gladwell), The first 3 are good books on Strategy. The Malcolm Gladwell books are stimulating brain candy and The Golden Key has elements of both, but ties them together into an elegant and practical system. Have you listened to any of Gary Gagliardis other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't yet, but if they're anything like The Golden Key, I'd be interested in listening to more of Gary's programs. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? "The Secret Laws of Strategy" Any additional comments? I wish I had stumbled across this 25 years ago. I would have saved myself a lot of wasted time and frustration. Very useful content. 150 audio books in my Audible library and this one is definitely on the top of my list. Well worth the credit.

Here's a preview of what you'll discover about habits: Here's a preview of what you'll discover about success: Here's a preview of what you'll discover about self-discipline: Members Reviews: Habits need Self-discipline to Stimulate Success These three topics are deeply interrelated, but the process begins with habits. I know it takes self-discipline and willpower to sustain my actions until they are habits, but sometimes my self-discipline becomes sluggish; when this happens I have found the practical suggestions and the encouragement across all three books to be helpful. That's where the audible form is so useful. I can easily play portions of each book in in-between-times, or whenever I start to flounder. I'm bound to find a helpful suggestion in the first minute or so of listening. The positive and affirming voice of the narrator makes these words all the more powerful. Be a Success with Good Habit and Self Discipline What did you love best about Habit, Success, Self Discipline: The Time to Be Great Is Now!? You need to change your habits in to positive ones and you also have to have self discipline in order to be a success. I found this trilogy of books to be very informative and the things in it will definitely put me on the path to success. The think I loved most was that this was all common sense type things that all fit together to make you successful. It is all easy to do and doesn't take a lot of money either. I think you get a great deal from this trilogy and you can use just about everything in the book to better yourself. What other book might you compare Habit, Success, Self Discipline: The Time to Be Great Is Now! to and why? The book The Habits of Highly Successful People by Paul O. Roberts is a similar book and tells you all about the habits successful people have honed over the years that made them successful. I actually liked the Ace McCloud book better because it gave good techniques on how to change you habits to those that will gain success. The other book gave more examples. What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Joshua Mackey has an easy-to-listen-to voice. He could read anything and make it sound interesting. These three books are interesting in their own right, but Mr. Mackey made them even more so. He gets the point across with his voice inflections and excitement about the subject. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I particularly enjoyed the information on finances in the Success part of the book. This gave me a great deal of information I could use in my own life to make sure I am doing the right things to make my money grown and work for me, rather than me working for it. Each one of the books has great information that is valid in this day and age. Any additional comments? You will not be disappointed with this trilogy and will find the information inside to be a valuable asset to helping you reach success through positive habits and self discipline. Discover the Habits You Need to Be Your Best Self! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would absolutely recommend this bundle to a friend.

Reflections for Highly Effective People Audiobook by Stephen R. Covey

Covey Narrator: Stephen R. Covey Format: Abridged Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-13 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Make the 7 habits a part of your life - every day.... Stephen R. Covey has helped millions of readers attain professional success and personal fulfillment. With penetrating insight Dr. Covey reveals a pathway for living with fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity - principles that give us the security to adapt to change and the wisdom and power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates. Now, as a succinct introduction to Dr. Covey's revolutionary thinking or as a reminder of key principles, Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People provides an inspirational recharge that will bring you closer to a holistic sense of personal effectiveness and purpose. Members Reviews: Good ideas but difficult presentation style This is not an easy tape to listen to. You really have to sit down with it and study it to get all the points it is making. I think that a lot of what he says is common sense but in addition there are also other interesting concepts that may be of use to business people and families with troubled teens. What I would criticise this tape for is the way the ideas are presented. It feels a little like being in a seminar given by a professor of psycology rather than a tape meant for all. It is not straight forward. The concepts seem too abstract which doessn't help as many of them are presented through metaphore like "sharpening the saw", for instance. And in the same section as "sharpening the saw" there is an anecdote about smallpocks innoculations that doesn't seem to fit unless, as I say, you really make the effort with the tape. You can't listen to it effectively in the car, for instance. "Well don't, then!" you may be saying, but if you campare Covey's style to someone like Anthony Robbins, you will find that Robbins is just so much easier to understand, and the ideas are presented in a tangible way, rather than like a cryptic crossword. Still, there are some good, new things in the tape, and that is what you really want, isn't it? I didn't like the fact that as well as Covey, there are two other speakers taking it in turns to read the book. Why? What is the purpose? OK, one more thing. Why do people have to quote Shakespeare are though he were the authority on everything? In this tape Covey says things like "Shakespeare put it this way". So what? Why doesn't anyone have the guts to tell the truth? Bill Shakes is BORING!!! And yes I DO understand it. But it is totally out of place on a tape like this. I find anyone who reverts to quoting Shakespeare very suspect. Quote Plato, quote The Buddha, quote Annie Oakley if you want but PLEASE! Spare us the Bill Shakes!

In fact sociologists rank public speaking as our greatest fear. But there's good news. You can overcome this and other fears through the Vocal Awareness System that Arthur Joseph has spent over four decades successfully developing. Now, in Voice of a Leader, Joseph offers proven methods to create a paradigm shift in the way you present yourself. You will learn the skills necessary to maximize the power of your voice, increase your confidence, and instill consciousness in your communication both in business and in life. Join this leading authority on voice training to learn: Speaking with authority is your greatest tool for becoming a wholly integrated and successful person. Now, with Voice of a Leader, you will learn to reclaim your most overlooked business asset - your voice. Members Reviews: Put aside the awkwardness and fully commit to this program I could honestly recommend this book to anyone. If I compare how I sounded before and after listening to this book and practicing, I'd have to say that I sound like a completely different person now. In normal day life and during work (I'm a salesman) I found that people are much more fixed to the things I'm saying, furthermore the words I say have much more impact. And the funny thing is that my intentions are exactly the same as before. At first some things may sound strange, for exmple I laughed out loud when I heared the yawn-sigh at first. But after finishing the entire book I decided to give it a try and I was amazed by it's effect. Once you're fully aware of the things you should pay attention to while speaking you will be changing from a normal speaking person into a compelling storytelling person in no time. This course enhances your life and anyone should at least try it. Best Of The Best This 2cd set is better & richer than the 6cd Vocal Awareness & for everyone of us. You will fall in love with Joseph's honesty & passion. Don't we all want to feel the fullness of who we are & express it effectively & at least be at our best. I learned & experienced something new & it was fun. Absolutely 5 stars. Stunningly awful 1. The speaking guru's voice is horrible. You must buy this just to hear it. 2. There isn't enough content on improving one's voice. Just some tips. 3. There is no content on leadership. WTF! Mastery level work! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I have purchased over 100 copies of this 3CD set from Arthur Samuel Joseph to my clients and friends. His work, beautifully captured in this audio book program, is mastery level. A must listen-to audio book for any leader who wants to own his/her vocal power Vocal Leadership Unleashed This CD set is without a doubt my favorite audio set in the library! It's on my IPhone, in my car and on every computer for me to access when I need a dose of Arthur Samuel Joseph. Listening to Arthur is truly inspiring and quite emotional. Arthur guides us through his personal journey into Vocal Awareness and then through the techniques necessary to become an empowered communicator. There are so many valuable nuggets of information each and every time I listen to the program.

Title: Sport Is Life with the Volume Turned Up Subtitle: Lessons Learned That Apply to Business and Life Author: Joan Cronan, Rob Schriver Narrator: Lee Ahonen Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In Sport Is Life with the Volume Turned Up, Joan Cronan offers a refreshing and innovative perspective on strengthening performance and achieving success in both the business world and everyday life. During her 28 years as Women's Athletics Director for the University of Tennessee, Cronan built one of the most prominent and respected women's athletics programs in the nation, resulting in 10 NCAA titles and 24 SEC Tournament Championships for the Lady Vols during her tenure. She reveals in her book what happened behind the scenes in constructing a successful, nationally renowned women's athletics program - and it turns out that game days were only part of the story. Cronan's lighthearted stories and succinct business tips will draw you in until you feel like you are present for every victory she describes on the court and in the workplace. Cronan's business acumen and passionate approach to positive change will arm you with the outlook and the tools you need to revolutionize the professional and personal spheres in your life. The book is published by The University of Tennessee Press. Critic Reviews: "Joan and Pat Summitt were what I call 'glass cutters' in building the Tennessee women's athletics program. They did not break the glass ceiling; they carefully carved their way through." (Washington Post) "Joan has the ability to bring out the best in people and provide them with the skills to be the best that they can be." (Robin Roberts, co-anchor, Good Morning America) "Joan was a driving force in elevating the prominence and brand of Tennessee Lady Vol athletics through strategy, excellence, and priceless relationships." (Pat Summitt, legendary Lady Vols basketball coach) Members Reviews: A Guide for Living a Great Life Joan has written an outstanding book. It is filled with wonderful examples of how to move ahead when your path seems blocked. She discovered her mission when she was not permitted to play Little League ball because she was the wrong gender. Joan set out to change that and she did for all the girls and women who followed her. Joan's book is full of heart warming stories, but it does not neglect the trials of a true pioneer. She gives great directions for obtaining a successful life and bolsters them with wonderful quotations. Under-girding Joan's success is a devoted Christian, wife, and mother. Joan has the heart of a giant. She makes better everything that she touches. She is right when she applies all of these lessons learned to life and business. Loved it. Motivational and inspirational, for Lady Vol fans or for those who couldn't differentiate a basketball from a football. Loved it. Buy this book! This is a great book from a lady who shaped athletics in this country. Her ideology works both in the business world as well as the emotional arena of sports. Great book by a great lady! Wonderful, entertaining book filled with great quotes and helpful hints for any walk of life. Five Stars Great book written by an outstanding lady.

Title: Think Win-Win Subtitle: Habit 4 of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Author: Stephen R. Covey Narrator: Stephen R. Covey Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-05-06 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: World-renowned expert in leadership and organization, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, presents an in-depth look at Habit 4 of The 7 Habits, Think Win-Win. Filled with never-before-released material from Dr. Covey, this audiobook includes new and insightful examples in the author's trademark engaging speaking and teaching style. © and (P)2006 FranklinCovey Members Reviews: Positive and very authoritative message This audiobook was read by the author in front of a live audience. At humerous moments, you can hear the audience laugh. Covey is an authoritative speaker. He talks naturally as one familiar and knowledgeable in the subject. The message that win-win is not only possible but the best policy resonates well with me. This is what I want to hear actually, but the fact that Covey is so authoritative reassures me. He explains why win-win works better than win-lose or lose-win and provides simple but interesting stories to illustrate this phenomenon. This is a short CD and one I'd like to listen to many times for the inspirational value. The idea of win-win makes sense but we can lose the sense of it when we witness people succeeding in the short term through win-lose actions (taking advantage of others, particularly those in a weaker or vulnerable position). Over time, one's reputation is worth a lot. When one strives to make sure both parties to a deal, transaction or relationship benefit, one builds a better future for oneself. I see this in many aspects of life. Consider the job market for example. It's a lot easier to find a job if you've build up a good reputation. However, as with all positive messages, it's necessary to expose oneself frequently just because the daily injustices of life can make a person insecure and cynical. That's why I plan to listen to this audiobook many more times.

Biro Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In an inspiring new motivational book, management consultant and speaking guru Brian Biro describes how we can seize and act upon the Windows of Opportunity that we encounter to transform our lives. In There Are No Overachievers, renowned speaker and former US swimming coach Brian Biro distills a lifetime of lessons on how to be more energized and passionate about work and life by seizing the WOO. A WOO is a Window of Opportunity - a precious, unrepeatable moment that can impact, redirect, and even reshape our lives, once we recognize and choose to seize them. By enhancing our ability to relate to others, increasing our personal energy, fostering greater teamwork, and better partnering with those around us, he shows us how we can create windows of opportunity each and every day that can change our careers and our lives. Organized in a series of short, targeted chapters, There Are No Overachievers encourages us to engage others, overcome our incessant need for approval, and go beyond our limits to deliver breakthrough results. Interweaving personal stories and anecdotes from his life as a top national swimming coach and executive vice president with insights and action steps we can apply to our lives, Biro reveals the secrets to living a rich and dynamic life, and a successful and fulfilling career. Critic Reviews: "Most opportunities that come our way are gifts. Some are good for us - some for others. Brian in There Are No Overachievers gives you the information you need to select the right ones and importantly, how to make the most of them when you do! This is a secret to a rich and full life!" (Harry Paul, coauthor of FISH! and Who Kidnapped Excellence?) "In a world so often bombarding us with negativity, isn't it time we started focusing on what we can do instead of what we can't? In his new blockbuster There Are No Overachievers, Brian Biro reawakens us to the magnificent truth that there is more in each one of us than we've ever dreamed of. We can make every moment count. We can shape our futures, energize our lives, and build rich and fulfilling relationships. We are not overachievers. We are here to shine! Brian Biro lights the way for all of us." (Marci Shimoff, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Happy for No Reason, Love For No Reason, and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul) "A commonsense guide to living a more meaningful life...with enthusiasm, purpose, and breakthrough thinking! Must reading for those who want to unlock the potential for greatness in each of us." (Ron Sargent, CEO of Staples) Members Reviews: Some value lost in translation I think the author is effective in important ways, and sincere. My experience reading the book is that the material didn't energize me as it would at an in-person event. My internal response to the written language wasn't energizing. Something chafed, and that's just my experience as I'll describe below. I lost my concentration on the larger message against my wishes because my attention was consumed by the written expressions used. For example consider the sentence, "I have never been a part of a more selfless, energized, and egoless team" (p. 177). I enjoy hearing speech like that and find it energizing.

Hess Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-06-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Civil War historian Earl J. Hess presents a compelling biography of Braxton Bragg, the commander of the Confederate Army of Tennessee from the summer of 1862 to the end of 1863. Critic Reviews: "Well-documented, Hess's examination of Bragg is balanced and fair and will interest all Civil War aficionados." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: An Attempt to Vindicate Bragg As the title indicates, Bragg has been largely reviled by historians for a century and a half. Hess has taken the arduous ask of attempting to rehabilitate Bragg by spinning every possible excuse available. Historians who have denigrated Bragg are all plagiarists (according to Hess) who didn't do their own research. While Hess does present pro-Bragg sources, they do not match the number or status of his critics. But it is an interesting POV and worth reading/listening. The narration by Yen is incredible! Enough with the ridiculous accents Could we stop with the ridiculous accents please? I assume most of us are adults and can comprehend a quote without the added antics.While the story is good I find the narrator distracting.

Title: Character Author: Richard Gorham, Orison Swett Marden Narrator: Richard Gorham Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-07 Publisher: Leadership-Tools.com Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: As the following excerpt shows, listeners will learn important life lessons as they begin their leadership journey: "Our own free will, our conviction that we have real power over the formation of our character; our will, by virtue of influencing our circumstances, being able to modify and build for our future, provides the tool of personal empowerment we need in order to take charge of our lives. "How is character made up, except by our choices and our refusals? We select from life what we choose. In this way we resemble insects which assume the color of the leaves and plants they feed upon. Sooner or later we become like the food of our minds, like the creatures that live in our hearts. "Every act of our lives, every word, every association, is written with an iron pen upon the very texture of our being. What will our future be except what we make it? Our purpose will give it meaning. One's resolution is one's prophecy. There is no bright hope, no great outlook, for the man who is not inspired by a resolute purpose." Members Reviews: One of the best books! One of the best self help authors from past or present! Five Stars Very good books for life I have really enjoyed what I have read I have just started reading this book. I have really enjoyed what I have read. Four Stars I really enjoy this book, it is largely a book of quotes and examples, but inspiring. Read this book to learn how to develop character, so that you can stand out in a world seriously lacking in character. "What is Character? Is it not that sum of qualities which distinguishes one person from another?" I once heard a Hollywood movie actor use the line, "You make me want to be a better man." The books I have read by O.S. Marden not only make me want to be a better man, they give me a simple outline and description of things that I can do to make myself a better man. "What sadder sight is there than an old man who has spent his whole life getting instead of growing." I recommend this book so that you can learn to be a person of character. A person others look up to, admire, and respect. What good is all the money, if no one likes you or wants to be around you? Spend a little time working on yourself, not just working for money.

True North Groups Audiobook by Bill George, Doug Baker

Title: True North Groups Subtitle: A Powerful Path to Personal and Leadership Development Author: Bill George, Doug Baker Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-13 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author Bill George (True North) and longtime corporate executive Doug Baker have participated for decades in a unique small group of peers dedicated to personal growth and leadership development. In this book they provide the first practical guide - including detailed instructions, rules, and resources - for anyone to start and manage such a group on their own. Members Reviews: Wonderful, Inspiring Work True North Groups: A Powerful Path to Personal and Leadership Development is a remarkable book that presents a simple, well-tested method for establishing member-run, open-ended, peer-support teams that enable members to support one another in their self-defined personal growth efforts. For decades, George and Baker have facilitated the formation of hundreds of True North Groups that have proven profoundly beneficial. Now they have distilled their thoughts into a user-friendly manual that any group of well functioning individuals can use to start their own support team. The forces of modernization that produce widespread isolation are relentless. Often due to underlying economic insecurity, people in the modern world become obsessed with being productive, having an impact on the world, finding their hyper-specialized niche, advancing their career, and/or simply having a good time. These obsessions with work and play overwhelm deeper impulses. To overcome those trends and find greater intimacy generally requires conscious, intentional effort. The True North approach seems to offer a great way to do so. The True North approach does not involve authority figures training others with some pre-determined agenda. That authority-based model is harder to spread, for it requires time to train the trainers. And that model is less responsive to the needs of the participants, for it defines the agenda in advance rather than allowing each individual to define their own needs. So far, few progressive political activists have indicated much interest in these ideas. Perhaps the success that has been demonstrated by the True North approach will encourage progressive political activists to take a closer look at the possibility of enriching their lives and enhancing their work by adopting the True North method. I intend to pursue this possibility. --Wade Lee Hudson [...] Perfect Book For Those Wanting To Do A "Deep-Dive" On Personal Growth This book is perfect for those wanting to do a "deep dive" on self-awareness and personal growth. In affect, by belonging to a True North group one is developing their own advisory board on a very very intimate level. The book reveals a step-by-step methodology in how to form a group...what processes to use, pitfalls to watch out for, and other pearls of wisdom. This group process has been in use for many years---successfully so. The authors, of course, have used it themselves and swear by it. The approach is powerful and transcends most corporate development efforts I'm aware of. Belonging to a True North group, I strongly suspect, isn't for everyone. For it to work, people have to be very committed to the group and the process and be prepared to look deeply at their own under-belly. And as we know that under-belly isn't always pretty. For those familiar with Vistage meetings, a True North meeting would be more intense, much more personal in nature.

Klein Narrator: Mary Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-17 Publisher: Smart Business Books Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Too many people fail to take control of their lives, allowing themselves to fall victim and accept whatever happens. When you choose to dream and defy the naysayers all around you can change direction and accomplish nearly anything you set out to achieve. In Changing Direction, Mary Miller lays out 10 choices anyone can make to impact his or her dreams. By concentrating on improving the future, you become a new, happier and more energized person.

She explains how she later found the fortitude and support to buck conventional wisdom and change the direction of the family business she led with her third husband, Tony. To address their biggest obstacle, turnover, they began encouraging people to achieve their dreams and developed the Dream Manager program, a world-renowned initiative helping employees identify dreams, set goals and work to reach a better future. Miller explains that there are few things worse than having no control. You may feel lost. You may feel desperate. You may feel despair, but it does not have to be this way. Changing Direction weaves Miller s amazing personal story of triumph and transformation with 10 practical choices you can make today in order to move from victim to victor. To get started, all you have to do is dream. Members Reviews: Mary Miller's "Changing Direction" is and will continue to be ...

Break Through to Yes - The Collaborative Podcast Series Audiobook by David B. Savage

Savage Narrator: David B. Savage Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-17 Publisher: Savage Management Ltd. Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb Ive been asked many times, why have I done this podcast series? Why have I written Break Through to Yes: Unlocking the Possible Within a Culture of Collaboration? Why is collaboration so important? Ill tell you why. We need it. I need it. Our future needs it. Business is forced into silos and must give up to an open and agile system that better suits today's world and our shared future. We must create shared value. We must think critically. The costs of command and control leadership are getting higher. During my 42-year career in business, Ive held titles including director, president, and chief operating officer. I have seen many and repeated failures, sometimes with the cost of billions. These failures affect organizations and their capital projects and operations. When a company starts making mistakes, tries to force its agenda on others, or is in conflict with its own stakeholders, the consequences are significant. People revolt and profit margins are destroyed. Projects get delayed in regulatory and community review for extended lengths of time. Employees simply dont give their best because they do not trust the systems they work in, especially when they have little influence in the processes or programs in which they are involved. The cost to organizations can be both internal and external disengagement, rejection by regulatory bodies and governments, rejection by impacted communities, and damage to the environment. Add to that a wide range of negative human impacts including everything from depression, conflict, suicide, marital breakdown, and career paralysis to the loss of intelligence and vision of the brightest people in your business, simply because they mentally and spiritually check out when they come to work. All this means lost productivity, lost opportunities to grow and prosper, and distracted leaders and workers who no longer feel able to do good work. Leaders and organizations, however, can gain a strategic advantage by avoiding all this energy and revenue-zapping negativity simply by working together to build a culture of collaboration.
