This book had great info and thoughts however the reader came of as very monotone. It would be better with a different narrator. Outstanding Success Framework I recommend this book to anyone who wants to set a productive beat that is consistent across their organizations culture. This book is also great alongside Scaling Up by Verne Harnish. Highly recommend throughly going through The Metronome Effect and sharing the exercises with your team. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Winning-Under-Fire-Audiobook/B002UZNC6W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Walk the Walk Subtitle: The #1 Rule for Real Leaders Author: Alan Deutschman Narrator: Jim Bond Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 09-03-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Today's business landscape is mired with hypocrisy and false promises. Leaders need to practice what they preach - even if what they preach takes them into possibly uncharted and unorthodox territory. What if top executives were completely clear about their organizations' first virtues, and those virtues represented a real change from what nearly all of the business community had always practiced? Walk the Walk is a must-listen for anyone who aspires to be a leader or to understand leadership. Author Alan Deutschman explains that leaders striving to create change can rely on only two tools: what they say and how they act. But in today's skeptical world, few of us will believe what they say, especially when they're pursuing audacious goals and challenging our deep-rooted beliefs and practices. Walk the Walk shows how aspiring leaders must inspire and teach us through their own actions. Deutschman's analysis is informed by his two-decades of experience as a journalist covering the most prominent business figures of our times. He portrays dramatic and illuminating examples of leadership - not only in business but also in politics, the military, education, and social change. ©2009 Alan Deutschman; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Alan Deutschman) Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:05:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Walk-the-Walk-Audiobook/B002V8N0LA thebookvoice.com 05:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Six Important Take-Aways From Walk the Walk In Alan Deutschman's book Walk the Walk, The #1 rule for leaders he debunks the common phrase we all have heard "Do as I say, not as I do". All leaders and non leaders alike recognize the fundamental truth that individuals, families, teams, organizations and entire companies are best lead by example. As soon as your example and actions don't match your words your credibility as a leader is diminished regardless of your title. Here are six important take-aways from Walk the Walk. I. For a leader every moment is a teachable moment for the rest of the organization. II. "the most crucial role of a leader is establishing and instilling the one or two values that will be most important to the organization..." Please note Deutschman states one or two, not six or seven values. III. A lot of leaders practice lemmingship rather than leadership because their actions don't match the values the speak. IV. "The general must make himself the eyes of his own army. John Keegan" It is not enough to depend on reports or information provided by those directly working for you. You must periodically go, see and be an example at the working level. V. "Leaders must share the struggle...sharing the struggle, the risk, and the hardship..." VI. "Leadership is about creating change, so its greatest challenge comes when change seems nearly impossible - when people feel helpless and their situation appears hopeless. Even though a lot of us know the fundamental truths of leadership it is easy to slowly drift away from those truths. This book is a good refresher to remind you of sticking to the fundamental truth of leading by example. This book is worth your time because of the stories and illustrations used to drive the points home and I found it worthy enough to send copies to my clients. Dr. James T. Brown PMP PE CSP Author, The Handbook of Program Management Five Stars i love this book Very Entertaining, interesting and hit the hit the nail on the head This is a great book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Ten-Commandments-for-Business-Failure-Audiobook/B002V8KT46 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi and most recently Charlie Munger have said "man muss immer umkehren" ie "invert, always invert", and that is exactly what Don Keough has done throughout this book. The solution usually lays within the problem and Don has stated 10 principles (actually 11)that are non negotiable in securing your business's (and more importantly life's) failure, all you have to do is follow them to fail.....or just invert and you WILL succeed! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Retellable-Audiobook/B06XG3Y53G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Leadership Subtitle: Management Skills, Social Skills, Communication Skills - All the Skills You'll Need Author: George Baisley Narrator: Paul Henry Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: George Baisley Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leadership is a term that people perceive very differently. Most think of CEOs, managers and coaches and while that is of course true, it is much more than that. A leader is a person who goes in front of new projects, ideas or trends, and who can direct others towards a common goal. It doesn't even have to be on a big scale. Remember that teacher who sparked your interest in mathematics or literature? Or your father who motivated you to do your homework when it was difficult? Leaders can be found everywhere in society, and you don't need a big title to become one. Sometimes you will even have to be a leader without being told to be one. Many employees today are assigned more and more tasks and responsibilities at their workplace without that big promotion to go with it.

Title: Leadership Subtitle: Management Skills, Social Skills, Communication Skills - All the Skills You'll Need Author: George Baisley Narrator: Paul Henry Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: George Baisley Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leadership is a term that people perceive very differently. Most think of CEOs, managers and coaches and while that is of course true, it is much more than that. A leader is a person who goes in front of new projects, ideas or trends, and who can direct others towards a common goal. It doesn't even have to be on a big scale. Remember that teacher who sparked your interest in mathematics or literature? Or your father who motivated you to do your homework when it was difficult? Leaders can be found everywhere in society, and you don't need a big title to become one. Sometimes you will even have to be a leader without being told to be one. Many employees today are assigned more and more tasks and responsibilities at their workplace without that big promotion to go with it.

Members Reviews: It is full of grammar and punctuation errors. This book reveals some insight and helpful information but is disorganized and lacking in form. There are intermittently placed blank pages that make the book seem longer than it is. Perhaps, the purpose for this is more apparent in the Kindle version. I ordered the paperback version. It is full of grammar and punctuation errors which make it difficult to follow naturally. There are so many books available on management and leadership to choose from that have been properly edited. This book was very short so it could be used as an introduction or addition to other works but not as a definitive source, thus in any other case I would not recommend it. recommended Leadership skills are important no matter what kind of person you are and what business you are in. It helps in the relationship, in winning friends, in everyday routine... Your life is better if you have the right social skills and if you know what you want from your life. This book provides some awesome tips how to become a leader and explains why you need it. Very nice book that I will certainly recommend. Great book for learning the art of Leadership Great book for all Leaders or those wanting to become a leader. The teachings in this book can be applied to business or non business goals, as a Leader is essential to direct a team of people to achieve any dream: sport, business, political etc. I like the fact that the author speaks of the different styles of leaders, such as: the pacesetting leader, the authoritative leader, the coaching leader etc. You begin to realize that becoming a leader is an art in itself, and there are many different styles you will have to learn in order to become influential. I'll end my review with my favorite quote from this book: "If you are stuck, make a move. Any move. Do something that scares you. Take a risk. Experiment." Become a Leader Iâve recently became a manager of a team and when I found this book, I knew I had to buy it. Leadership is a skill. Itâs a lot of hard work, commitment and responsibility. This book contains the step-by-step of how to become a leader and how to improve your skills and acquire new skills. I discovered how to approach a new leadership role, how to act like a leader, redefine my network and more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Simple-Audiobook/B00BW6RPNQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I can't think of a particular audience who would enjoy this book. One of the problems was that it was scattered and unfocused and pardon my pun, simplistic.It seems like there are the beginnings of two or three good books contained in the ideas of this book. However, the authors need to decide to focus and develop these. Would you ever listen to anything by Alan Siegel and Irene Etzkorn again? Probably not, there really wasn't a whole lot of meaningful content in this book, it seemed like the authors were just trying to capitalize on a fad. What didnt you like about Fleet Coopers performance? He did this weird thing whenever he was quoting another person. He would take on this creepy voice almost like Jack Donaughy's nemesis in 30 rock. What character would you cut from Simple? I would probably start with the narrator. Any additional comments? Yes, save your credit and skip this one. There's a ton of great information on simplicity on the web. This book has neither depth nor breath and therefore offers nothing above and beyond what you can find with a simple Google search. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Money-Makes-Me-Crazy-Audiobook/B074G49H7K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: SHORT ON SUBSTANCE What disappointed you about Money Makes Me Crazy? Perhaps I should have started with the original book by Ted...as this is a book based on a pre existing book. It's a really slow read. There's no real usable advice at all, just a lot of pointless guff about the author, but none of it helpful or applicable to ones own life. Most of the time I was just so confused and annoyed by the banality. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Annoyed Any additional comments? If you're struggling with your finances don't waste money buying this!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-W-Chan-Kim-Renee-Mauborgne-Blue-Ocean-Strategy-Reader-Audiobook/B06WD4YQCN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Power Ambition Glory Subtitle: The Stunning Parallels Between Great Leaders of the Ancient World and Today...and the Lessons You Can Learn Author: Steve Forbes, John Prevas Narrator: Alan Sklar Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-09-09 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Great leaders not only have vision but know how to build structures to effect it. Cyrus the Great did so in creating an empire based on tolerance and inclusion, an approach highly unusual for his or any age. Jack Welch and John Chambers built their business empires using a similar approach, and like Cyrus, they remain the exceptions rather than the rule. Great leaders know how to build consensus and motivate by doing what is right rather than what is in their self-interest. Xenophon put personal gain aside to lead his fellow Greeks out of a perilous situation in Persia---something very similar to what Lou Gerstner and Anne Mulcahy did in rescuing IBM and Xerox. Character matters in leadership. Alexander the Great had exceptional leadership skills that enabled him to conquer the eastern half of the ancient world, but he was ultimately destroyed by his inability to manage his phenomenal success. The corporate world is full of similar examples, such as the now incarcerated Dennis Kozlowski, who, flush with success at the head of his empire, was driven down the highway of self-destruction by an out-of-control ego. ---A great leader is one who challenges the conventional wisdom of the day and is able to think outside the box to pull off amazing feats. Hannibal did something no one in the ancient world thought possible: he crossed the Alps in winter to challenge Rome for control of the ancient world. That same innovative way of thinking enabled Serge Brin and Larry Page of Google to challenge and best two formidable competitors, Microsoft and Yahoo! Editorial Reviews: The CEO of Forbes Media and a Classics Professor come together to draw common lessons from great leaders of ancient and modern times in Power Ambition Glory. Given a muscular, booming reading by Alan Sklar, Steve Forbes and John Prevas look at the lives of classical figures like Hannibal and Alexander the Great compare their management styles to those of the CEOs of Walmart and Hewlett Packard. Great leaders in both eras, the authors observe, unite diverse factions and look beyond their own egos to achieve their goals. Sklars deep voice and assertive reading personify the alpha-male tactics that this book extols.

(Donald Trump) Members Reviews: Historical Anecdotes As an admirer of Steve Forbes with an interest in leadership I gravitated to this book and I was not disappointed. The strength of this book does not come from insights into leadership, per se. Rather, the book informs us about ancient leaders and the situations they encountered. Those incidents and stories are juxtaposed with the experiences of contemporary industrial titans. Parallels are drawn and generalizations presented. The book was well written, thoughtfully organized, and read. It is worth your time. I have two observations about the book. First, in the first quarter of the book the reader pauses between (it seems) every paragraph read. That was a bit distracting for me personally. However, that changes later and the problem goes away. Second, the book seems like two books - one on ancient leadership and one on contemporary leadership. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Let-Go-to-Grow-Audiobook/B00NMO00F6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Let Go to Grow Subtitle: Why Some Businesses Thrive and Others Fail to Reach Their Potential Author: Polly White, Doug White Narrator: Polly White, Doug White Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-14 Publisher: Palari Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Why do some businesses thrive, while others flounder - unable to reach the next level? Let Go to Grow shows that the difference lies in how well the principal (i.e., the leader, the owner, the entrepreneur) is able to let go of daily responsibilities and delegate tasks to trusted employees and managers. Using real-life examples, Let Go to Grow illustrates how the principal's skill-set must change to allow the business to prosper. But, it goes beyond simply spelling out what needs to be done; the audiobook explains how to do it in clear, concise, and practical terms. Let Go to Grow is a must-listen that helps principals transition their businesses into growing and thriving enterprises. Members Reviews: Wise, practical advice for anyone growing a business I just finished Let Go to Grow by Doug and Polly White, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone involved in growing a business. I was struck by how closely their stories and advice match my experience in growing a business. I helped start a management and IT consulting firm as one of the first employees and grew along with the firm to become a partner and Chief Operating Officer. As the firm grew from a handful of people to nearly 100, we experienced many of the growing pains that Doug and Polly describe--the difficultly for founders to let go, empower others, and delegate effectively and the need for additional structure and management practices. I believe that many founders can manage the shift from small to medium sized company successfully. However, nearly everyone needs help in the form of books such as these and even coaches and consultants who can help with the transition. I agree with nearly all of Doug and Polly's recommendations. They describe many things I learned the hard way. I only wish I had come across their book years ago. It's a must-read for anyone growing a business who'd like to work smart as well as work hard and have fun on the journey. Deep Research, Powerful Logic From hiring to analytics, Doug and Polly have identified the most problematic challenges for growth, and provide an excellent roadmap to create and maintain a competitive advantage. Their real-world cases also help business owners to identify with each issue from hiring to motivation to change management. Their clear understanding and communication of our human-driven systems provides perfect guidance to act, interact, or get out of the way. Great reading Things I read I can use the same day.I straight up book a must read if you want to grow, but you have to change . An Essential Read For All Businesses In harsh economic times such as these, it benefits any company to take a look at itself. What are businesses doing right, wrong, or not at all? What allows one company to stay afloat while another hits rock bottom? `Let Go to Grow' takes a fresh look at these questions & provides logical steps to answer them. Written clearly & concisely, The Whites provide a yellow brick road to success. At many times throughout this book, I thought back to my days of retail management, and wondered why I was never given these tools. Many business decisions I made would have drastically benefitted from their advice. The book is divided into four parts. Each part deals with different aspects. It's quite obvious from page one, that The Whites have done quite a lot of research. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Tough-Truths-Audiobook/B01JY0QSOI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

They create fine leaders. But what makes leaders truly great is a whole different story. One that will be revealed to you in Tough Truths. The reason the lessons are truths is because they're proven to make people great. The reason they are tough is because they make us uncomfortable...take us out of our comfort zone.

Always Growing tackles a common leadership challenge: How to successfully motivate, develop, and empower a diverse group of people to work together and achieve remarkable results. David has risked so much. Accepting his first leadership role at Trendex has meant uprooting his family and leaving behind a comfortable and secure position. The only upside may be that he is moving back to the place he called home as a boy - a place where his sister, Kelly, still resides and operates a thriving garden center. David quickly realizes that he is in trouble. He has taken responsibility for a division that is destined for the chopping block if he doesn't soon figure out how to motivate his employees, prioritize their work, and unify them as a team. Sharing his concerns with Kelly leads to a very interesting revelation... Can Kelly's proven method for growing plants show him the way to grow his team?

Jones writes in a way that's easy to quickly translate to your own situation. I was able to take his concepts of growing, cultivating, pruning and harvesting and apply them to the new team I lead. I've definitely seen a difference in the results! This was not my first nor last Jones Loflin book! I can't wait to see what he comes out with next! Lead like a Gardener I read several books in 2017 and this is one of the best books I read. It is great for business leaders, pastors, and individuals looking to grow in multiple areas. After reading this book, it helped me to lead more like a gardener and help myself/others grow. I highly recommend it. Refreshing read that is applicable to a variety of team environments! What a refreshing read! So many leadership books are dry and use banal concepts making the reader plod through to finally reach the end. But not this book! Using an analogy that we can all relate to, Jones paint's an intelligible gardening picture and applies it to cultivating both a healthy team and a healthy working environment. Always Growing provides easy-to-grasp ideas and suggestions to help both new AND established leaders improve their team dynamics which, in turn, improves the overall results of the teamâs efforts. Always Growing shows us how to lead our team in working together toward a higher standard - whether it be our work team, our volunteer team, or even our very own family. A great book for everyone-- practical tips no matter whether you identify with the title "leader" or not! After reading the book Iâve been thinking a lot about how applicable it was to just about anyoneâwhether you identify with the title âleaderâ or not. At minimum, we are all ultimately leaders of our own lives. I started jotting down some quotes from the book, and filled a page! I am definitely printing out âYou are always a gardener. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Talent-Unleashed-Audiobook/B06XHDVG4L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"The vast majority of the workforce in any organization possesses far more talent, intelligence, capability, and creativity than their present jobs require or even allow." - Dr. Stephen R. Covey That's what Talent Unleashed is about - unleashing that unlimited store of potential in people. That's a leader's job. And how does a leader do that job? Through 3 Leadership Conversations - not just individual events, but ongoing discussions designed to help people give the best they can. In these conversations, leaders trade fear for trust, confusion for clarity, and micromanaging for empowerment. The three vital leadership conversations are: Performance Conversations define roles and set clear goals. Leaders hold people accountable for these roles and goals, thus transforming team members from "managed hirelings" to "trusted partners and teammates." Voice Conversations affirm the worth and potential of each person on a team. Leaders help individuals discover their unique gifts, talents, and abilities and align these gifts, talents, and abilities to the great mission of the organization. It is the process that ignites the inner fire. Clear the Path Conversations turn supervisors into leaders who become sources of help and empower people to succeed in their jobs. Leaders help clear away the obstacles from the success pathway. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Shawn D.

The practicality of using key timeless principles around maximizing an organization's key resource, it's people, while playing a key role in helping those who you lead become the future leaders of your firm should hit home with all readers.

Talent Unleashed Fantastic book! Well-written and clearly based on years of collective experience from its authors. Such valuable principles--and personal stories--that provide a perfect "how to" for maximizing the abilities and talents of people in your organization.

Visionary Business is a fable of a young man who's just started a business and found "Yoda-like" mentor/investor who guides him along the start-up path with sound advice on creating a business that means something. There's a lot of good, sound business advice here and it's presented story form, based on a medley of real people and events. The reader is good, too! Check it out! an entrepreneur's This is an excellent resource to inspire and remotivate any entrepreneur. Filled with precious "ah-hah" moments to give you clarity of purpose and put you back on track. I highly recommend this book for business owners who are committed to ethical business and making a difference. Very bad sound quality and narration The content of the book is not as much informative as it is entertaining and perhaps a bit inspiring. However there is a lack of concrete information if you are seriously looking to startup a business. not a lot new here especially if you have any grounding in metaphysics. Also, the narrator has a slight speech impediment which was irritating to me. Emyth Revisited A synopsis of Emyth, with metaphysics thrown in for good measure. Suggest sticking to the Gerber original. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Journey-of-Not-Knowing-Audiobook/B075RJFJHL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Journey of Not Knowing Subtitle: How 21st Century Leaders Can Chart a Course Where There Is None Author: Julie Benezet Narrator: Karen White Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The Journey of Not Knowing is a fast-paced, entertaining book that gets to the heart of a critical state in today's business climate and society overall: the constantly changing, ambiguous 21st century and the uncharted waters ahead. This book will inspire leaders of any size organization to come to grips with the scariness of the unknown while it advances a new approach to leadership that leverages the discomfort of the new as a powerful source of inspiration rather than a deterrent to building a better future. Written by former Amazon executive, coach, and lawyer, Julie Benezet, the book combines storytelling, business experience, and human psychology to create a roadmap through the ambiguity of building something better in the context of the realities of humans in organizational life. The book tells a story of a day in the life at Arrow, Inc., a fictional company. It follows the defended behaviors throughout that day of its eight very recognizable leadership team members as they work first to avoid and then finally to solve the mystery of why a client fired them. The reward of the discovery is a critical piece of new business and substantial personal growth. To get there, each of the team members must face their past, present, and future. The memorable characters in the book are persons with whom the listeners may cringingly identify. The book creates a framework for them to confront their own resistance to change, and tools to start them on their way toward pursuing new possibilities for their lives once they can confront and embrace the scariness of the unknown. The author opens the book with a description of an experience at Amazon that led to her belief about leadership and the unknown. It ends with a primer on the Journey of Not Knowing leadership model, using the Arrow story to illustrate its principles. The Journey of Not Knowing forms the core of a leadership program that been attended by executives from around the world over the past five years. Critic Reviews: "Ms. Benezet's background in psychology, anthropology, the law, and her business experience coalesce into a single, multidimensional book that also shows off her gift of storytelling.... What I found was a remarkable compendium of basic truths about working within complex organizations."

The book creates a framework for them to confront their own resistance to change, and tools to start them on their way toward pursuing new possibilities for their lives once they can confront and embrace the scariness of the unknown. The author opens the book with a description of an experience at Amazon that led to her belief about leadership and the unknown. It ends with a primer on the Journey of Not Knowing leadership model, using the Arrow story to illustrate its principles. The Journey of Not Knowing forms the core of a leadership program that been attended by executives from around the world over the past five years. Critic Reviews: "Ms. Benezet's background in psychology, anthropology, the law, and her business experience coalesce into a single, multidimensional book that also shows off her gift of storytelling.... What I found was a remarkable compendium of basic truths about working within complex organizations." ( Midwest Book Review) Members Reviews: Title is Much Better Than Book This former Amazon employees story really shows no meaningful insights about the company or the human condition. I found it insipid and pointless. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fearless-Growth-Audiobook/B076PPTZTL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Practical insights for strategic leadership in a changing world So you want to be fearless at growing your company? Great. Here's a book on how to do it. Amanda Setili's broad and deep experience advising top executives on growth and agility forms a strong foundation for this book. The rules outlined (there are seven) are fantastic and intuitive. And, the artful use of examples from companies we all know brings the rules to life in a way that is entertaining and practical. The world is changing, and Fearless Growth provides a few rules for how to stay ahead of the change. Concepts like (Rule 1) embracing uncertainty and (Rule 2) getting in sync with customers sound simple, and Amanda keeps them simple, but allows the book to go into depth in a way that is practical and insightful. Highly recommended. Solid and Relevant A very solid, pragmatic guide for addressing the variety of big challenges companies are facing these days. Setili has solid experience (HBS grad and former McKinsey consultant), and runs her own consulting firm that's attracted impressive clients. She draws on those client experiences plus other firms in a variety of industries. Her writing style is clear and blessedly free of jargon. What's not to like? I'm viewing this as a solid reference I'll return to a lot, for insights into the challenges my own clients are struggling with. (Did I just say "solid" again?!). A definite "recommend." Setili tackles the largely unspoken issue that stifles growth: ... Setili tackles the largely unspoken issue that stifles growth: fear. Setili show leaders how to be successful in a marketplace where change is a constant. Her examples ring true to someone who has been side by side with leaders helping them innovate and grow in the face of stiff competition. As consultant myself, who runs a business and works with leaders, I found it refreshing to read about the failures AND the successes. Chapter 5, Open the Floodgates of Employee Creativity is worth the price alone. Are you ready to embrace a growth mindset? Are you ready to embrace a growth mindset? Setili shares keen insights from years of experience as a top strategist to world class companies achieving fearless growth. Seven well thought out and clearly articulated rules are provided for bringing fearless growth to your company. Each rule has a chapter full of good examples, charts, exhibits, ideas and actionable items for understanding and developing that rule. Combined, these rules and actions can launch you on the road to implementing long term strategic growth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Step-Up-Audiobook/B00KI0ZNUY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Finally someone takes a new look at Emotional Intelligence! Henry Evans and Colm Foster did an excellent job providing a new and unique look at how leaders should react in critical moments. As an executive who is known for being a "hard charger" and very driven, most books or experts on leadership focus on how to eliminate these traits so that they don't show up as anger or you becoming too forceful. I always felt inauthentic in trying to change who I am at my core and Step Up was the first attempt I have seen that takes a different look and shows practical steps in making sure your "angry but not stupid" and also suggest some tangible steps to take and capitalize on this as well as other emotions. My congratulations to Mr. Evans and Foster on an excellent perspective! Leadership moments tell a lot about you Very practical And clear examples of leadership moments that make a difference. I gave a copy to each person in a leadership workshop. Leadership is essentially about behavior and choices and this books pinpoints scenarios we all face daily. It provides teaching points and useful coaching for the person who wants to improve his or her skill as a leader. Inspirational A great read!

Members Reviews: So poorly written, very hard to listen to What would have made Coaching: 2 Manuscripts better? If it was written by someone with a firm grasp of the English language. Would you ever listen to anything by Randy Wayne again? Never. Ever. For any amount of money. Which character as performed by Kevin Theis was your favorite? Not applicable. What character would you cut from Coaching: 2 Manuscripts? Randy Wayne. Any additional comments? This was so poorly written it was impossible to finish listening. Example: "Coaching is basically like what it is." No joke, that's a direct quote. And after 20 minutes he was still explaining what a coach was. I think if we're buying the book, we know the basic concept of what a coach is. You don't need to explain a fitness coach coaches people to reach their fitness goals, etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-Audiobook/B01LZKOPMQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In Trees on Mars: Our Obsession with the Future, cultural critic and indie entrepreneur Hal Niedzviecki asks how and when we started believing we could and should "create the future". What is it like to live in a society utterly focused on what is going to happen next?

Yogi Berra This was a well researched, documented and depressing read into the many faceted gem stone we humans have built for ourselves. Polished and glistening with reflected promises of robotics and artificial intelligence. Of course there are tragic flaws in this man made perfect jewel. Shades of big brother lurk in it's Orwellian luster, and shadows of Brave New World echo from the dystopian depths of what we humans have wrought. We have become just another 'Brick In The Wall.' We are the future now, far out beyond the point of no-return as prophesied in '70's by Joni Mitchel's in "Big Yellow Taxi: They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's goneâ " "When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money." Cree Prophecy The author offers no pat solutions to change rampant thrust of our declining spiritual worthiness for human life. A five star depressingly honest read for me.. Are you pedalling faster but getting nowhere? This is a great, albeit pessimistic book. I heard Hal Niedzviecki interviewed on To the Best of Our Knowledge from Wisconsin Public Radio, and ordered Trees On Mars immediately. In it, he gives us a lot to think about. He argues that our quality of life is declining despite Moore's Law and all its consequences, as well as the frantic pace of so many of our lives. Despite our material abundance, many of us sense that we have lost the thread of living in a civilized way. Many businesses seem to operate as rackets. Narcissism is rampant. I finished the book while taking my wife to a Podiatrist appointment at the University Sports Medicine Clinic, and did the book ever resonate! Despite having been seen at the clinic 6 months earlier, they couldn't find my wife in their computer system ("We changed databases recently"). The printer connected to the computer connected to the X-ray machine was broken. Later in the visit we met with their orthotic/shoe expert, who told us that NONE of the major shoe manufacturers does any quality control anymore, so much of their inventory is garbage. He spends a lot of his time grinding down the heels of patients' new shoes so they make a reasonably square contact with the ground. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-AskGaryVee-By-Gary-Vaynerchuk-Includes-Analysis-Audiobook/B01G9CM91A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a Summary and Analysis about "#AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness," by New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk. This is your essential guide to making things happen in a big way whether youâre planning to start your own company, working in digital media, or have landed your first job in a traditional company. This summary book provides the reader information on the overview of the book, important people, key takeaways, and analysis of key takeaways. The 8 key takeaways explore the most important aspects of building a company. He distills and expands on the showâs most urgent and evergreen themesâincluding marketing, entrepreneurship, and managementâwith his trademark practical, timely, and timeless advice. He even gets personal by sharing new stories and lessons learned from years of working in a family business, raising children, getting healthy, and just being GaryVee. This is a good quick read specially for those who don't want to dive in straight into reading all 384 pages of the original book. It will help you with your decision making whether or not to purchase the original book. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review. Not As Entertaining As Gary Vaynerchuk's #AskGaryVee I'm torn, on one hand this Instaread does a good job of distilling down the concepts from #AskGaryVee the problem though is the concepts are pretty simple and not all that engaging when divorced from the panache of Gary Vaynerchuk. And perhaps, seeing the advice from his book so succinctly delivered it's easy to see that the appeal of Gary Vee isn't just his advice (which is generally solid and mirrors hisJab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World) but the style he delivers is. Gary Vaynerchuk is as much an entertainer as he is a business advisor, and stripped away from that style the concepts seem kinda dull and simple. Instaread provided a discounted copy for review, but that didn't impact my review or rating in any way. A guide to your social media presence Gary Vaynerchuk is an internet personality who dominates at profitization of his social media influence. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leading-for-Success-in-the-21st-Century-Audiobook/B0046HIZ5U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Audio Thanks Tom for the great Audio. I look forward to listening at least a few more times this week. It is encouraging and educational. I learned a new term that struck me funny - screenagers. What a hoot - and a sorrow at the same time. But we still need to know how to reach them and how to help them to help others and themselves.

This might have been an interesting book to read in print but it made for a very boring audiobook. If you are looking for anything that will shed insight onto how to be a good leader this is not the book for you. I only made it halfway through book one, so it might have ended differently, but the book was more like a historical accounting than anything else. You might like it if you like to hear stories of battles or military campaigns ... Jared This is basically just a series of short biographies. I bought it hoping for a study on effective leadership and, although there is some useful information, I would have been better off reading an abridged version of 5 great leaders bio/autobio. This is more heresay and conjecture about why a handful of great leaders were great than a real analysis of what great leadership requires. Would recommend Dale Carnegies "How to win friends and influence people" much more strongly. Good, but... Not as good as I'd like. Too much on political-type leadership while I was looking for more combat-oriented leadership. Some points are valid for both, but political leadership has many applications at higher levels (organizational) of the military, not necessarily down in the trenches (tactical~direct). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Persuadable-Audiobook/B0176VT9WK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm a sucker for books with great stories and this is one of them. I don't know that there is anything different in the book if you've read Cialdini or the Heath brothers except a bunch of new stories. As a guy who thought it was his duty to try to be right most of his life this book has reinforced my "older age" belief that minds were made to be changed when presented with new information - and that's ok. Enjoyed it. Wish I had read it when I was 20...would have saved myself a lot of arguments. excellent and inspiring !!! thoughts provoking !!! new surprising concepts, food for thoughts, intriguing ideas, valuable, enjoyable and usefull. thank you ! Must read for leaders, entrepreneurs and investors. Where does Persuadable rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's among the top ones I've read. What other book might you compare Persuadable to and why? The stories shared remind me of Malcom Gladwell, Daniel Pink and Simon Sinek books. Good Read It's refreshing to hear the topic of persuasion related to so many recent events... Making the story feel relatable and current. Good Read Al!!! Cracking book on leadership - highly recommend! 'Persuadable' is a book every management consultant, coach and leadership consultant (and leader!) should have in their armoury. Pittampalli writes smoothly and effectively, peppering his text with practical insights and useful examples drawn from numerous different sectors of the economy, and using research to illustrate - often surprisingly - his conclusions. Definitely the most productive 7 hours or so I have spent in some time, and I have recommended it directly to clients and contacts alike. If I have one micro-criticism, it is in Pittampalli's choice to read his work himself, which seems to be a compulsion among US authors in particular. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Getting-Digital-Marketing-Right-Audiobook/B00UAY5JS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Bradley Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: You need your business to grow and meet its goals over the next 12 months. You may have tried different marketing and sales tactics and met with different consultants, agencies, and potential hires. Still, there's still no clear answer. How can you maximize your return and meet your business goals, all while on a limited budget? If we had a corporate level, multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, this might be easy. But we aren't in that position. It takes just two things for powerful marketing. First of all you need to know how to turn your digital presence into something useful, like leads or customers. To do this you need a digital sales funnel in place from top to bottom. These are the six stages of the digital sales funnel: Stage one: generate demand Stage two: capture quality leads Stage three: nurture leads Stage four: convert leads into customers Stage five: close, deliver, and satisfy Stage six: referrals and follow-up But that alone doesn't mean much unless there's a clear purpose. To have a purpose, we need a strategy. Learn to Develop a Strategy with Five Steps: 1. Where are you today? 2. Finding your ideal 3. Mapping out your plan 4. Getting your hands dirty 5. Recap and review Have you noticed we didn't say you have to know how to do popular digital-marketing tactics? Search-engine optimization has backlinks to build and keywords to optimize for. Email lists have to be set up, connected to your website, and segmented based on the audience. Your website...well, that might need to be coded from the ground up again. But we aren't going to worry about that. It isn't our job to know how to build a website or do SEO or any of that. It's our job to set a strategy to decide what we need or don't need and have others deliver the technical work. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (David J.

Bradley Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: You need your business to grow and meet its goals over the next 12 months. You may have tried different marketing and sales tactics and met with different consultants, agencies, and potential hires. Still, there's still no clear answer. How can you maximize your return and meet your business goals, all while on a limited budget? If we had a corporate level, multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, this might be easy. But we aren't in that position. It takes just two things for powerful marketing. First of all you need to know how to turn your digital presence into something useful, like leads or customers. To do this you need a digital sales funnel in place from top to bottom.

Members Reviews: Amazing, Simple and to the point Would you consider the audio edition of Getting Digital Marketing Right to be better than the print version? I think the print version will allow better use a handbook What was one of the most memorable moments of Getting Digital Marketing Right? The 20/80 rule and the exercises Bradley has readers do while reading Any additional comments? This book is very hands on and straight to the point. Do you need digital marketing? YES, every successful business does. This book will get you there GREAT book, a little boring to listen to What did you love best about Getting Digital Marketing Right? This has some of the best, packed information on digital marketing of any book I have listened to. It sounds a little boring to listen to at first, but I have not listened to a more compact, potent digital marketing book and can't recommend it enough. Not only did I listen to it twice, but I bought a version for another team member as well who has loved it. What do you think the narrator could have done better? A little more dynamic as a speaker would be good, but the information is delivered fine if you get used to the delivery Great Resource - Not so great Narration There is a lot of great information here. Complex things made simple and packed with excellent perspective and insights. I just wish the author had hired someone to do the narration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Perfect-Mix-Audiobook/B0719KPSW4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: too true as a leader I found the book to be insightful and inspirational. A great read! A perfect mix of leadership and life experience! I was very impressed with Helen Rothberg's book, "The Perfect Mix: Everything I Know About Leadership I Learned as a Bartender". Each chapter begins with a story from Ms. Rothberg;s bartending career, illustrating important lessons of leadership--action, determination, vision, integrity, communication, empathy, and authenticity and follows it with a later example from her life as a management consultant. The stories are very well told with lessons very well illustrated. It was a very inspirational journey into leadership well worth exploring. Listen to it and enjoy--Cheers! Pleasant and short read Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Sure. What did you like best about this story? Interesting and cheerful read. Not much new advice to offer though. What does Candace Thaxton bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She did a fine job. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not just average mistakes, but a lot of really bad, terrible, misguided, arrogant, immature, and inexperienced mistakes. The kind you learn from immediately. There's a saying that goes, "Experience is the best kind of teacher." I am here to tell you that experience is the worst kind of teacher. Experience as a teacher brings nothing but heartache, frustration, difficulties, shame, and embarrassment. Looking back on my career honestly and truthfully, I wish I would have avoided all of these mistakes, taking instead the wise advice of those around me, implementing the suggestions I was given over the years, and not being as stubborn. But you live and learn. Fortunately, I did figure things out, and I hope you can learn a few important lessons from my ups and downs over the years: We're not rewarded when we do the right thing at the wrong time.

Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Jim Collins's Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't includes: Preview: In Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't, Jim Collins posits that most American entities (from the federal government and multinational corporations all the way down to individuals) are hindered by being good, and thus not rising to being great. "That good is the enemy of great is not just a business problem," he writes. "It is a human problem". As such, the question naturally arises: Can a good enough government, company, organization, or person become a great one? If so, is there a discrete methodology that might consistently yield a transformation form good to great? "Or is the disease of 'just being good' incurable?" To answer this question, Collins and his team executed a massive research project (spanning five years and totaling a combined 15,000 hours of research for its 21-person team). Rather than beginning with a hypothesis and drilling down for confirmation or falsification, Collins and his team started by collecting, coding, and analyzing raw data and existing writing and research. From there they worked their way up to a set of core practices among organizations that move from good to great, ultimately working up a linear roadmap any organization can follow to make such a transformation. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Start Publishing Notes) Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:50:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Jim-Collinss-Good-to-Great-Audiobook/B072MQGK1C thebookvoice.com 00:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His respect for the environment, responsibility to his community, avoidance of chemicals, and a humanistic approach to his employees will provide inspiration and guidance for executives and managers attempting to build or sustain a modern and healthy organization, while creating value. ©2003 Paul Dolan; (P)2003 Blackstone Audiobooks Members Reviews: Sustainability is a Paul Dolan and Fetzer Vineyards have set the pace in the wine industry for environmentally-friendly business practices. As their experience shows, and as my own personal experience can attest to, sustainability is much easier to accomplish than those who have not even tried can know. Not only that, but there is a particular power that comes into play when employees begin to see a sense of integrity and mission in what they do. This is a process, and Paul Dolan describes it colorfully, personally, and engagingly. This was an inspiring listen, and should be a must-read on every business title list. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Introduction-to-Lean-Planning-Audiobook/B01B24CJ7E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Read most of Christensen his work and thought this might add to it but one of first audio books in many years I did not even finish. May be OK to read but not to listen to. What could Evans Baiya PhD and Ron Price have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Read out less lists and get professional narator. What didnt you like about Ron Price and Evans Baiya s performance? Typical case when authors do not necessarily make good narrators for not good to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/New-School-Leadership-Making-a-Difference-in-the-21st-Century-Audiobook/B00NFXKW5M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Abrams Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The need for and demands on leadership have changed radically in the past few years. To be a dynamic and effective leader of a 21st-century organization or corporation requires an entirely different strategy and set of skills than it did just five or ten years ago. In fact, much of the best advice and examples from even the last decade no longer apply. This audiobook looks at fundamental ways to become and remain the most effective leader possible, given the current institutional and corporate landscape. It hopes to ensure that we have inspiring and visionary leaders at the heads of our organizations, divisions, and institutions.

Members Reviews: An Exciting New Leadership Model, Well Explained One of the core principles in the New School Leadership theory is that of teams, rather than individuals being responsible for success. Success of any institution: corporation, school or even family. That premise, along with empowerment and a concrete model for change, is what binds this thought-provoking and extremely useful guide together. The guide starts by contrasting the landscape of todayâs institutions with those of the past, and makes a cogent argument that leadership principles that may have worked or been in vogue 10 or 20 years ago are not sufficient today. It then systematically explains the New School Leadership model, which has 10 core values, including diversity, relationship management, inclusion, the lifelong learner concept, and empathy. All 10 are people-focused as well as results oriented. Also covered are âmust haveâ attributes like passion, vision, sense of purpose and communication, with explanations of how these attributes look in real life and how they contribute to the overall model. Throughout the book are âLeadership Spotlightâ chapters that highlight actual leaders, from Jeff Bezos to Oprah Winfrey. Using quotations, scenarios and illustrations from these leadersâ careers, the author explains how the tenets of New School Leadership have been used by successful leaders. These concrete, real life examples were particularly helpful in translating the theoretical to the tangible. This is a wonderful new way of looking at leadership, and the guide does an excellent job of clearly explaining the model and how to put it into use. A truly worthwhile book. Good writing New-School Leadership is not one in the long list of leadership books containing universal and simplistic formulas to learn, master, and follow for success. In this book, D.A. Abrams looks at fundamental ways to become and remain the most effective leader possible, given the current corporate and institutional landscape early on in this century. The New-School Leadership model outlined in the book attempts to ensure that the readers have inspiring and visionary leaders at the heads of their departments, divisions, and organizations. In each case the reader can be any of the aforementioned. After reading this book, I felt empowered and equipped to do what is needed to lead in todayâs enterprise with passion, and purpose. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Re-imagine-Audiobook/B002V5BCPE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "In no small part, what American corporations have become is what Peters has encouraged them to be." (The New Yorker) Members Reviews: Dead-on and Relevant Tom Peters, far from the typical rah-rah business advice guru, is both grounded and passionate, practical and visionary. The segments on leadership, globalization, and personal service were solid on target. And he did a great job reading his book. Interesting Ideas I like Tom Peter's view on modern business. However, I was a little surprised by how monotone his voice was for his own book. The printed edition has technicolor all over the place, but the audio version seems black-and-white. If it wasn't for Tom's message, I would have given it only two stars. Pay attention Tom captures what most people leave out- passion, vision, and execution. In today's times the typical business has changed. Things are constantly changing. That is why I really enjoyed reading this book, and you should read it too. Get the book, Its worth the dough! I think the research is definitely a bit off and a lot of the substance is reprocessed from other popular books and thought leaders and presented in an opinionated and at times arrogant demeanor. Also bothersome is the ambiguous references to personal meetings and sources i.e ?WAGs? that many futuristic predictions are derived from. I point this out to support comments in other negative reviews about less than accurate research and borderline arrogance. Yes you will find that in this book. I read the negative reviews before I bought the book and can honestly say it is worth it! Folks this is an opinionated lecture from one of the country?s top 20 if not the top 10 thought leaders, it?s not a research paper. Arrogant by his own admission, he pokes and prods the entrenched corporate mentality that is instilled in many of us, daring us to reinvent, redefine, recreate, rejuvenate and in short reimagine. You will not find any blueprints or flowcharts to follow his prescriptions but you will find excellent examples of where the leadership mentality should be (from the leadership mindset, mind you) and a few best practices. He is right on the money on his observations on the future of middle management, the state of education and the potential of the businesswoman and baby boomer market. If you are a part of any government body, any rigidly structured company structure or culture or if you are a purveyor of a mundane product or service then you will not like this book. I think, if you are in marketing, part of a creative team, responsible for managing a group of people or if you are a student you will identify with his observations and see his predictions around the corner. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/When-Fish-Fly-Audiobook/B002V0POM6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win | Summary Author: Summary Station Narrator: Michelle Murillo Format: Unabridged Length: 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-16 Publisher: Summary Station Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Learn about how to lead people from a Navy SEAL's perspective in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to the actual book! This is a book for anyone wanting to learn to be a better leader. While it does contain stories of wartime, it is about what Jocko and Leif learned that led them to victory. A way to construct, educate, and motivate your teams to accomplish the goals you have set forth. Most leadership books focus on the individual; even corporate training programs seem to follow the same guidelines. But to have strong leadership, you need to have a strong team. There will come a time when a leader and his or her team fails; it is a fact of life. Mistakes happen, but we can learn from them and become better from having gone through them. When everything seems to be up in the air and you've got a lot of balls that you are juggling, you have to remember to relax, look around, and make a call. This may not be a war your company is engaging in, but you still need to decide what is most important out of all you've got going on and make a decision about that one thing. Great leadership is the reason behind the success of any team, and that isn't just the senior leaders but the junior leaders as well. It takes everyone doing his or her part to make it a success. The best leaders don't care about the tiny parts they play in the process and how to make themselves outshine everyone else; the best leaders just want the project to be a success and do what they need to do to help it along.

If you desire to win out over the competition as you grow your business, this book is for you! Read it and find out why. Ric Thompson goes through the various stages of development in the book's subject in a very concise manner. There is minimal amount of pages dedicated to case studies to pad out the book. He goes through all the steps, and fills in more than enough information to cover all that's needed for learning this subject. In this book, Ric discusses the traits that a team leader needs to develop and display in order to build a high performance team. He also introduces team development and also leadership without authority and informal power. The required steps of analyzing, communicating and building a supporting coalition are illustrated as well as power for personal effectiveness in leading and motivating. Concepts are clear and the overall approach is useful. I Recommend reading the book both for personal interest as well as increasing personal leadership skills.

Nice anecdotes but very few "new" tangible lessons and ideas. i was hoping the book will have a structured argument, but i got disappointed. Well worth it! I truly loved listening to this book. Especially since servant leadership is a principle I fully support. Your talk of love being fundamental to having a great business is superb. Very uplifting and encouraging, Matt. A great book! Thank you. more than a leadership book Would you consider the audio edition of Serve to Be Great to be better than the print version? This audio exceeded my expectations. I pretty much listened to this in one sitting.Was not planning on that. Lots of great stories about leaders and companies whose success stems from not only serving the needs of their customers but also their employees. Some of the companies mentioned are Google,Southwest airline, Next Jump,Life is Good,Zappos and Ritz Carlton. Ritz Carlton allows their employees to spent up to $2000 per customer! Pretty amazing what these companies will do for their customers and employees, not because they have to but they want to. Who was your favorite character and why? Matt Tenney was a US Marine, spent 5 1/2 years in military prison trying to defraud the US government of $2.7 million. During his confinement, he learned mindfulness practice and almost became a monk after leaving prison. He made a really bad decision and paid for it. And ultimately found his success by serving others. Have you listened to any of Rex Andersons other performances before? How does this one compare? Rex has a pleasant voice and I would listen to him again. A couple of words he pronounced sounded odd but other than that he did a great job. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Inspiring story of success that could be achieved through serving others. A book that everyone should read. It's about thinking less of yourself,your needs and more about how you can help others, creating a win/win situation for everyone involved. Any additional comments? I'm also getting the print version to share with others. If you enjoyed books by Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Pink, you will like this book. My other 2 favorite audiobooks that are 5 stars and I listened to in the last 3 months are 10% Happier by Dan Harris and Promise of a Pencil by Adam Braun. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Conquer-the-Entrepreneurs-Kryptonite-Audiobook/B00FG1ISHA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Having been "in the business of business" for 30 years and having taught University-level business courses, I have had the opportunity to read many books, articles, dissertations, and treatises on related subjects. I believe it is hard to come up with something new given the foundation built by Drucker, Kotter, Nadler & Tushman, Moss-Kanter and those who have been writing for many more years than Soren Kaplan and seem to have said it all. However, I applaud Kaplan's ability to simplify complex theories and approaches into something quite concrete and understandable. Business is complex - yet some of the more common sense discussions bring more clarity to their application. Some of his examples bring the most surprise to the discussion - as it does not take a Fortune 50 Company from which to learn the best current innovations. Five Stars Great book on Innovation by Dr. Soren Kaplan The content of the book while great is not worth 30USD (include the shipping fee to ... The content of the book while great is not worth 30USD (include the shipping fee to Japan). You can easily come upon similar ideas for zero cost on the Internet Relevant, pragmatic, thoughtful Working in innovation, this book really helps you think outside the box and suggests concrete action to foster and execute on disruptive breakthroughs. Pick it up, take it on a plane, and land a smarter, more effective person. Interesting book to read Writer gives lots of useful examples in harnessing the power of surprises which open up my mind. I would recommend the book to anyone who also wants to learn more about the Leapfrogging process. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-Women-Decide-Audiobook/B01EVHYKW6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Meanwhile, narratives about women in business overlook decision making or offer advice that is unhelpful and can even backfire. How Women Decide fills this gap. It takes on the very real psychological and cultural obstacles women face, asks how these affect decision making, and suggests practical changes for approaching important choices. Using the latest research and her interviews with women in many fields, Huston breaks down the myths and facts around intuition, self-perception, risk assessment, and more. In this guide she persuasively argues that, contrary to popular opinion, women shouldn't feign inflated confidence indiscriminately. Critic Reviews: "Susan Boyces spot-on performance conveys the intellectual confidence needed for this enlightening book on decision-making and gender.

Using the latest research and her interviews with women in many fields, Huston breaks down the myths and facts around intuition, self-perception, risk assessment, and more. In this guide she persuasively argues that, contrary to popular opinion, women shouldn't feign inflated confidence indiscriminately. Critic Reviews: "Susan Boyces spot-on performance conveys the intellectual confidence needed for this enlightening book on decision-making and gender.

Title: How Women Decide Subtitle: What's True, What's Not, and What Strategies Spark the Best Choices Author: Therese Huston Narrator: Susan Boyce Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Narratives about decision making are often inadvertently tailored primarily to men.

I was surprised to see some of my own flawed actions/misconceptions discussed in the book. Each chapter ends with quick lists of things to remember and helpful techniques to utilize. Not just for women. This book reveals why it is important to have both male and female perspectives in decision making. Of particular interest is how the two genders tend to react differently in crisis or high pressure situations. Well written with great examples and entertaining vignettes that bring the principles home and often leave you smiling. This is a must-read book for all women and also for managers - men and women! This is a must-read book for all women and also for managers - men and women! It is packed with practical advice and simple steps you can do today to make a difference in your own decision-making process. It even has advice for on how to deal with your loved ones when they make bad decisions. I especially liked the research backing up the claims in this book. Managers, both men and women, can learn a lot from this book about how to level the playing field for women in the workplace. Companies would be wise to have women decision-makers on their boards because the evidence in this book shows that the companies make better decisions and do better financially. I've already read it twice! We invited the author, Therese Huston, to come speak and do a book discussion to our women faculty at our university and the attendees couldn't say enough great things about the book and the author's presentation. Do yourself a favor today and read this book! I love the tone of this book. I love the tone of this book. In sensitive and always well-balanced arguments, supported by ample evidence and anecdotes, Dr. Huston explains gender difference. Always affirming, Dr. Huston explains why this matters not only to women, but to the world, and--most importantly--to decisions. The conclusion: decisions are better when women participate, and when women lead. Too often, stereotypes, unfair systems, or simple lack of awareness, keep women from achieving. Dr. Huston gently reveals the underlying reasons, and offers simple, yet meaningful ways to respond. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-New-Prince-Audiobook/B002V0RGNQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Who better to write The New Prince than the election strategist who helped secure President Clinton's comeback victory in 1996: political dark prince Dick Morris.

Members Reviews: Thought written some 10 years ago, it still feels fresh I enjoyed THE NEW PRINCE, written and read by noted political strategist Dick Morris. He's the guy who helped secure President Clinton's comeback victory in 1996 . . . here, he takes the ideas first expressed in Niccolo Machiavelli's THE PRINCE some five centuries ago and updates them for the 21st century. Though written nearly 10 years ago, it still feels so fresh that it seems like both of the candidates currently running for President are applying the ideas . . . or at least they should be. For instance, among the many tidbits that I gained from listening were the following: * Issue messages are more effective than image ads in getting votes. They're also more effective in explaining the true character of the candidate. * Campaigns can't win if they are based solely on a negative message. * Voters pay little attention to allegations of scandal. After Clinton's impeachment, his popularity rose 5%. * Voters are a lot less concerned about the abstract qualities a candidate may have than they are about what he will do to help them in their own personal lives. * People are more inclined to vote for, not against. * The art of leadership is to maintain sufficient forward motion to control events and steer public policy without losing public support. And this one that every politician must remember: * After you lose, nurture your donors. Act like you didn't lose. And smile, even though it hurts. THE NEW PRINCE is just about essential reading for any candidate, regardless of whether running for a national, state or even local School Board office. Practical analysis of politics dynamics. The author takes you into a practical view of politics, displaying a great command of the field. Morris presents us with a theory of political behavior which is not anchored in a sophisticated research of anthropology (indeed, references are rather scarce throughout the book), yet his analysis is a very convincing case about the actual dynamics of politics. After reading this book you will acquire empirical knowledge of what to do if you want to win elections, govern a constituency, or venture yourself into the public service. The reading is particularly enjoyable, as the author brings forward historical experiences of successful political campaigns to support his views. A Roadmap to winning an election - but what then? Dick Morris' is without doubt a brilliant political consultant and tactitian. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/SET-for-Inclusion-Audiobook/B00ZYR6828 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: SET for Inclusion Subtitle: An Underlying Methodology for Achieving Your Inclusion Dividend Author: Mark Kaplan, Mason Donovan Narrator: Tavia Gilbert Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-19-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: One of the biggest challenges for organizations over the past 40 years has been integrating inclusiveness into practical, day-to-day leadership. In the authors' first book, The Inclusion Dividend, they made the case for inclusive leadership as a measurable asset to an organization; it shows up in the bottom line and in other measurable results. In SET for Inclusion, Donovan and Kaplan take that one step further by guiding leaders through the application of a framework to lead inclusively. The authors discuss the current research on unconscious bias and insider-outsider dynamics and focus on how to translate that current research into best practice for leaders. SET for Inclusion follows the stories of three diverse characters in a large modern organization - a top executive, a middle manager, and an individual contributor. Each of these characters is working to make inclusiveness real, to provide tangible benefits for them as individuals and for the organization. These characters and their stories reflect the authors' 45 years of experience in working with middle- and senior-level managers in a variety of Fortune 1000 companies. The characters' experiences, going from self-awareness to action, will be very familiar to leaders in large domestic and global organizations. They will provide an important, step-by-step template for leaders who are interested in creating and leveraging diversity and inclusion within their organizations. Editorial Reviews: SET for Inclusion provides a very realistic methodology for instilling diversity and inclusion concepts into everyday work life decisions. (Lisa Barnum, director, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity, the Aerospace Corporation) Critic Reviews: "Whether you sit in the C-Suite, are in the world of middle management, or are an individual contributor, SET for Inclusion illustrates how easily you can own inclusion in your work space."

(Amy Goldstein, senior director, J. Crew) Members Reviews: I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking practical tools for immediately ... Probably the most difficult thing to understand when it comes to effectively leveraging diversity and inclusion to improve business results is how to implement actions that actually make a difference. SET for Inclusion, by applying a very simple decision-making model, provides the reader with a clear understanding of the awareness AND actions necessary to create greater inclusion. By following three fictitious, yet realistic, characters at varying levels of seniority in a company (C-suite executive, middle manager, and individual contributor), Donovan and Kaplan provide a simple roadmap for understanding the process necessary to interrupt unconscious bias in decision-making and take action for lasting change. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking practical tools for immediately increasing inclusion in any organization. Concrete, doable actions make inclusiveness a reality -- this book shows how! Donovan and Kaplan have done it again! This book is exactly what it claims to be -- the rare, practical "D&I" book that gives corporate leaders and employees concrete, doable actions to leverage diversity by making inclusiveness a reality. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Re-Imagining-Philanthropy-Second-Edition-Audiobook/B076CSMM2T Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Brown Narrator: Erik Synnestvedt Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-05-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Today when the competition, technology, and the economy are evolving faster than ever before, organizations and the people like us who work in them need a proven approach to help us adapt - and succeed. The key, according to Paul B. Brown, is to think like an entrepreneur, no matter what your position or industry. What works for the most successful entrepreneurs will work for us, Brown argues, whether we want to stay employed working for someone else or are thinking of going off on our own. Based on extensive research, Entrepreneurship for the Rest of Us reveals the best practices of the most successful entrepreneurs, those who are adept at continually innovating and seeing opportunity where others do not. They do that by following a rigid approach. For example: They never start with a new idea, but by trying to solve a market need. Financing is an afterthought. They get started with the resources at hand (not only does that allow them to move quickly, if things don't work out, they are not out much). Perfect is the enemy of good, it is much more important to get out into the marketplace with a prototype than to keep fiddling with what you have. In short, the entrepreneurial mindset is a protection against economic uncertainty, and Brown's goal is to spread that thinking to individuals and large organizations alike. Though of course we wont all start or run our own companies, we need to learn to think like entrepreneurs so that when uncertainty hits, as it will again and again, individuals and companies will be better prepared to not only survive but win.

Though of course we wont all start or run our own companies, we need to learn to think like entrepreneurs so that when uncertainty hits, as it will again and again, individuals and companies will be better prepared to not only survive but win. Critic Reviews: "Browns writing style is focused and succinct, much like the process he describes, and his advice is truly insightful. Anyone looking to start a business or expand a current one should take a page from this outstanding book." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good information-a lot of filler Found the information to be very good and valuable. It did feel like the author was trying to fill a word count or a page requirement. Throughout the book he would start describing something & would say "we'll get to that shortly." It got annoying after a while. Good info though & would recommend to someone wanting advice on starting their business. Worth a few reads I really enjoyed listening to this book and it has given me loads of advice and knowledge. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Shibumi-Strategy-A-Powerful-Way-to-Create-Meaningful-Change-Audiobook/B00913N02W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Easy to read and insightful little business novel with Lean influences The Shibumi Strategy is a little business novel with a strong Japanese and Lean influence (coming from the authors years of work with Toyota). The novel is about finding your way and achieving Shibumi, which doesn't have a good translation but roughly translates to flow or perfection (according to the author). The story is about Andy who is a sales manager in a company in a small city in the US. His company decides to move the work to another location and hence everyone who worked there is laid off. The city is a small city however and there aren't much jobs available. Andy needs to decide whether to stay and find a new job or move back to the city. He decides to stay and applies to a job for a car dealer (as a car salesman). He has never worked as a car salesman before and will need to prove himself in this new job. He is out of balance, will Andy find his balance again? (I won't share the end of the story). The Shibumi strategy is a well written and engaging small novel. It is only about 140 pages, so it is a quick read (and a worthy read). I enjoyed reading it a lot and would recommend it, especially when you like the business novel genre. I didn't find it perfect and didn't like it as much as e.g. The Lean Manger (from Balle and Balle). There was also at times a bit too much Japanese terms being used with little description or explanation of its in-depth meaning. Still, worth reading! 4 stars. The story format is a wonderful vehicle for the personal Zen principles that the character ... Small book brimming with potentially life-changing ideas. The story format is a wonderful vehicle for the personal Zen principles that the character is shown as he needs them. A nice hero's journey with astounding change in store. Many books that purport to teach Eastern philosophic principles are dry as dust, but this little package of dynamite is the exception. Highly readable, illuminating, and I believe will be very helpful for beginning my own journey. AWESOME! I already know Matt's previous books, but this one is absolutely a masterpiece!

Members Reviews: Case Study After being away from the Creative Problem Solving process for a little while, this audio book served as a good refresher to what it consists of, and how extraordinary results can occur. This book details how a consulting firm failed to provide its client with any novel solutions to a problem it had, and then reinventing itself through the implementation of CPS. Essentially, the team dedicated with solving the problems butted heads at first, but soon after, they reinvented themselves by creatively working through their differences, and thereby becoming a strong team. An explanation of each stage is explained, as well as the methodology behind it. Great Read! Enjoyed this book, and it will have practical application for my current and future positions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Predicting-the-Unpredictable-Pragmatic-Approaches-to-Estimating-Cost-or-Schedule-Audiobook/B01IFFZFU6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Clear Guide on Estmating This is a very good book. It is concise, it uses simple language and it progresses logically. For those of us that have been estimating for some time, and understand the problems, this book will encourages meaningful changes. If you are new to software estimation this book will help you understand the process and it's traps, along with how you can work with the problems. If you are currently debating your estimation process at work, trying to introduce change, use this book for guidance and get others (especially management) to read this book and discuss the benefits change could bring. Sommuch great advice from such a short book. Awesome. Great advice for estimation techniques! Picked up this book to better understand alternative ways to estimates projects, and Johanna provides excellent advice on ways to help "predict" the unpredictable that is software development. Her suggestions help satisfy the usually present ends of the spectrum in a software organization - upper management's question of "when will it be done" and a team's usual answer of "when it's done." Highly recommend this and her other titles! Great summary of current estimation thinking This is a great book for those that have the feeling that their estimates are wrong, especially in an agile context. The tools here, the approach to thinking and the hidden things that really effect estimate accuracy (eg context switching) are all covered. The Art of Predicting Projects Anyone involved with delivering a product or a project will have to face two questions: when will it finish, and how much will it cost? The questions are straightforward and simple, they are also justified, but the answers are the source of a huge literature with a lot of books and articles, leading to heated debates and claims. And if you're dealing with a software-intensive product or a project, you already know the difficulties of making predictions about future. In this no-nonsense and pragmatic book, the author tries to look at the various aspects of predicting the timing of software projects. Given the statistical nature of the problem at hand, and the thirst for determinism of the business, she manages to clarify the concepts and draw attention to critical pitfalls. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Alexander-the-Greats-Art-of-Strategy-Audiobook/B002V8HGFG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The Wall Street Journal) Members Reviews: Fascinating I am always suspicious of business audiobooks masquerading as history lessons. This one does not always succeed but it does work on many levels. This offers a wonderful introduction to Alexander, the power of Macedonia and complex history of Greece. Time and again you come away amazed at Alexander's insight, skill, courage--and yes, brutality. The strategic lessons ARE valuable, but can they be traced to Alexander? Do they translate to busness settings? Only in the broadest sense. Still, this is well narrated and fascinating history. The author does draw parallels with current business situations which, at the least, add to the richness of this valuable audio selection. Insightful and Enjoyable There is no doubt Alexander the Great is one of the most important leaders and strategists and that he had tremendous influence in shaping the world where we live today. This audio book does a great job of providing a detailed, but always interesting account of his life, accomplishments and legacy. Even though it is audio, the description of the battles and the strategies followed are clear and incredibly interesting. The author provides a fantastic summary of Alexander's strategy and legacy. The author's commentary about how it relates to corporate strategy is sparse and not very effective. Which makes this a poor book on strategy but a wonderful book on history and the legacy of Alexander the Great. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Painful content, stretched parallels I thought this would provide a good history of Alexander, insight to his thinking, and then provide direction on how you could use similar thinking in today's business world. Unfortunately, although it provides a historical account, the parallels between his accomplishments and today's business worlds are stretched to the maximum. At one point Alexander is compared to a "rock star", which isn't all that insightful. As I listened, I got the impression that the author just reached out to any business examples, and found a way to tie them together. In essence, it's like search engine results. Businesses don't conquer through war, and anybody who thinks they can run a successful business based on lessons learned through military conflicts isn't running a respectful business. The parallels were almost circular. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Welcome-to-the-Butterbeck-School-of-Mismanagement-Audiobook/B06XY6JGB6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Humorous & Satirical This was a fun read, that is set in a fictional school that teaches people how to succeed at being bad managers, you could almost believe that it's a real school. If you have ever worked for any horrible bosses A great read. Welcome To The Butterbeck School of Mismanagement. This book follows Michael Purcell a grad student that aspires to become a terrible leader. His joy is realized when he receives his acceptance letter into the Master's of Science program for a degree in Mismanagement and Disorganization and Behavior. The above is the overview of this creative book. I usually do not write book reviews, but this one became the exception. As we strive to learn more and more about being the best leader, it was a refreshing change to take a different turn, to find out how to become a terrible leader. Of course the things we read about in this book, are taboo to anyone that wishes to lead with success. But, for the shear pleasure of taking a different spin about poor leadership I found myself smiling as I read different passages. Chapters include Disciplining in Public, Micromanaging - The Art of Control, and my favorite Gossiping for Effect. As you read through the chapters, you cannot help but chuckle, and remember past peers and bosses that must have attended this school. Classes are also taught by some colorful professors such as, Colonel Dey, Professor Bowell, and Professor Ulysses Taylor-Tapes. These professors are the best (or worst) in their field, and set off to train the next generation of horrible leader. I loved the chapter Gossiping For Effect. In real life, as we go about our day as leaders, we are trying to keep the grapevine and rumor mill under control. Nothing can zap morale and motivation faster then a good rumor. Makes no difference if it is about co workers, members of the leadership team or the organization itself. The detriment of rumors have no place in a successful organization. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadocracy-Audiobook/B009ZVE632 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Leadocracy: Hiring More Great Leaders (Like You) In Office review written by guest blogger Nabil Khan Throughout the past decade due to conflicts of war, milestone presidencies, and revolutions around the world, the public eye has been focused on the leaders in government and the economy. There is a perceived dynamic between the public and private sector leaders that Geoff Smart wishes to change and modify. Geoff Smart provides a survey of the leaders that testify to the transition from public to private sector leadership positions. Smart unambiguously illustrates the process he went through in order to eradicate this stereotype that people, including private sector financier leaders, have about positions in government. Through the use of past examples of leaders who made the transition and their opinions concerning their experiences, Geoff Smart helps the reader develop a greater understanding of government leadership. Geoff Smart consistently uses various examples of successful individuals who made the transition from private sector leadership to public sector leadership. These examples include Mitchell Daniels, governor of Indiana, Governor Jack Merkell of Delaware, and Mark Gollogly who sits on the cabinet of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Smart interviews and discusses the transition from private sector leadership at places like Blackstone, Ernst & Young, and the Tractor Supply Company, to government leadership positions as governors, secretaries of departments, and cabinet members of the presidential administration. The interviews consisted of questions concerning why they left their high-paying jobs, was the transition a rewarding experience, and whether or not they would recommend it to other CEOs of industry. This book takes you on a personal journey and recommendation of Geoff Smart, a leader in the field of ethical leadership. This journey entails Smart's own hesitancies behind the idea of transitioning from private to public. He admits to the stereotypes and fears that most Americans, and CEOs of industry continue to have: the money isn't as good, it's a political game, and spotlight is not something they want their families to endure. Geoff Smart tackles these obstacles by asking tough questions and requiring substantial answers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Scrum-of-Scrums-Audiobook/B015GDJ1TQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The book is very informative and helpful. It is a good read for every project manager. Clearly written reference This is a great volume that I can see myself looking back at as time goes on. The author describes things well and has even gotten me thinking in SCRUM in my dreams. Reading this book helped a lot! Mr Joe. Good, basic overview of Scrum of Scrums This is a good overview of basic concepts of what a Scrum of Scrums is, who should attend, who should facilitate, etc. I appreciated the industry insights added in the final pages. I would recommend this book for people new to the concept needing a nice reference book. I don't think this book stands on its own and the reader should already know and have mastered the concepts of Scrum and facilitation. This book should follow reading the Scrum Guide and Craig Larman's Scaling Agile and Lean two-book set. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Beliefs-Behaviors-and-Results-The-Chief-Executives-Guide-to-Delivering-Superior-Shareholder-Value-Audiobook/B013F61VV2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The concepts are real and usable, and not obvious ... The concepts are real and usable, and not obvious to many before the fact. It becomes clear that when using generally accepted accounting principles you can end up with a house of cards (negative value that appears to be positive value) when it comes to making real money and growing the value of a company! This is more of an engineered approach to building a corporation's value! If you are reading this as a non-executive or without a finance background (as I read it as an engineer) I would suggest a quick study of one prerequisite concept. Google the definition of WACC (weighted average cost of capital) to keep in mind the effect of tying up cash in an asset vs. borrowing against it as it applies to the cost of capital. This is not a book just about that concept, but you need to understand the weighted average cost of capital after borrowing is what is being referred to often. Then you are ready to begin reading. Goal of every company is to maximize shareholders value Excellent read on why economic profit is the best metric for maximizing shareholder value and also good suggestions and example on how to impliment in your business. Good balanced read Great quick read that does a good job of balancing 'hand waving' magic and getting stuck in the details. Does a good job of laying out the big picture ideas required to maximize shareholder returns. A recommended read for anyone in C-suite or working with C-suite executives! Read it early in your career, read it often A must-read for every current and aspiring CEO. Also should be required reading for equity analysts - as well as everyone who ever bought a stock for his or her own portfolio. Good As a consultant, I find this book interesting and I feel that I've learned a lot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/BoxBreakers-Audiobook/B01BUECQYC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We've all experienced the impact of technology on how we do business, and on how organizations work. Computers. Email. Mobile phones. All things we now take for granted, but they had a profound effect on how we got work done. Social media--which lets anyone publish anything from anywhere, and which creates instant communities around shared interests--will have a far more profound effect on how we do business than anything we've seen so far. It will literally force us to tear up and re-knit the fabric of how our organizations are structured. I have believed this to be true for a while, and we finally have a book that explains why this transformation will happen, what the post-social media organization will look like, and how to transition your business from a hierarchical, mechanistic structure into to a far more sustainable, effective people-centric organization. In the first four chapters, all written in an informative yet highly readable style, Grant and Notter explain the origins of our current process- and best practices-based corporate structures, why those structures will fail if they don't change, and what the challenges are to making the change happen. This is not a pollyanna cheerleading book about how great social media is; the changes will happen but they won't be easy for many organizations to absorb. That's where the second half of the book comes in. In four brilliantly written chapters, the authors offer detailed, practical advice--complete with downloadable worksheets and specific examples and suggestions for how anyone (not just executives) can start making a difference today. Humanize allows you to help your organization become open, trustworthy, generative (being able to produce/create value on an ongoing basis) and courageous. And, for those organizations who can make the transition, it will allow them to build far closer, more valuable relationships with its customers and its employees. I am not typically a fan of business books, but I really enjoyed this one, both for its subject matter and its readability. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Change-or-Go-Audiobook/B004J1DCDI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Emergent provides a handbook for navigating - and thriving in - the new cultural paradigm. More than a simple DIY for change, this book empowers organizations to diagnose change risk, address current shortcomings, and adapt to the increasing current away from hierarchies to autonomous and interdependent networks. Unguided, most fail in their attempt; this shift exposes huge skills deficits, a lack of engagement, lack of value and meaning, market reach, penetration, and more. Here, a 20-year veteran of brand and culture transformation outlines a unique governance framework and blueprint for implementing and co-creating your own cultural shift. Methodologies from crowdsourcing and social movements are adopted as tools for initiating change and creating cultural cohesion around a higher purpose, and essential skills and tools help equip organizations and individuals for the emergent future. Today's workplace demands are creating extraordinary challenges for organizations; power is shifting, and the spotlight has forced businesses to engage with stakeholders in more meaningful ways, and to acknowledge a need for radical "humanization" of the workplace. To drive successful change you need to spark a movement. This book provides a way forward through the transition, with expert guidance and a clear, actionable framework for implementation. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Stephen Johnson) Sun, 23 Jul 2017 06:43:42 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Emergent-Audiobook/B073XQGRL5 thebookvoice.com 05:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The advanced leader's change handbook that you will use again and again for years This is an elegant, intellectually rigorous and soulful approach to organisational change. Stephen lifts the bar when it comes to creating organisations as catalysts for large scale positive evolution - for people and planet. His models of stages of organisational cultures through to the step by step Catalyst model on how to spark a movement are wonderful maps on how to think and engage in a meaningful way in our work. The case studies and guest posts bring real world application to the models and thinking that help put it all in context. This book is the advanced leader's companion and resource guide for higher level thinking - and doing. You'll want to keep it with you, returning to it again and again over years for guidance and inspiration. Very readable and accessible On the one hand, I really enjoyed reading "Emergent: Ignite Purpose, Transform Culture, Make Change Stick" by Stephen Scott Johnson. It had good advice throughout the book on the emerging work culture that I could appreciate. On the other hand, it did seem like it was trying to do a lot at times so transition from one idea to another sometimes felt random. That said, the first point still held. As long as I took the reading more as ideas under one umbrella, it worked for me as it was highly readable, accessible and thoughtful. The beginning of successful culture change Emergence is one of the tenets of systems thinking - where organisations endeavour to achieve their outcomes and solve their problems without creating problems for themselves further down the track. For this to be so, the change must be systemically desirable and culturally feasible. We're often better at meeting the first criterion and often woeful at the second. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Vaporized-Audiobook/B01M8KGQ3K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Vaporized Subtitle: Solid Strategies for Success in a Dematerialized World Author: Robert Tercek Narrator: Tim Welch Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-16 Publisher: LifeTree Media Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Brace yourself for enormous changes ahead. Familiar fixtures of the economic landscape, including retail stores, physical products, corporations, and even human workers, are about to be vaporized - replaced by digital information. A novel combination of new technologies - mobile, cloud, crowd, artificial intelligence - are reconfiguring every economic sector and industrial system on the planet. Even industries that were long considered immune to digital transformation are suddenly vulnerable to rapid dematerialization: now automobiles, hotels, health care, and higher education can be replaced by an app-enabled marketplace. The process of vaporization is relentless and all-pervasive. For consumers this change is as bewildering as it is exhilarating. But for the CEOs of old-school firms, the change is terrifying. And for startup Internet companies, it's the greatest landgrab since the Gold Rush. In Vaporized, innovation expert Robert Tercek shows us how this process works and takes us to the front line of digital transformation. Tercek provides an essential guide to this vaporized world, with proven strategies for those who want to master the process.

(Seth Godin) Members Reviews: Digitization: A New Age Reading this book really opened my eyes to how much today's society relies on digital media. According to Robert Tercek, vaporization is not strategic, that it is a change of lifestyles driven by access to all. That it is humanity's ability through technological advancements to do more with less until you can do everything with nothing. That in today's day and age, we are able to replicate any business function with software! That in today's business world, data centers will be replaced with codes! To me, the whole point of Tercek's book is to understand that every aspect of our economy and society is set to be reconfigured by technological forces that only a handful of increasingly powerful companies have mastered. It is important to learn and understand that digital media and technology is taking over the business world, and we better be ready because it waits for no ones. Very thorough I loved this as it got me thinking a lot about my business and what may happen in the future in my area. Maybe tries to cover too much even in the last chapter but that is pure brain food. Took my time to get used to the voice with me being from the uk but once that happened it was bearable ;-) Tercek Emphasizes the Truths About Vaporization What made the experience of listening to Vaporized the most enjoyable? The most enjoyable part of listening to Vaporized was the way that Tercek kept referring back to the 1980s, when technology was just beginning to flourish in many aspects of people's everyday lives. What other book might you compare Vaporized to and why? A book that I find to be similar to Vaporized is The Inevitable. Like Vaporized, The Inevitable illuminates many trends that are continuing to change our society. Vaporized highlighted the changes that are taking place in workplaces. People are losing jobs due to down sizing, because corporations are always trying to "do more with less". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Virgin-Way-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B072MKYF52 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Virgin Way [Russian Edition] Subtitle: If It's Not Fun, It's Not Worth Doing Author: Richard Branson Narrator: Maxim Kireev Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-17 Publisher: New Internet Technologies & Alpina Publisher Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This is an audiobook on leadership from someone who has never read a book on leadership in his life. While building the Virgin Group over the course of 40 years, Richard Branson has never shied away from tackling seemingly outlandish challenges that others (including his own colleagues on many occasions) considered sheer lunacy. He has taken on giants like British Airways and won, and monsters like Coca-Cola and lost. Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different, swashbuckling style of leadership. Learn how fun, family, passion, and the dying art of listening are key components to what his extended family of employees around the world has always dubbed (with a wink) "the Virgin Way". This unique perspective comes from a man who dropped out of school at 16, suffers from dyslexia, and has never worked for anyone but himself. He may be famous for thinking outside the box - an expression he despises - but Branson asserts that "you'll never have to think outside the box if you refuse to let anyone build one around you".

If I was reading this book in the car and got into an accident and totaled my car I would not be mad. The best way if your are going to try and accomplish something is to try and mimic someone who has done it before. Joe Montana has been to the Superbowl 4 times and won every single time, I think I want to get my winning principles from him. Joe Montana's tireless work ethic showed itself in gamedays. The game itself is only 60 minutes but he might be prepping for it for 40 hours that week. For Today is when we preapre for tomorrow. I love Joe Montana and I love this book. Great read. Simple and plain conversion into applying to our own lives. WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US? Five Stars Loved this book. Two incredibly bright men who share wonderful insight and principles. Highly recommend reading this. Excellent Advice for Any Athlete I find this book to have some great advice on dealing with adversity and succeeding. Highly recommended to any athlete at any level who wished to find an edge.

Title: Faster Cheaper Better Author: Michael Hammer, Lisa Hershman Narrator: George K. Wilson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The rough patch we have had for the past couple of years is only going to continue. Michael Hammers brilliance was especially acute during tough times when people in business had to hunker down and just be plain better than the competition. His focus was on the nuts-and-bolts of how work actually gets done, showing people how to transform a business by improving the way it is run - whether its a factory or a software company. While he worked with CEOs, much of his life was spent two and three levels down, with people who run refineries, develop new pharmaceuticals, make the packaging for food products, market financial services, deliver health care, or develop software. Hammers mantra was, My job isnt to tell people what business they should be in, thats up to them. I simply tell them how to do it best---whether its something as complex as software or as simple as widgets, and that means doing it differently. The central problem Hammer saw is that despite good intentions, companies dont perform at the levels they need to because the way they do things is screwed up. This book is a tool kit for how to do things right, providing its listeners with the skills to make deep and fundamental changes in how companies do their work. Given the range of people and the types of companies Hammer worked with, Faster Cheaper Better will benefit a wide range of people. It includes those at the top as well as middle managers and business professionals. Its focus on operations and process make it the ideal book not only for those who run a factory, refinery, or the customer service operation of a bank, but also people and companies engaged in creative activities - such as book publishers, software companies, and pharmaceutical firms. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Michael Hammer) Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:20:10 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Faster-Cheaper-Better-Audiobook/B004IAUV1G thebookvoice.com 10:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Every business owner should read this book to get an understanding of how to "fight" in the business world. Easy listening and short.

Title: Tough Things First Subtitle: Leadership Lessons from Silicon Valley's Longest Serving CEO Author: Ray Zinn Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 02-01-16 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Silicon Valley pioneer Ray Zinn, CEO of top microchip company Micrel for 37 years, shows entrepreneurs and executives how to lead and succeed by tackling the tough things first. In high school, Ray Zinn's track coach told him he was too short to run the hurdles. Ray took this as a challenge and, after months of hard training, became the fastest hurdler on the team. That drive and self-discipline is, to Zinn, the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit. It's what pushed him to achieve the impossible: founding a Silicon Valley microchip company - without venture capital - and turning it into a global empire with an enviable 37-year track record as CEO. Tough Things First, the distillation of Ray Zinn's astonishing career as CEO of Micrel, is a comprehensive, head-to-toe training program for entrepreneurs and leaders based on hard-won lessons in business and in life. Zinn's tough-love approach gives you the guidance you need to: Zinn tells you what it takes to succeed in a world where markets are constantly changing, new technologies are emerging, and small startups are going head to head with industry giants. He shows you how to be a good leader and what you can do to make yourself even better. He reveals why discipline is the first and most important step - for the entrepreneur and the organization - and why people are your single most valuable resource. He offers practical, no-nonsense advice on processes and procedures, finances and growth creation, changing markets and new technology. But that's not all. The key to your success, Zinn explains, lies in your mind, your body, your vision, and your heart. This book shows you how to develop these interconnected skills, how to integrate them into your life and work, and how to handle the tough things first. As the trailblazing founder and CEO of Micrel, Inc., one of the world's leading microchip companies, Ray Zinn bootstrapped his company, achieved consistent profitability, and delivered a total equity value of more than $800 million at its acquisition. In 37 years of leading this publicly traded microchip empire, he saw it through the dot-com bust and the Great Recession with only one unprofitable year, relying on his discipline as a leader, passion as an inventor, and training as an athlete. In 2015, Zinn stepped down as Micrel's CEO and is in the process of launching a Silicon Valley accelerator that will help business visionaries build profitable, enduring companies. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ray Zinn) Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:42:56 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Tough-Things-First-Audiobook/B01B8ABQJO thebookvoice.com 08:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Change the Way You Lead Change Subtitle: Leadership Strategies that REALLY Work Author: David Herold, Donald Fedor Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Change is never a stepwise or easily prescribed process. Rather, it is messy and complicated, and its outcomes are easily swayed by a host of factors. In this context, leaders need to develop and utilize realistic frameworks for organizational change. They need to implement a holistic change model that defines and justifies the proposed change, and takes account of both the abilities of those who will be asked to lead and carry out the change, and the context in which the change is to occur. To develop such a model, Herold and Fedor examined more than 300 changes and interviewed over 8,000 individuals who lived through them. They then reality-tested their model by bouncing their ideas off hundreds of managers who were living change on a day-to-day basis. Those ideas are collected in this practical book, which will be of use to anyone who is likely to lead change initiatives in almost any organizational environment-from executives, to consultants, to management students. Critic Reviews: "I recommend this book to anyone who may be called upon to act as a change agent." (William H. Anderson, Principal, Prudential Financial) "Truly a who, what, when, where, why, & how on adapting to change. Kudos to the authors...a wonderful book...the model of all models on leading change!"

Title: Change the Way You Lead Change Subtitle: Leadership Strategies that REALLY Work Author: David Herold, Donald Fedor Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Change is never a stepwise or easily prescribed process. Rather, it is messy and complicated, and its outcomes are easily swayed by a host of factors. In this context, leaders need to develop and utilize realistic frameworks for organizational change. They need to implement a holistic change model that defines and justifies the proposed change, and takes account of both the abilities of those who will be asked to lead and carry out the change, and the context in which the change is to occur. To develop such a model, Herold and Fedor examined more than 300 changes and interviewed over 8,000 individuals who lived through them. They then reality-tested their model by bouncing their ideas off hundreds of managers who were living change on a day-to-day basis. Those ideas are collected in this practical book, which will be of use to anyone who is likely to lead change initiatives in almost any organizational environment-from executives, to consultants, to management students. Critic Reviews: "I recommend this book to anyone who may be called upon to act as a change agent." (William H. Anderson, Principal, Prudential Financial) "Truly a who, what, when, where, why, & how on adapting to change. Kudos to the authors...a wonderful book...the model of all models on leading change!"

(Steve Kerr, Senior Advisor, Goldman Sachs and former Head of Training and Development, Goldman Sachs and General Electric) Members Reviews: Change is inevitable, leadership isn't. We all recognize the need for change, or at least the inevitability that our organizations must change as the environment changes, as technology changes, as the market conditions change, etc.. What isn't often recognized is the multidimensionality of the issues relating to successful changes, and the degree to which change depends on managing people and how they interrelate. This important book explains how organizational changes can go awry, and what ingredients are needed to avoid numerous hidden pitfalls. For example, the success of directives from above to bring about change depends not only on the correctness of the objectives, but also on the alignment of employees and other stakeholders with these objectives and their willingness and interest in making the changes happen. What may seem like a simple, obvious path to change can easily be delayed or blocked by hidden sources of resistance that cannot simply be steam-rolled or shoved aside. The attitudes and perceptions of individual change agents at many levels of the organization can have a profound affect on the outcome. Specific examples, and research results are presented to show how various approaches to change succeed or fail depending on these and other factors. It is a fascinating and rigorous study of the fundamental psychological processes that occur when organizations undergo change, and what leadership must pay close attention to in order to make changes work. Easy reading that goes straight to the point This book as suggested by the professor at GA Tech and she couldn't have been more assertive on choosing this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Start-with-Why-End-with-How-Audiobook/B00WTM4C24 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There's a lot of great information in this book that could not only be applied at the workplace but towards life in general. Indeed it's true, especially at work, that a person reacts to the way they're treated whether it be negatively or positively. Either at work or at home, YES, what you do matters. Nobody wants to feel as if they're just a cog in the wheel. People are the ones that make a company great. And leaders are born every day. I can relate this to a few people I know as well as their employees and employers. I think this book would be beneficial to many people. I wish this had been a longer audiobook. It leads into the next book "Directional Thinking: 10 Steps to Positive Thinking." Important information. Jay Prichard is a wonderfully upbeat narrator. His pacing and pauses are perfect. He speaks clearly and in a positive way which makes this a great listen. I look forward to the next book. Audiobook received in exchange for an honest review. Great Companion to Directional Thinking Any additional comments? It seems that Start with Why... is either a section of or an additional tool to Directional Thinking by the same author. I find these shorts (each about an hour) very helpful in my business life. I think that they could pertain to a boss or an employee. The premise show basics tools to as how or why you think the way you do about your position. If one has a negative outlook on his/her job, one should try approaching from a different angle. For example, if you are an employer and you need things to be accomplished by others during the day. If you must cajole, beg and plead for your employees to do the task. Likely, you are not going to feel very good about yourself or your position. Taking a different approach to the same situation may impact you and your staff in a positive way. Letting employees know what needs to be done and getting down and starting to do the job with them may make them more positive about their position and respect the boss more as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lead-like-Reagan-Audiobook/B00PZJCLH6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Practical strategies to motivate, communicate and inspire Although I have read other books written about Reagan, this one is unique in that it analizes Reagan's leadership stragtegies so that the reader, whether the head of a family or a large corporation, can achieve leadership excellence. Dan Quiggle has helped me create a vision, set goals and timelines for action and accomplishment as a real estate agent, a civic leader and as a grandmother. This book about "The Great Communicator" is a must read for parents and teachers, as well as our country's leaders, especialy as it deals with motivating and communicating. I learned so much about Reagan who inspiered optimism; but also how I could be a better person. Dan Quiggle quoted Reagan as saying, "We Americans have never been pessimists. We conquer fear with faith, and we overwhelm threats and hardship with courage, work, opportunity and freedom." This quote is a great comfort to me when I read the daily newspaper or view on TV the nightly bad news. Thank you Dan Quiggle. good book to help develop culture in any organization Very interesting read, good book to help develop culture in any organization Great book/Character buildilng Great book...one I will not only keep, but refer to and share with others! Leadership Skills from one of our greatest Presidents. A wonderful book by a man who was with President Reagan in his post-Presidency. There are a lot of parallels with political leadership and business success. Mr. Quiggle's book points them out vividly in that he used the Presidents leadership skills to start and build some great companies. A wonderful read.

Members Reviews: Others would do better to follow his example You need not be an employee of whole foods market to appreciate John Mackey's approach to running a business. Others would do better to follow his example. Also, Enjoyed the second cd where he speaks about his personal journey. Very uplifting. Conscious people, conscious company, conscious capitalism John Wooden, the legendary coach of the UCLA men's basketball team, has been referred to as the philosopher coach. After listening to John Mackey's two-disk CD set entitled Passion and Purpose: The Power of Conscious Capitalism, I now think of him as a "philosopher CEO." Mackey is the founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market, an organic grocer based in Austin, Texas. Like John Wooden, Mackey is a thoughtful and effective leader. He also happens to be a student of philosophy. Disk one is a live talk Mr. Mackey gave to a group in Austin. During Mackey's talk, we learn about his philosophy of "Conscious Capitalism" and how it will prevail over time. To Mackey, globalization is really an anti-corporate movement. He notes that machine and war metaphors are often used to describe corporations and people don't trust them. There is a need for a new corporate philosophy and Conscious Capitalism is Mackey's view of the type of corporations society needs. Whole Foods' slogan is "Whole foods, whole people, whole planet." Applying the slogan's connecting logic to Conscious Capitalism, Mackey states "Conscious people, conscious company, conscious capitalism." It also happens to be how the CD is organized. Mackey describes his philosophy of Conscious Capitalism then moves on to describe Conscious Companies. Peeling the onion back another layer, he describes the conscious person. "Conscious Companies" are those formed by entrepreneurs who shape a higher purpose that pursues the timeless values of goodness, truth, beauty and/or heroism. The aim is to make the world a better place. While a necessity to survive, profit is a byproduct of the pursuit. The happiness of those involved is another byproduct of Conscious Companies. It comes not only from pursuing the deeper purpose but also from the connection that forms among the people who pursue that purpose together in community. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Clear-Thinking-via-Intuition-and-Discipline-Audiobook/B01DE8BUNK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Because how you lead yourself directly impacts your ability to lead others, and that, in turn, can prevent you from reaching your full career potential. Self-leadership. It begins and ends with you. In Leading YOU, The power of self-leadership to build your executive brand and drive career success, senior executive coach Brenda Bence reveals the 15 most damaging self-leadership behaviors she regularly sees in her practice. She then provides you with dozens of tips and techniques you can immediately apply to correct or improve these behaviors. Packed with real-life executive coaching case studies from around the globe, this book will help you: Members Reviews: ROI return from this book can be VERY significant Brenda simplifies so much guidance with stories, practical tools and easy steps to implement ideas. She understands the complexities of matrix environments with their multiple bosses in a way few do. By the way, I wrote this review on Speechnotes, a new mobile tool I'm using as a result of reading Brenda's time saving tips in this book. (One note - the diagrams don't read well on Kindle at all - too small). This book closes on the value of coaching to help you implement changes. I can personally attest to this. I was fortunate enough to enlist Brenda as my coach 6 years ago and estimate she has added well over US$150,000 to my compensation since that time - a 28 times ROI. Invest in yourself! I was pleased to download it as an audiobook and was so ... Recently finished this latest book by Brenda Bence. I was pleased to download it as an audiobook and was so happy with the clarity with which Brenda presented the topics and steps to bring her highly-researched ideas to life. She explores the problems encountered in developing a personal brand and the solutions to those problems that can turn a personal brand into a great strength. This book serves the corporate executive well, but also serves the individual wishing to have greater success in interpersonal relationships. We are always influencing in all directions, up, down and laterally, and Ms. Bence helps the reader understand how to maximize their own efforts on all levels. Everyone wishes to achieve their goals and communicate effectively, Ms. Bence serves a clear examination of the issues and the steps to achieve the most positive results!

I highly recommend Leading You to anyone looking to find the right balance and direction in their career! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Discover-Your-CEO-Brand-Audiobook/B009RRQ0KG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Taking Your CEO Brand to the Next Level - A Step by Step Process The sub-title itself, Embracing and Maximizing Your Unique Value As A Leader, jumped right out at me. I don't currently have a CEO role, but, aspire to someday run a company. This book added quite a few great gems to becoming a better leader. Suzanne Bates has taken the step-by-step approach and provided a road map to this brand identification, development and use. One of the best chapters is Your CEO brand - The Story of You!! Well worth buying if you are in any type of leadership role. All sizzle but no steak This book represents what's wrong with publishing--and perhaps even America--today. Bates, a former local TV news personality with little or no real business experience, tells readers how to build their "CEO brand." One of her main bits of advice--tell your story. Really? No, definitely not. The typical small businessperson or entrepreneur can't tell "his (or her) story" in order to build a business. In fact, if the average person did as Bates suggests, he wouldn't attract business and might even get laughed at. There are too many folks like Bates out there--all sizzle but no steak. As for the folks who bought this book and gave it rave reviews, they are either the author's friends, motivational speakers as she is, or incredibly gullible. The impact of a leader's brand on organizational success Whether you are a business leader now, or aspire to be one, your time reading Bates' new book will be well spent. She emphasizes the importance of increasing your visibility and influence, without losing your authenticity. In the telling of the stories of some storied business leaders today, Bates demonstrates how people can create new opportunities for the businesses they serve by elevating their own profile as a leader. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Your-Leadership-Story-Audiobook/B00USQ8Y18 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Your Leadership Story Subtitle: Use Your Story to Energize, Inspire, and Motivate Author: Tim Tobin Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Stories have power. They move people in a way that facts and figures can't. Many leaders use stories as a tool, but leadership development expert Tim Tobin says most have no idea what tale their own leadership is telling. He shows how, by thinking of your career as a narrative - with a plot, characters, and an arc - you can increase your awareness of yourself as a leader and become more effective, insightful, and inspiring. Using story as both a metaphor and a process for self-development, Tobin offers activities and questions that help you better understand your own leadership and how others perceive it. What is the plot of your leadership story - your overall goals and purpose? Who are the main characters and what roles do they play? How have the settings of your story influenced it? What are the conflicts that you need to resolve to move toward the ending you intend? But you have to share your story to make it an effective leadership tool. Tobin gives detailed advice on framing your message, finding ways to communicate it, and understanding the role others play in furthering that message. If you don't tell your leadership story, other people will - and it may not be the story you want told. Taking control of your leadership story enables you to more consciously shape the impact you have in the world. You'll be better equipped to make decisions, choose actions that tell the story you want to tell, make stronger connections to those you lead, and ensure that you become the kind of leader you want to be. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Tim Tobin) Wed, 18 Mar 2015 05:29:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Your-Leadership-Story-Audiobook/B00USQ8Y18 thebookvoice.com 03:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Personalized Leadership Development You know how important it is to write down your goals and how thereâs tons of data to suggest it increases your chances of achieving them? This book is like that for the individual leader. I consider myself a student of leaders and leadership and, as a result, I read a lot of leadership books. I can honestly say this one was a pleasant surprise and not similar to anything I have read before. The beauty of the strategy here is that it doesnât tell you how to be a leader. It doesnât tell you how to change. It doesnât provide a blueprint that may or may not be right for you (as so many books/programs do). What the author does is compel the reader to not just think about what kind of leader they want to be, but walks the reader through a series of self-reflection and learning exercises. In a clever manner the author helps the reader record this information and reflections in the book itself. Through this process the reader not only is forced to reflect on the leadership good and bad of themselves and others, but also build a roadmap that is truly personal. Who will this book benefit? In my opinion, as a seasoned leader, I would recommend to anyone from a soon-to-be leader, to an experienced one. I found the book caused me to reflect and think about my own leadership history, and ways to improve, in a manner I havenât been compelled to in quite some time. Leadership Portrait - worth a read If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this book is worth ten thousand leadership studies. As a consultant and as a faculty member who teachers working professional about organizational leadership - I can confidently say that Dr. Tobin's book offers new insight into our leadership practices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Anthology-of-Business-Strategy-Audiobook/B0085E8D0W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 3 IN 1 PACK all 3 books are necessary for every one who wants to survive in today's world and even if you don't believe in my predictions about modern day business structures you will definitely enjoy this. You will be astounded and amazed by the levels of thought and facts, by the psychological effect it will have on you.You must read it and you won't regret it!!!! PS My favorite is "the Prince" as it says in the beginning it is the condensed guide on ruling, it gives you the facts together with a simple and apparent advice, so simple that it should be apparent even to a child, but as always the simplest thing is difficult wisdom of ancients! Would you listen to Anthology of Business Strategy again? Why? yes! well narrated with a real emotion! What did you like best about this story? Musashi has been my mentor since a long time, and that shall prevail! Ancients carries messages of naturalistic wisdom. What does Jim Donaldson and Peter Batchelor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? All narratives are very well done! Giving the real feeling of such profound books is not an easy task. Though, it's very well done in all of the three works! Great quality collection - good value! I was very pleased with this purchase - the Book of Five Rings and Art of War were read with an accent and kept me engaged. The Prince was a bit more tedious in some parts. The quality of the recordings was excellent throughout. I think this is a great value for anyone looking to read the strategy classics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Standing-in-the-Fire-Audiobook/B0041PAVCC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Convener's Professional Development Resource This book is intended for anyone who considers themselves a convener and who often finds themselves in the midst of heated discussion. It is divided into three sections: the first describes the nature of high-heat situations and what it takes to facilitate effectively, the second describes six ways of standing in the fire that are interconnected and occur simultaneously, and the third outlines practices that conveners can use to deepen their abilities to implement the six ways of standing in the fire. Throughout the book, the reader is encouraged to reflect on their own practice and choose areas to strengthen. For practitioners of this kind of work, it's a great resource to revisit repeatedly for long-term professional development. For Alll Who Work with Groups This book is for OD professionals, facilitators, leaders and other who find themselves seeking to work in the group context. It details how one can deal with anger, resentment, high tension and other issues that often take us by surprise. This is not a book about presentations; it is a book about behavioral issues related to working with groups. Dressler tells us how to such things as how to deal with personal hot buttons and how to get along when things dont go as planned. The book can be repetitious. A lot is borrowed from self help books and pop-like psychology. However, the book affirmed methods that I have had to learn the hard way through trial and error. It is a book anyone working with groups might find helpful and informative. Well read by John Pruden.

(BusinessWeek) Members Reviews: Staggeringly Bad There is legitimate and fascinating dialog which surrounds the topic of innovation and the companies such as P&G which have embraced it. This book is largely written by and about Procter & Gamble, and P&G's overt and intentional application of "innovation as a process" as to how they have succeeded in their markets. With those expectations in my mind, I was shocked to find how almost intentionally bad this book is. Half way in I have found it to be a painful regurgitation of their required SEC filings denoting their acquisitions and brand changes, grossly over-saturated with the word "innovation." Apparently the primary author was of the mind that saying the word "innovation" was a reasonable substitute for describing any applied process for bringing innovation into another company or environment. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in the topic of innovation to look for OTHER sources, such as books by the team at IDEO (Consider "The Art of Innovation" and "Ten Faces of Innovation") The author and publisher of this book ought to be ashamed, and I am very sorry I purchased it much less spent the time to listen. Low on substance What didnt you like about Marc Cashmans performance? Marc Cashman is grueling to suffer through as a reader. If he isn't enthused or fascinated by what he's saying, how are we supposed to be as listeners? The guy has no intonation. And on top of that, he takes strange pauses in the middle of thoughts. Any additional comments? AG Lafley clearly didn't put much effort into writing this, which is a huge disappointment considering he has a lot of great stories to share that could be useful. Ram Charan just continuously makes a series of general statements that are just too general to be useful. Together they make a couple of weak storytellers. Worth every sec of your time! Very interesting facts, the narrator is great, worth every penny! I heard the book in two weeks while driving my car...its interesting how someone can use this wasted time that way. The book also mentions aloot about Nokia, Starbucks, & even more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leading-with-a-Clinical-Mind-Audiobook/B076CRR65B Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She has great insight in regards to communications skills! Having an interest in body language, I would have loved to learn a bit more. Also the emotional aspect that was addressed is so much a challenging part of the role in leadership. I think her coaching concept is an excellent thing to implement in this setting. Get the book. I read the book in one sitting as it was that interesting to me. One thing I liked was the fact that Cara presented the points without a lot of fluff. So many books on leadership traits spend half their time telling you how great they, the author, are and less time talking about the core of the book. As a retired senior Marine NCO, if Caraâs book had been available when I was still active duty I would have made it required reading for all my junior troops coming up through the ranks. Even though it was directed toward the medical field, the traits and skills are the same that any aspiring leader needs to be successful. I recommend Caraâs book to anyone who is looking to further their career into management. This is an amazing and much needed book This is an amazing and much needed book. As a nurse educator I can relate to so many topics in this book! It is extremely relevant because we often choose good clinicians to be leaders and forget to give them leadership training and/or equip them with the tools they need to succeed in leadership. Being a good clinician doesn't always translate to being a good leader, it takes a different skill set such as skills taught in this book. This would be an excellent book for anyone in leadership or anyone who is training staff regarding leadership. It breaks things down in an easy to read manner and is written in a way that you can refer back to it quickly as needed. Excellent resource! If you manage anyone, you Need this book. Highly appreciated. I was surprised at the amount of useful information contained in this book. It was presented in an easy to understand format and covered many areas related to management of individuals focused on healthcare services, however I believe it would help in other field's likewise. Covered was how important using the correct language is, how to conflict resolution, why fear isn't an effective tool when your team consists of fellow professionals. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Put-Your-Intuition-to-Work-Audiobook/B01HILDY2O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A New Psychology for Sustainability Leadership Subtitle: The Hidden Power of Ecological Worldviews Author: Steve Schein Narrator: Matt Patterson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-15 Publisher: Steven Schein Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Many books have explored how corporations can play an important role in solving the environmental challenges facing the planet. However, until now, there has been little research about sustainability leadership at the psychological level. In this audiobook, Dr. Steve Schein explores the deeper psychological motivations of sustainability leaders. He shows how these motivations relate to overall effectiveness and capacity to lead transformational change, and he explores the ways in which the complexity of sustainability is driving new approaches to leadership. Drawing on interviews with 75 leaders in more than 40 multinational organizations and NGOs, the author explores how ecological worldviews are expressed in the context of global sustainability practice. By empirically grounding key theories from developmental psychology in sustainability leadership practice, the author encourages us to think about leadership in a different way. A New Psychology for Sustainability Leadership is suitable for an interdisciplinary audience of social scientists, educators, corporate executives, and social entrepreneurs. The insights from this book can be usefully integrated into leadership curriculum and development programs to help the next generation of sustainability leaders respond to global challenges. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Steve Schein) Mon, 24 Aug 2015 11:27:22 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/A-New-Psychology-for-Sustainability-Leadership-Audiobook/B01493YTVY thebookvoice.com 04:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The movement for businesses to be primary driving forces in ... The movement for businesses to be primary driving forces in sustainability efforts is in force, but it is one that needs more attention and guidance. Companies need to develop a vision for how they can make a difference and this mindset generally starts at the top -- in the C suite. Stein's focus on the psychology of sustainability leadership rather than the a basic roadmap of corporate sustainable actions is what sets this book apart from others on the topic. The valuable lessons learned from the interviews conducted by the author should be used in helping to engrain sustainability as a key point of interest for the up and coming generation of leaders. Stein's contribution to "saving our planet" is a noble one and this book can make a difference. Scheir gives an excellent perspective on the future of ecological movements Scheir gives an excellent perspective on the future of ecological movements! Finally a well-rounded and inclusive look at what it takes to inspire all of us to get involved with climate change-and in a manner that builds bridges rather than placing blame. Thank you for the great book! Opening the Conversation Much has been written about the mainstreaming of sustainability efforts in the corporate world. But very little has been written about the mindset and worldview of the people making that change. Thus, this repurposed doctoral dissertation steps into the breech. It opens a much-needed conversation about the shifts we need to takeânot just our own small groups but the entire business cultureâso that sustainability thinking percolates even more deeply into the culture. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Unlocking-Potential-Discussions-Audiobook/B014I3C6VK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

How did Microsoft achieve all of this in so short a time? What was the true nature of the Microsoft environment in the beginning, and what are the secrets behind its triumph?

Members Reviews: Some interesting history but... Originally published in 1999 during the dot-com boom, some parts of this book are a bit dated. Written as a series of mini-biographies and interviews of a group of early Microsoft employees, it does contain some interesting historical insights to Microsoft but the stories are mostly bland and repetitive. The "maniacal work ethic" theme became especially grating after chapter 5. The narration was well-paced and clear but somewhat monotone. Overall, this book pales in comparison to similar works such as iWoz and iCon. Just some bios, badly narrated This book contains short bios of 12 people who were one of the first people to work for Microsoft. A hard-copy is hard to find, but the audio book version is still available. It's fun to hear the stories and anecdotes of these people, but that's just about it really. The narrator read in a monotone manner with an annoying sounding voice. Like a computer generate voice with some intonation. The book does not reveal much about Microsoft as a company. It just tells some stories about life at Microsoft as an employee at that time. Junk. Stay away from this book. Audible... You should offer a refund to anyone who payed for this sad excuse for a book. Half the story This is an entertaining and interesting book. These are obvioulsy smart and hard-working people, and rightly stand as an inspiration to us. The reader should keep in mind, however, that much of Microsoft's success is also due to ruthless and predatory tactics. Truely awful It is such a shame. Imagine a party where everyone is telling the best reditions (often exaggerated) of their life choices and career path. These party goes will be slapping each other on the back for their good judgement, their luck, their brilliance. They are unlikely to tell the truth such that you would ever use the story as a basis for your own decision making. The story is also unlikely to provide access into what actually happened so that you get a sense of being there or give lessons to repeat it. Record these stories at your next party. Transcribe them. Publish as a book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Power-of-Dignity-The-Thoughtful-Leaders-Model-for-Attracting-and-Keeping-Stakeholders-Audiobook/B01B250RWC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Power of Dignity: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Attracting and Keeping Stakeholders Author: Pete Geissler Narrator: Philip Andrew Hodges Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: The Expressive Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book examines first the very significant differences between managing for dignity and for stockholder value, then a number of successful businesses that are managed profitably and sustainably to protect and enhance the dignity of employees, customers, and other stakeholders, albeit in different ways and styles. The managers of those firms invariably ignore short-term accounting figures; they know that their businesses are much more than numbers and behave accordingly. The evidence in favor of managing for dignity is largely anecdotal and empirical - which, some philosophers opine, is the source of all knowledge. I've added a smattering of statistical evidence by comparing such broad metrics as employees and customer retention in 2003 and 2013 for the businesses profiled part two. So you who are looking for the detailed, quantifiable data of operating statements and balance sheets to validate the premise won't find it. Nevertheless, the experiences of the several contributors support what we like to call "conventional wisdom" and which the lawyers call "truth on its face". Perhaps I can call on our nation's founders for further support: "We hold these truths to be self-evident...." If perchance I am ever reincarnated and need a job, I want it to be with one of the managers profiled in this book or their disciples, and I want to live by his or her principles.

Members Reviews: Dignity in business What did you love best about The Power of Dignity: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Attracting and Keeping Stakeholders? . Dignity ... why does it seem so rare in business and in other parts of society such as politics when it is the obvious route to higher efficiency of organizations of all sizes and types? Adopting the principles put forth in this book will lead to a more humane, compassionate society, just what many of us want for ourselves and for future generations. Dignity is Success What made the experience of listening to The Power of Dignity: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Attracting and Keeping Stakeholders the most enjoyable? The anecdotes in this readable book literally prove that treating employees and customers with dignity is the route to sustainable success. I was particularly entranced with the story about the bartender who popularized an entire hotel. I'm betting that you will be too. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fortune-Makers-Audiobook/B06WD5JGK3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Chinese companies are emerging on the global stage as never before, and their leadership lessons are invaluable in understanding and coping with their growing commercial presence worldwide.

It is an astonishing turn of events.â They go on to point out, âThe growth and ascendance of Chinese companies are products of the strategies and leadership of those who created, built, and now manage those enterprises. The invisible hand of the market conditioned their goals and decisions, but their actions have constituted a strong visible hand. We want to understand that visible hand, how they direct it, what they want from it, and where it is taking their enterprises.â What is âThe China Wayâ? Useem, Singh, Neng Liang, and Cappelli focus on companies that include Alibaba Group, Geely, Haier, Huawei, Lenovo Group, Vanke Group, and Xiaomi. They examine seven distinguishing features among the leaders who have created Chinaâs great global companies: 1. Their Own Way Forward: Without precedents. âby finding and fashioning their own way. the founders put their own unique imprints on their enterprises.â 2. The Learning Company: âChinese executives have carried their own learning experience into the firm. They have insisted that their company be a learning organization with greater zeal than is common in the West.â 3. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Habit-of-Winning-Audiobook/B00P8E0Q5C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A collective wisdom classic I read Engaging Emergence as a foot soldier for the transpartisan movement, and in particular, as an evangelist for empowering deliberative democracy. I believe that the path to a just and sustainable world that works for all begins with leveraging our collective compassion, creativity and wisdom. Peggy's questions for engaging emergence dovetail exactly: 1. How do we disrupt coherence compassionately? 2. How do we engage disruptions creatively? 3. How do we renew coherence wisely? Her summaries of several processes for extracting collective wisdom -- Appreciative Inquiry; Art of Hosting; Circle Process; Dynamic Facilitation; Open Space Technology; Scenario Thinking; and The World Café -- clarified my understanding of those processes. All of them have a simple foundation -- respecting one another. Without that, we won't suspend judgment, and we won't truly listen to those with whom we disagree. Suspending judgment and truly listening are vital to co-creatively discovering the win-win solutions that are so glaringly missing in our currently dysfunctional and divisive "democracy". Engaging Emergence joins my growing shelf of collective wisdom classics, and I expect to return to it many times. A rationale for hope A few years ago this book would probably have been incomprehensible to me--at most, academically interesting, chaos and complexity theory, the human ability to self-organize. Then Mid-Eastern dictatorships began to fall like stacked dominoes enabled by a network of communications as complex as a nervous systems. No one expected it. The abstract became real with a force like rolling thunder. There is an old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. These are interesting times, uncertain times, chaotic times. If you base your expectations of the future solely upon the past, you're like to despair for humanity and the earth itself. Holman's point in this book is that higher orders of organization can emerge from complex systems. There is reason to hope and reason to act, to recognize and embrace what is emerging from the noise and confusion, from the dust of our collapsing expectations. There is no guarantee, no certainty of success, but we need hope in order to act or be paralyzed by fear. We need new ways to understand ourselves and to act collaboratively. A lot of this book is about the methodologies being developed to do just that. The rest of the books is about why it's important. Some of her advice may sound paradoxical but our current wisdom is what has brought us to the edge of the abyss. A new wisdom is necessary to lead us back. That new wisdom may in fact be the oldest of all. Dealing with Complexity This is a book you'll want to own if you lead teams or participate in change efforts where the issues and opportunities you're facing are complex. Peggy Holman shares the principles and practices for creatively engaging with one another in dialogue. This book is filled with wisdom and insight for those who are new in this work and for those looking for new ways to engage with organizations, community groups, and teams. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Mindful-Business-Audiobook/B071HLGJK2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Big Thing Subtitle: How to Complete Your Creative Project Even If You're a Lazy, Self-Doubting Procrastinator Like Me Author: Phyllis Korkki Narrator: Sandy Rustin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: A New York Times business journalist explains why it's important for people to pursue big creative projects and identifies both the obstacles and the productive habits that emerge on the path to completion - including her own experience writing this book. Whether it's the great American novel or a groundbreaking new app, many people want to create a Big Thing, but finding the motivation to get started, let alone complete the work, can be daunting. In The Big Thing, New York Times business writer and editor Phyllis Korkki combines real-life stories, science, and insights from her own experience to illuminate the factors that drive people to complete big creative projects - and the obstacles that threaten to derail success. In the course of creating her own Big Thing - this book - Korkki explores the individual and collaborative projects of others: from memoirs, art installations, and musical works to theater productions, small businesses, and charities. She identifies the main aspects of a Big Thing, including meaningful goals, focus and effort, the difficulties posed by the demands of everyday life, and the high risk of failure and disappointment. Korkki also breaks down components of the creative process and the characteristics that define it and offers her thoughts on avoiding procrastination, staying motivated, scheduling a routine, and overcoming self-doubt and the restrictions of a day job. Filled with inspiring stories, practical advice, and a refreshing dose of honesty, The Big Thing doesn't minimize the negative side of such pursuits - including the fact that big projects are hard to complete and raise difficult questions about one's self-worth. Inspiring, wise, humorous, and good natured, The Big Thing is a meditation on the importance of self-expression and purpose.

Title: The Big Thing Subtitle: How to Complete Your Creative Project Even If You're a Lazy, Self-Doubting Procrastinator Like Me Author: Phyllis Korkki Narrator: Sandy Rustin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: A New York Times business journalist explains why it's important for people to pursue big creative projects and identifies both the obstacles and the productive habits that emerge on the path to completion - including her own experience writing this book. Whether it's the great American novel or a groundbreaking new app, many people want to create a Big Thing, but finding the motivation to get started, let alone complete the work, can be daunting. In The Big Thing, New York Times business writer and editor Phyllis Korkki combines real-life stories, science, and insights from her own experience to illuminate the factors that drive people to complete big creative projects - and the obstacles that threaten to derail success. In the course of creating her own Big Thing - this book - Korkki explores the individual and collaborative projects of others: from memoirs, art installations, and musical works to theater productions, small businesses, and charities. She identifies the main aspects of a Big Thing, including meaningful goals, focus and effort, the difficulties posed by the demands of everyday life, and the high risk of failure and disappointment. Korkki also breaks down components of the creative process and the characteristics that define it and offers her thoughts on avoiding procrastination, staying motivated, scheduling a routine, and overcoming self-doubt and the restrictions of a day job. Filled with inspiring stories, practical advice, and a refreshing dose of honesty, The Big Thing doesn't minimize the negative side of such pursuits - including the fact that big projects are hard to complete and raise difficult questions about one's self-worth. Inspiring, wise, humorous, and good natured, The Big Thing is a meditation on the importance of self-expression and purpose.

A Must for All Creatives Listening to this book was like someone entering my deepest doubts and disappointments for struggling to create and finish my big thing. It was a cathartic experience to listen and understand why big things can be so difficult yet remain irresistible to tackle. This book is for anyone looking to bring their inner artist to life. It will provide the motivation and support to keep you going to complete your big thing. Thank you Phyllis for finding a way to bring this inspiration to all of us artists. The reader is also excellent to listen to. More memoir than self-help What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? This is a strong memoir about someone writing a book, the book that you're reading. It details Phyllis's ups and downs, both as a writer and a person. Interspersed are stories of successful people. You get a ringside seat of Phyllis's struggles and successes as she writes the book that you are reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-One-Day-Contract-Audiobook/B00F5B3LLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The good, bad and ugly - choose good I enjoyed it. The story is so much more than the title. It is very clear why he is a great coach. I am not a basketball fan but the life lessons/coaching transcend the sport very well. Great book from an amazing coach! Love this book! Coach Pitino is a great example of how to overcoming adversity to win again and again. A great read for anyone looking to get back on top of your game! cheater. mmm huh was see eff was huh set add guy Dec d f g g g Disapointing Would you try another book from Rick Pitino and/or Peter Berkrot? I am a big Rick Pitino fan. This book was a disappointment. (1) Come on Rick...you have to read your own books! Peter Berkrot mispronounces a lot of words and is just terrible! I will never buy another book read by Peter Berkrot. Bottom line on this book: Pitino is trying to save his image for cheating on his wife and not living up to the principals he always preaches! And by not reading his own audiobook...came across to me like a complete cop-out! Goes against everything Pitino always preached in the past....'you want to give a message....say it yourself." What do you think your next listen will be? Not a Pitino/Berkrot book....that is for sure. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Berkrot? Yes - You write it...you should read it. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The One-Day Contract? All the B.S. about Pitino trying to cover his ass for an extra marital affair. A Fun, Basketball-Laced, Inspirational Listen Most could benefit from signing a one-day contract with themselves. I know I can. This book is a fun listen with many anecdotes from Rick Pitino's storied coaching career. Even though I'm not a basketball fan, I enjoyed his retelling of exciting and disappointing times in the game. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Bootstrap-Finance-Audiobook/B002V0GD9Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This work is very light on content and seems to take 40odd minutes to say "Some businesses have been started without raising millions before any business was done". Trouble is, it tells us very little about those businesses or why and how they followed the organic growth route. Save you money. Interesting data collection but hard to follow Is there anything you would change about this book? I'm not sure I can give a good review because I didn't really follow much of what was said. I liked that he had a methodical approach to interviewing start-up founders but I didn't really get a good feel for what he was suggesting as the take aways. Don't start a business without this! Research points out the fallacy of much that is taught about startup. Listen and learn how successful businesses really start. OLD - Late 1980's Examples Would you try another book from Amar V. Bhide and/or Deaver Brown? Only Current works Has Bootstrap Finance turned you off from other books in this genre? No How did the narrator detract from the book? Narrator was very good You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Mnnah Any additional comments? Shame on Audible for including such a dated, stale and irrelevant document. All cases and companies discussed are circa 1990!! Disappointing This was a very disappointing selection. Many of the References are 25 years old and DATED. Furthermore, the 40 minutes of this program is spent torturing the basic concept that some start ups had money and some did not. I can not imagine a demographic this book would appeal to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Effective-Board-Member-Audiobook/B076PLZ43W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Product was received in good condition and loved the price! Given as a gift Get it, read it, take notes, do something. You'll laugh your way to profiting from Kerr's latest book. I thought I knew something (anything) about customer service, employee engagement and corporate culture. If I did I wouldn't have read this gem in one sitting. Packed full of examples that are often hilarious and always instructive (Ok, the Duck walk at the Peabody in Memphis, maybe that was just for fun), you'll be taking notes by page 11 (learn why Zappos is a little fun and weird). Even if you are not the Director of first impressions (Zappos again), you will want to check out the chapters, like: Trumpeting Success at Work, and What a Great Idea and Why Humor is No Joke. Get it, read it, take notes, do something. The Humor Advantage - Funny can make money! Can funny make money? Can you really laugh all the way to the bank? In his book The Humor Advantage, Michael Kerr says âYes. You Can!â Michael Kerr, author and Hall of Fame speaker, makes the argument that cultures that nurture humor in the workplace will be more productive and more attractive to all-star employees. Kerr says that businesses with humor as a core value will have less conflict and stress. They will build trusting internal relationships, break down silos and facilitate more creativity and innovation. How does this happen inside a business? Kerr says that humor can change power relationships allowing employees to feel more secure and empowered. This will give people the foundation they need to make suggestions, show initiative and follow-up on ideas. Kerr has found that leaders in these effective businesses will be able to laugh at themselves and this makes them more approachable and open to new (and potentially profitable) ideas. What about the effect of humor on customers? In his latest book The Humor Advantage Kerr cites a number of studies that show customers are willing to pay more to salespersons who inject a little humor into their relationships and negotiations. One study cited showed that simply sending a funny, inoffensive cartoon to customers generated higher levels of trust and 15% larger profits. Kerr writes that any veteran salesperson knows that selling is about building relationships. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Diversitythe-Challenges-for-Leadership-Audiobook/B002UZMYS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Content a 5, Narration a 1 This book has such a great message. There are several powerful messages throughout the book. The narration of book is terrible. I mean it is really hard to listen to the narrator Red Carroll. If the content was not so good I would have not listened. I had to ding my overall rating because of the narration not because of the book. I would recommend this book to any leader. After managing people for 10 years, starting and building a company for 15 years and now coaching CEO's on leadership for the last 4 years this books taught me some valuable lessons. I know what he did but never knew how he thought. What made the experience of listening to The Wisdom of Alexander the Great the most enjoyable? Relating the techniques he utilized in each situation. Knowing what others had done and were most likely to do - and then to do something completely unexpected which would guarantee his victory. He also studied animals and knew how they performed in battle and used that to defeat his enemy. He also knew when to tear down and destroy a enemy leader and when to reinstall and make those that he conquered even more powerful. He wore a plume in his helmet not only to let his men know that he was in front of them fighting, it also drew his men toward him, making where he was fighting the focal point of the battle. They had to protect him because he protected them. It also showed the enemy that where Alexander was, was not the place to be. He also was smart enough to give the enemy openings to escape. He knew that a cornered rat will fight to the death whereas one with an escape route will utilize that escape route when the time is right. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wisdom of Alexander the Great? When he recognized that his (then to be horse) was spooked by his own shadow and then turned the horse toward the sun and took control. Which scene was your favorite? When the war chariots came at his men. He knew that a horse would not run directly AT a man but rather BESIDE a man or group of men. That allowed Alexanders men to trap the horses between two quickly formed ranks of Hoplites and THEN when the team of horses were fully committed the Hoplites filled in the back of the formation and the team was killed with the sarassa pikes, followed by the driver and bowman being killed once the horses were stopped in the middle of their trap formation. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When he realized he could no longer go further and returned to go home. Any additional comments? He was GREAT. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Leadership-Test-Audiobook/B006FJJC9A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a good quick read for somebody (young) thinking about going into leadership who has zero experience . Anyone with any time leading people, it is a refresher at best. Great. Quick read. A ton of information and reflection... I invite anyone who isn't even looking towards leadership to read this book. :) So the question is: Will You? This wonderful "one sitting" read is an absolute must for anyone that is even thinking about adding the term "leader" close to their name. In a delightful story style Timothy Clark weaves a tale that will get you looking very closely at how you "show up" in your world. You'll be passing this along. Easy read and a helpful reminder. Easy read and helpful as a reminder into why the best leaders are not always found in huge influential roles. Great book Great book!!!!! The message was awesome & the story was engaging.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: "Choosing ignorance might seem a terrible quality to exhibit in your workplace - a sure path down the stairs and out the corporate door. But stick with me here and see how it leads you upward. You'll understand why great leaders embrace ignorance and use it to elevate their people to new heights of achievement." A conductor in front of his orchestra is an iconic symbol of leadership - but what does a true maestro actually do to enable the right sort of cooperation among his players, leading to an excellent performance? If you think his primary job is making sure the musicians play the right notes, prepare to be surprised. For 20 years, in addition to conducting orchestras around the world, Itay Talgam has been a "conductor of people" for companies large and small, for CEOs of Fortune 500 companies as well as start-up entrepreneurs and beyond. Drawing on his decades of experience on the podium, he teaches nonmusicians how conducting really works and how the conductor's art can help leaders in any field. In his lectures (including an acclaimed TED talk) and now in this audiobook, Talgam shows why imposing your vision on your people is likely to backfire. Great conductors may know in advance how they want a piece to be played, but they make room for the creativity and passion of their musicians. They respect the gap between the baton and the instruments. They focus more on listening than on speaking. And they embrace their own ignorance, knowing that others may have better ideas than the conductor can imagine. Talgam explores the nuances of leadership by describing the distinctive styles of six world-famous conductors: the commanding Riccardo Muti; the fatherly and passionate Arturo Toscanini; the calm Richard Strauss; the guru-like Herbert von Karajan; the dancing Carlos Kleiber; and the master of dialogue, Leonard Bernstein. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Itay Talgam) Tue, 19 May 2015 02:10:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Ignorant-Maestro-Audiobook/B00X8S0YPM thebookvoice.com 05:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Be that maestro! You have 70 employees, a pressing deadline, famous competitors and hundreds of difficult clients waiting for the product just in front of you. What is your best strategy: to rule by precise orders and thinly veiled threats? To let every member flow creatively under your benevolent leadership? Would you lead by creative inspiration, by ruthless autocracy, by carefully engineered tactics or by your charm alone? You have to make a choice because you're the conductor now, at least for the next 220 pages: What will it be tonight, total freedom or total control? A little bit of both, of course. Itay Talgam writes beautifully, with an eloquent prose and timely anecdotes that are so rare in management books. His analysis of the 6-types of leadership, as illustrated by six famous conductors, is illuminating and should be required reading for business students and struggling politicians, for veteran managers and aspiring leaders. But above all this is a thought-provoking story about Empowerment, this tricky process that only truly great leaders learned to master. Itay Talgam is the ideal mentor for it -- funny, erudite, brilliant and immensely inspiring. There are good and bad surprises There are good and bad surprises. It was written with a much bigger reader circle in mind and would allow the book to be grouped under 'leadership', among other business and management books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-E-Myth-Optometrist-Audiobook/B00HMAE9BC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I applaud Dr. Uglum for writing his half (there aren't many books on this subject) but Gerber's half was generic and not helpful. It almost felt like Gerber took his existing emyth book and pasted the word "optometrist" into it. Also, I've never read a book with as many dedications and shout-outs in my life ... seriously, the first 15 minutes of audio can be skipped. The book doesn't cover the ethics of how Dr. Uglum hires other optometrists ... does he make them partners, or just use them to "duplicate" himself and keep them as employees forever? I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable doing that to others in my own profession, even though this is the "e-myth way." Finally, I wasn't wild about the Gerber sales pitches or the nutraceutical stuff. Other than all those negatives, a decent listen and both authors did a great job with narration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Powerful-Conversations-Audiobook/B0767NRYV5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a redacted summary of select messages. Conducting a powerful conversation is but one tool in the behavioral toolbox, but it is an important one. This is one methodology, deserves more than 4 stars, less than 5. ï Part 1: defines powerful conversations ... what, structure, objectives, impact, output ï Part 2: practice - how leaders use powerful conversations to foster trust, drive change, motivate and retain people, deliver their own special message ï Appendix: toolbox - summary, model, leadership assessment instrument, trust tool, change tool, retention tool Part 1 Overview - Importance of quality conversations that involve shared feelings, beliefs, and ideas with exhange of wants and needs that translate into mutual commitments and action steps. - Link between powerful conversations and high-impact leaders - the importance of trust and the say/do relationship. - Story of a high-impact leader in action Stages of a Powerful Conversation, pp. 22-23, immediately followed by discussion of barriers and importance of listening 1) Advancing the agenda - expression of honest feelings or sincere needs with desired outcome, goals. Constitutes request for help and solicits contribution. 2) Shared learning - mutual exploration of issues with skillful probing of wants and needs of other participant(s); place to discover hidden agendas and connect facts with underlying assumptions. 3) Stronger relationship - closing stage to make sure participants have nailed down next steps and are open about what they will do to make those commitments for action come to life.

You have to be bad at leading others before you can learn to be good at it. Sooner or later, every leader runs into a wall of incompetence, weakness, or hubris that Treasurer calls "the leadership kick in the ass". Do you derail or learn from scraping your knees? Treasurer finds that the most difficult problem leaders face is finding the right midpoint between overconfidence and indecisiveness or weakness. Just about all leaders land on the wrong side of this tough balance at some point - and that's when they get their asses kicked.

Members Reviews: Absolutely awful What would have made Don't Just Manage - Lead! better? Here's the thing...the book itself was not so bad. Lots of cheeky stories, some kind of unbelievable but I could still appreciate the message in them and the overall messages from the book. That being said, the Narrator was without a doubt in my mind, the worst I've ever heard. At times it was downright laughable...he pronounced the PLAIN ENGLISH word 'music' as 'muzak'! Paradigm was para-did-jim...what??? Not just that, the recording quality was crappy. He had weird pauses where he couldn't keep up with the reading or stumbled over words all over the place! How did this guy get to be a narrator? Seriously, how? How?? And not just the narrator...sometimes the volume was high, sometimes low. This really seemed like amateur hour here. I think I would have gotten a lot better benefits from reading the book. Shaking my head. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger, frustration, befuddlement Are you a true leader, or just a manager? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes definitely - the narration was easy to listen to, smooth and crisp. What was one of the most memorable moments of Don't Just Manage - Lead!? When the author shared with us the story of a mistake that cost a company a half million dollars. He was rightly terrified of telling his boss, and dreaded making the phone call. His boss ended up essentially brushing it off, telling Art he knew that it wouldnt happen again. To have a leader who believes in you that much, is quite incredible. As Art says True leaders expect, aid and encourage honest mistakes by their employees. They show employees that honest mistakes are the methods by which we progress. Have you listened to any of Chase Ramseys other performances before? How does this one compare? No, this is my first Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Nothing too extreme - just made me smile and appreciate the fact there are still companies/employers out there who truly respect and value their employees. Any additional comments? My first thought after listening to this book is, how can *I* work for Mr. Coombs? This book is a fantastic resource for pretty much ANY individual in the work force, whether you are low man on the totem pole, or CEO. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/10-Values-of-High-Impact-Leaders-Audiobook/B077PBJ1YY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Four Stars Great reading materials Four Stars A reinforcment of the Defining Influence book with more details into the character traits of hi impact leaders. Authentic, Energetic, Practical, Relevant This is a great, concise and powerful book for anyone who needs a "jump start" or is simply looking to invest in themselves! Mack's authenticity and energy jump off the pages as he provides great motivation and challenge for anyone who desires to step up their game, both personally and professionally. I have thoroughly enjoyed every page and have had to "highlight" just about every other statement or quote! Take the time to read it and, more importantly, take the time to put the principles to work in your own life. You won't regret it! Penetrating & Effective! The '10 Values of High Impact Leaders' has made a significant 'impact' on my life. The wisdom shared in this thought provoking work on leadership has influenced me to focus more diligently on the character I model at work, at home, in public, and at play. As Mack writes in The Value of Modeling, âSomeone is always watching you.â That statement has changed my thoughts and beliefs to improve my actions and behaviors not only professionally, but also as a Father to 3 amazing children. Mack has reminded me that who we are is more important than what we know and that our character must remain congruent. Mack will not only elevate your thinking on character, but also on the competent mindset of effective leadership with his âto-the-pointâ narrative and profound wisdom. Anyone who learns and lives by the 10 values of high impact leaders is destined to lead a more intentional and impactful life. Mack's book has quickly become a valuable go-to reference in my leadership library. I highly recommend this work for anyone wanting to grow themselves and expand their ability to influence others. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Power-of-Influential-Leadership-Audiobook/B01NANYQC9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great leaders have always had an undue impact on the ... This is an unusual book on leadership. It is the distilled wisdom of an American businessman and philanthropist, but that in itself is not unusual as there are literally thousands of books of this kind. There are three facts that make this book unusual. First, Mandel was described by the business guru, Peter Drucker, in a Forbes magazine article as one of the three businessmen he admired most. (The other two were Jack Welsh of GE and Andy Grove of Intel.) Second, his company, Premier Industrial Corporation, was the lead anecdote in a Business Week cover story on customer service, and superlative customer service is always the result of a business that is well managed. Finally, Mandel is a self-made dollar billionaire; his is a genuine story of rags to riches. The title of the book, âIt is all about who you hireââ encapsulates much of the wisdom of the book. Great leaders have always had an undue impact on the organizations they lead whether the organization is a non-profit, a for-profit or a country. This position has led to Mandel insisting that only âA playersâ occupy leadership positions in his own companies and in the many public benefit organizations he served and those he established with his own wealth. In a conversation with Mandel, Drucker asserted that you must always put your very best person into your greatest opportunity. When Mandel countered with the question: what if your best person is dentist and your greatest opportunity is a brass foundry, Drucker replied that the best person would fast realise what he could not do and fast find the right person to do. This begs the question - what is an âA player?â Mandel has five criteria: Intellect, values, passion, work ethic, and experience - in this order. The complexity of modern business requires that the leader has intellectual firepower, that ability to analyse facts correctly, interrogate situations cleverly, apply thoughtful judgement, and make good decisions. Fortunately, there are many ways to see a personâs intellect and Mandel favours school and university grades because they are taken over long periods and therefore are more reliable than a quick test or flash of brilliance in an interview. Values are harder to discern, but how a candidate talks about their parents, teacher and role models does provide clues. Intellect and values without passion wonât get results you require from the leader. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-by-Example-Audiobook/B007Z1S3LA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Very few of us are leaders all the time, in everything we do, but all of us can become a leader in specific situations. In a committee, in business, at a social club, or religious institution - we all find a time in our lives when we can lead. Few people set out knowingly to become leaders; rather, they see a need and find a way of dealing with it, and often others choose to follow their example. Based on a talk that he has given to more than sixty thousand people in at least seven countries, the LEADERSHIP mnemonic that Dr. Chopra explains is as follows: Drawing from his experience as faculty dean for continuing education for Harvard Medical School, as well as from the writings and lives of great leaders throughout history, this easy-to-read, inspiring book serves as a reminder and a guide to becoming leaders in our own lives.

Clouse, MD, Deaconess Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School) Great leaders may move mountains, but first they must move people - by inspiring and connecting with them.

He goes to the heart of leadership to reveal that qualities such as integrity, empathy, humility, and passion are essential for anyone who wants to harness the talents of others to accomplish a shared goal.

Maybe it was just me but this book was just not that interesting. I was hoping to find some nuggets of Steve Jobs wisdom and this book just didn't have it. I might give it another chance in a couple of months but as of right now I was not impressed. not very engaging narrator sounded like he had an handfull of smoke and chewing on it.. the story was not cohesive, bits and bobs from jobs career... not recommended I love this book Where does Leading Apple with Steve Jobs rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's definitely in my top five. I've learned a ton of practical principles I can use to run my business. Which scene was your favorite? The Pirates not the navy. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes but it took me two days. I even had to take a lot of detours whiles driving to make my journey longer. It is truly an inspiring book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-Tools-of-Titans-by-Timothy-Ferriss-Audiobook/B06VWZFGQ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Too much about how great she is All she talks about is how great and gay she is. I wanted a book that would help me lead and manage. I really don't care if she is straight or gay but apparently she wants me to care. She says it over and over in between telling us how great everyone thinks she is and how she did this or that for some health system. I have not gleaned one point that I can use. Nothing to apply to my life I am a curious person and I own a business. I amazed myself by not finding anything in this book that I endured to the end. Karen Saltus' voice made me wonder what she maybe like as a person... this book was that useless. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-7-Habits-of-Highly-Effective-Virtual-Teams-Audiobook/B00R1XWSHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Beyond Competitive Advantage Subtitle: How to Solve the Puzzle of Sustaining Growth While Creating Value Author: Todd Zenger Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Your company is turning in regular profits every year, and its market share is only getting bigger. Competitors can't touch you. So why is your stock price so sluggish? The answer is as simple as it is cruel: Investors aren't interested in history, and they already know you're profitable and competitive - that knowledge is baked into your stock price. The hard reality is that a competitive advantage just isn't enough. Investors want companies to surprise them with unexpected value, which means that you can outperform market expectations only if you as a leader know how to find, create, and deliver a series of multiple competitive advantages. This is why a corporate theory is so important. A good corporate theory provides a compass for those at the strategic helm, guiding their decisions about what assets and activities to pursue, what investments to make, and what strategies to adopt. Behind every long-term corporate success story lies a basic theory about how that company creates value. In Beyond Competitive Advantage, strategy professor Todd Zenger describes what makes a great corporate theory and helps listeners understand the many tensions and trade-offs they'll face as they apply the theory to meet the challenge of market expectations. Based on years of research and analysis, Beyond Competitive Advantage provides managers and executives with a framework for both sustaining value and creating growth. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Todd Zenger) Wed, 07 Jun 2017 21:51:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Beyond-Competitive-Advantage-Audiobook/B0721116JV thebookvoice.com 04:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Don't experiment with a business idea before you have a corporate hypothesis The best part of the book comes at the end where it exposes the danger of Lean Methodologies, of pivoting and experimenting without first thinking. The author suggests first having a corporate hypothesis before going out and experimenting. It sounds logical, but so many startups fail to do so today... to properly define the problem they're solving, to understand who else has tried and why they failed / how the solutions were suboptimal. Why? The business culture of today prioritizes action over thinking. We feel more valuable and important fighting fires than we do researching and thinking. So we act without much thought. Overall a great read. The author has many lessons learned from case studies along with frameworks to help develop a corporate hypothesis. Complements Good Strategy / Bad Strategy well. A Strategy for Strategies This book begins by giving an overview of the history, study, and application of corporate strategy. Todd then makes the case that while these strategies have worked, they in no way correlate to long term corporate success. The book then outlines what makes up a successful corporate theory - a strategy for strategies. This guides how companies can properly allocate the limitless combinations of assets, resources, and activities they have to juggle in order to create value. Todd explains up front that this isn't a guide to building your corporate theory, it's meant to give you the tools to know whether your corporate theory is going to help you drive long term value. If you're interested in expanding your knowledge of business strategy, you have to pick up this book. Creating untapped value and finding the right strategic position. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Amazing-Things-Will-Happen-Audiobook/B00BBY2OXK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Having bought the book, I couldn't wait for the audio version. CC is an engaging and entertaining speaker, and his enthusiasm really comes through in the audio version. What was one of the most memorable moments of Amazing Things Will Happen? For some reason, the chapter about Ducks really struck a chord with me. Often times, being a duck, I am considered either complacent or uncaring - CC felt like he was talking about ME, saying it's ok not to "sweat the small stuff." Plus, hearing him quack through my car stereo was priceless. Have you listened to any of C. C. Chapmans other performances before? How does this one compare? CC is always an engaging speaker, so this version of his book definitely didn't let me down. I've heard a lot of "boring" books that are supposed to be uplifting and inspirational - but CC is different - you can feel the energy and honesty through his words. Any additional comments? I could have picked up the audio version for free as part of my audible subscription in only a few days. BUT, I just couldn't wait and popped on it. I was not disappointed. It is a great listen in the car as you are getting motivated to start your day. Not as good as i expected What did you like best about Amazing Things Will Happen? What did you like least? I like that it's HIS story and not a fabricated "you should do". I didnt like that it was JUST a story... Would you be willing to try another book from C. C. Chapman? Why or why not? possibly. Remarkably Unremarkable This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone very new to the working world - as in right out of high school - might appreciate it as general, shot-in-the-arm, rah-rah encouragement with which to embark on their career, but those with a more extended employment trajectory will find it old hat, motivational-speaker style hyperbole whose main attribute is its merciful brevity. What was most disappointing about C.

Voilleque Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-12 Publisher: Best Practices Media LLC Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Evolutionaries are people who lead companies, systems, industries, communities and even nations through transformative change. You can find Evolutionaries hidden inside organizations - often their role is on the periphery. They are the people in the Research and Development Department, the innovation labs, the skunk works, but there are other times when they are more central. We believe that time is now. As we emerge from the Great Recession, the economic landscape has changed. The game is different now, and it will never go back to the way it was. Whether we like it or not, the new economy demands leaders that are agile, adaptable, innovative and visionary. Today's organizations need Evolutionaries more than ever before. Evolutionaries are not new. They have always been around. But what is different now is that they are the ones that are transforming the economy for a successful future. So whether you are an Evolutionary, you know an Evolutionary, or you are looking for one, this book is for you. If you can harness the capabilities of the Evolutionary leader and align them to your organization's strategic vision, you are golden. If not, you will only fall further behind the curve. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Randy Harrington) Mon, 01 Oct 2012 15:13:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Evolutionaries-Audiobook/B009HUF1TY thebookvoice.com 03:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Evolutionaries Transformational Leadership This book is a concise guide to those 'Evolutionary' employees that revel in organizational change and suffer through static business periods. It provides an insightful glimpse of how to identify and optimize these employees in your organization. I enjoyed the surveys and quizzes; active reader participation in a business book was refreshing. The chapter on Evolutionary Communication, with its reference to social cognition research, was well written and highly informative. The chapter on Evolutionary Teams explicitly clarified a number of intuitive notions for me, and also provided a nifty, practical recipe for forming revolutionary teams. I would liked to have read more about how to utilize Evolutionaries during static periods in the business cycle, and additional references to academic personality research would have sated my appetite for rigorous, peer-reviewed models. But apart from it being too short, this is a nice pocket guide to an employee type that is often hard to manage. Wonderful for the Non-Profit World Having spent 45 years plus in the non-profit world. I totally wish this information had been available sooner. Non-profits are needing to really update their "business models" and act like businesses. The most successful non-profits have discovered this fact. There are "Evolutionaries" abounding in the volunteer world. Every Executive Director and Board Member should utilize this easy reading, interesting book. This book is worth reading Evolutionaries is one of many business books I've read over the years. None have delivered a similiar message in such a compact form. I found the book to be consistent with the points and not preachy in making them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/What-Great-Service-Leaders-Know-and-Do-Creating-Breakthroughs-in-Service-Firms-Audiobook/B013FATHN2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/517/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: What Great Service Leaders Know and Do: Creating Breakthroughs in Service Firms Author: Leonard A. Schlesinger, James L. Heskett, W. Earl Sasser Jr. Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Entire service businesses have been built around the ideas of Heskett, Sasser, and Schlesinger, pioneers in the world of service. Now they test their ideas against the actual experiences of successful and unsuccessful practitioners as well as against demands of the future in a book service leaders around the world will use as a guide for years to come. The authors cover every aspect of optimal service leadership: the best hiring, training, and workplace organization practices; the creation of operating strategies around areas such as facility design, capacity planning, queue management, and more; the use - and misuse - of technology in delivering top-level service; and practices that can transform loyal customers into "owners". Looking ahead, the authors describe the world of great service leaders in which "both/and" thinking replaces trade-offs. It's a world in which new ideas will be tested against the sine qua non of the "service trifecta" - wins for employees, customers, and investors. And it's a world in which the best leaders admit that they don't have the answers and create organizations that learn, innovate, "sense and respond", operate with fluid boundaries, and seek and achieve repeated strategic success. Using examples of dozens of companies in a wide variety of industries, such as Apollo Hospitals, Châteauform, Starbucks, Amazon, Disney, Progressive Insurance, the Dallas Mavericks, Whole Foods, IKEA, and many others, the authors present a narrative of remarkable successes, unnecessary failures, and future promise. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Leonard A.

(Marcia Conner, co-author of The New Social Learning; consultant to some of the world's largest organizations) Members Reviews: Highly recommended for exec's on the move.... I discovered this book indirectly through our company's in-house training program. Too often we're directed to pick up bloated, textbooks on leadership philosophy, or best practices. Then, I noticed our CEO had actually read, and wrote a recommendation for Karen Wright's book. The Complete Executive is packed full of concise, actionable, and most importantly PROVEN methods and considerations for executives at every level. It's a fast read, and it is knowledge rich. Karen has gleaned 17 years worth of lessons from her career as a C-Level coach to give the rest of us a peak into the C-suite. Highly recommended. What Is The Complete Executive? This book reminds really smart people how to live a satisfying life. What is the "complete executive"? It's the high-level person at a company who exhibits and practices living a life that others aspire to live. This book helps zoom the lens out so that you can focus on shoring up all the things that make your life a complete package. In all the years I've worked with and known top executives and owners of small businesses, their number one challenge is creating the space to take in the broader view and evaluate the big picture again. By that I mean, what's the infrastructure needed to continue to be the visionary of their company? Karen Wright adds her sense of humor and wit to make this book fun to read. And she offers a lot of "ah ha moments" to remind you of why you're here, doing what you're doing. It's a deep sigh, a breath of fresh air, the space one needs to find themselves, empower themselves to take care of their own creative engine. I also love that each section is an affirmation. It follows with a definition of how to make that affirmation ring true for your life! Brilliant! Lastly, I love the crisp white, soft pages and the size of the book - but that's just me. :) Excellent Executive Read Finally, a truly efficient, incredibly accessible read that pulls together the best focal points for peak executive performance.
