Members Reviews: Five Stars It came recommended by more than one friend great book. The power of a new approach to results-driven, high-impact strategic thinking Paul Butler, John Manfredi, and Peter Klein introduce and thoroughly explain a new approach to thinking simply, yet strategically: "That's TTW, Think to Win." I hasten to add that how "winning" is defined should be determined by the individuals and organizations that seek to achieve it. The key term is "strategic." I agree with Butler, Manfredi, and Klein that in the healthiest organizations, the most successful organizations, there is effective strategic thinking at all levels and in all areas of the given enterprise. As they point out, "Many companies have generated remarkable successes by creating traditions of strategic thinking. By instilling this capability throughout the organizations, companies such as Keurig, Jamba Juice, Procter & Gamble, Gillette, and New Balance have enjoyed years of dynamic growth. Butler, Manfredi, and Klein identify five principles that can serve as a "compass" to guide and inform strategic thinking: o Challenge assumptions: Take no one and nothing for granted. o Scope the issue: Determine its nature and extent. o Rely on facts and data: Separate empirical evidence from "common knowledge." o Focus on the vital few: Focus on the 10% that has the greatest impact on the 90%. o Connect the dots: Make certain that they are the right dots and connected in the right pattern. I commend the co-authors on their brilliant use of various reader-friendly devices, notably dozens of "Try This" application exercises strategically located throughout their lively and eloquent narrative. Also, dozens of mini-commentaries (in gray boxes) that highlight key insights, bullet-point checklists, and end-of-chapter Summaries and Exercises that review key points and suggest possible application of them to the reader's own situation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Change-the-WorkGame-Audiobook/B01LWRQQGR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Change the WorkGame Subtitle: Building and Sustaining a Diverse Workforce Author: Serilda Summers-McGee Narrator: Serilda Summers-McGee Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: Workplace Change Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Research shows that diverse workgroups are more productive, creative and innovative than homogeneous groups. In a global marketplace, and with the rapidly changing racial makeup of America, having a high functioning, diverse workforce is imperative for your organization's success. Change the WorkGame has been designed to show you how establish a diverse workforce throughout all strata of your organization and how to sustain your progress. As a human resources executive, diversity and inclusion consultant, and a member of historically marginalized communities, I have experienced wildly unsuccessful diversity and inclusion strategies; and advised, coached, and led wildly successful diversity and inclusion initiatives. Business leaders and department heads have used the steps outlined in this how-to guide to successfully recruit and retain diverse talent. Chris, a small business owner, says, "the diversity recruitment steps listed in the book, matched with real life scenarios really helps bring to life not only how to go about recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, but why it is important." I promise that if you follow the steps outlined in Change the WorkGame, you will increase the diversity of your workforce within six months following the activation of the last step and you will increase employee satisfaction by enhancing your managers and the inclusivity of your workplace. Don't wait to activate your diversity initiative. Don't wait to make your workforce stronger, nimbler, more creative, and more dynamic. Don't wait to establish an inclusive work environment where everyone feels respected, appreciated and heard. Be the person to take the lead towards change.

Members Reviews: A must read for any HR professional This is a must read for any HR professional with a sincere interest in building and sustaining a positive culture and diverse workforce. The author provides tangible tools to approach diversity and inclusion work through the use of both case studies and reflections. I appreciated her view of D&I and HR working as a team, which I agree is essential to this endeavor. I was particularly drawn to the authors attention to workplace culture, evaluating why your organization wants a diverse workforce, and understanding that it is a complex process that requires attention. As the author states, "a toxic workplace culture will tank a diversity initiative every time." Thus, we need to change the workgame! THE official playbook for leaders and managers Change the WorkGame is THE official playbook for leaders and managers seeking to score by assembling teams of diverse talent. McGee skillfully tackles the complex endeavor with practical, time-proven strategies â which is evident in the case studies presented. I especially appreciated McGeeâs challenge to leaders to begin first with themselvesâto ask themselves the hard questions about their motivation and vision for their organizations. A very powerful read that will most definitely change your work game. Summers-McGee is a dynamic writer How better to learn how to improve work spaces by increasing diversity, than by someone who has actually done the work to break these boundaries. Mrs Summers-McGee describes these complex situations and ideas in a manner accessible to all. This is an amazing read! The author is a no nonsense truth teller. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Intelligent-Fanatics-Project-Audiobook/B01N1FSTO1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Many people are familiar with Warren Buffett's analogy of a moat: various defenses to thwart competition. But moats are fleeting; they are here today and gone tomorrow.

They operated in a wide array of industries, in different time periods, on different continents, and against different economic backdrops, yet their leadership styles, strategies, corporate cultures, and values were similar.

Members Reviews: Nice boom this book has lots of value and good take aways. Author done a good job. What I wish I'd learned in business school Intelligent Fanatics does for Entrepreneurs what Good to Great did for Corporations. It is an excellent case study of entrepreneurs who've dramatically outperformed their peers and how they did it. I highly recommended it for entrepreneurs, investors and managers. Did you like "The Outsiders"? If you have read and enjoyed "The Outsiders" by William Thorndyke as much as I did then you should consider this book for your library as well. It does not hit the technical case studies as hard but the book absolutely shares some terrific principles shared by top managers. The book is well written and has a good narrator. Go 3x and re-Read often to help yourself apply the principals. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Hey-Cupcake-We-are-ALL-Leaders-Audiobook/B00G4A9SBC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: How Performance Management Is Killing Performance - and What to Do About It Author: M. Tamra Chandler Narrator: Natalie Hoyt Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Rethink, Redesign, Reboot. Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It's never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one - and it works. Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative - she offers an infinite number of them. Each organization that uses her Performance Management Reboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn't make a lot of sense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries and sectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientific findings about motivation, it's a transparent, employee-driven process that values collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring new skills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks. Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each step in creating a performance management process that employees will actually embrace, rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives of great performance management: developing your people, rewarding them equitably, and driving your organization's performance. It's the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to creating a performance management solution that's tailored to your organization's needs and goals and that places the emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (M.

Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It's never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one - and it works.

Members Reviews: Chapter sections Where does Great People Decisions: Why They Matter So Much, Why They are So Hard, and How You Can Master Them rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? So far it is a good book and helpful. What other book might you compare Great People Decisions: Why They Matter So Much, Why They are So Hard, and How You Can Master Them to and why? Any of the books that I have had to read for this program, they all are helpful. What do you think the narrator could have done better? Nothing so far, Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No Any additional comments? Yes, if you could give us a chapter section for each book. I need to read the book out of sequence sometimes, and I need to be able to pick the chapter I have to read for each week. I can do this with my e-reader/Kindle, and I wonder why this device does not have this? If Kindle has it then surely audible aught to be able to have this technology also! It is important to get this on audible, I do not have the time to set and press play, then forward, and so on trying to find the chapter I need for each weeks reading. This would be so helpful for those of use who use audible for our college courses! Also, why do my books keep disappearing? I mean really!!! I don't have time for this. I go today to read/listen to Winning, and it is gone!!! I mean what the ....? Full of gold nuggets. I'll recommended to everyone not even people who are in the business.. great people decisions are needed in everday life Hard to Follow Too long. Hard to follow. Referenced graphs or charts in the story to understand something, but never explained it in words, so it made no sense to a listener with no visual. Great Book about HR Really good book for head hunting. I gets great insights about how to find the right person for the right position in the right company. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Exception-to-the-Rule-Audiobook/B076KL6RGL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Exception to the Rule Subtitle: The Surprising Science of Character-Based Culture, Engagement, and Performance Author: Peter J. Rea, James K. Stoller, Alan Kolp Narrator: Doug Greene Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-17 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The antidote to navigating turbulent times isn't more rules. It is timeless virtue that creates sustainable value. Thoughtful leaders are keenly aware of the enormous challenge they face to drive high performance in a world that continues to ratchet up pressure and uncertainty. Some leaders respond by getting tough and establishing strict rules. They get people in line, but they don't inspire excellence. Wise leaders, on the other hand, help their people practice character to navigate their way through the turbulence - without lowering performance expectations. As a result, their people are more reliable under pressure. Exception to the Rule links ancient wisdom with contemporary science on high performance, teamwork, and engagement. Building an organizational culture based on classical virtues - of trust, compassion, courage, justice, wisdom, temperance, and hope - is both strategically smart and a better way to live. Exception to the Rule walks you through the steps of helping everyone in your organization focus on character defined by virtue. The word virtue means excellence, which is why each one is essential to help people perform at a high level despite uncertainty and pressure. Under character-based leadership, teams work better together, creativity flourishes and engagement increases. The most powerful idea of Exception to the Rule is this: character defined by virtue is not based on birthright; it can be learned and practiced. Everyone can develop habits to become better than they were. While character cannot be legislated, character can be cultivated. As virtue proves its value, the culture you have can evolve into the culture you need. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Peter J.

Title: The Zen Leader Subtitle: 10 Ways to Go From Barely Managing to Leading Fearlessly Author: Ginny Whitelaw Narrator: Kimberly Henrie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-30-13 Publisher: Career Press Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The Zen Leader does not encourage you to just "be peaceful." Neither does it suggest you work harder, faster, or ignore the pressure. Quite the opposite: it's about using the pressure to propel "flips" in consciousness that create transformational leaders, leaders who create the future with joy and enthusiasm, rather than drive themselves and their people to exhaustion. Critic Reviews: "The Zen Leader is an important and very helpful book in the science and art of leadership. Based on everything from Zen to Integral Philosophy, it outlines 10 fundamental 'shifts' or 'flips' that can move you from small mind to Big Mind, bringing an expanding capacity of leadership with each one. Give it a try and see for yourself!" (Ken Wilber, author of The Integral Vision) "A terrific contribution filled with original insights and solutions." (Jim Loehr, New York Times best-selling coauthor of The Power of Full Engagement) "As most leaders know, the best answers are often found in how one frames the question. In this remarkable book, Dr. Ginny Whitelaw sharpens the reader's abilities to reframe everything. Offering a genuinely innovative amalgamation of Eastern thought and the world of work, Dr. Whitelaw provides the reader grounding in practical leadership application, just as she introduces the next stretching insight.

It provides good, practical guidance on to how to maximize both your business and "life" performance, whether you are a junior employee, a mid-level manager, or the leader of an organization. The real strength of Dr. Whitelaw's book is the prescription it provides for reframing our perceptions in a way that can help us access greater effectiveness and satisfaction. "The Zen Leader" describes ten "flips" - or changes in perspective - that help us see the "Big Picture" and your role in that picture. Dr. Whitelaw grounds these flips in Zen, but she addresses them in a straightforward way geared towards a business audience. The ten flips can be enormously helpful. By way of analogy, imagine that you are stuck in a battle and confronted with serious threats, opportunities for victory, and a slew of incoming tasks. We have all been in such situations and sometimes it is easy to feel that the best that we can do is to cope. But imagine you have the chance to jump in a helicopter that rises above the battleground and hovers from where you can survey everything: the terrain, the various players, apparent strengths and weaknesses of your position, and even you! How valuable would this perspective be? Wouldn't it be an advantage in helping you determine how best to move forward? Whitelaw's book provides advice on how to achieve just this type of "big picture" so that you can know yourself and the people and world with which you interact, and determine the best path to travel. Along with the ten "flips", the book covers four basic energy patterns or individual styles of activity: "Driver", "Organizer", "Collaborator", and "Visionary". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Why-Leadership-Sucks-tm-Audiobook/B00DNH7QA4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown... Stan Lee is often credited with the statement, With great power comes great responsibility. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown, said Shakespeare in Henry IV Part II. Either statement is perhaps an apt synopsis of the book, Why Leadership Sucks: The Fundamentals of Level 5 Leadership and Servant Leadership. The book does an excellent job of detailing the price, the frustrations, the rewards, and the responsibilities that go with leadership. Far from an aggressive battle cry, the author creates a thoughtful portrait of what it truly takes to be a leader and why the big corner office may in fact be the last place you want to be. He also paints an honest picture of the rewards of leadership as he interweaves the key suggestions of numerous other popular-press management books and adds insights based upon Christian theology. To his credit, the author takes pains to carefully cite his source material, and near the end of the book he even lists his sources and suggests additional readings. Some might be tempted to criticize this eclecticism of influences as derivative. However, here the combination works. Plus, in only a little over four and a half hours, you can gain the key insights of more than 30 hours of books. I know. Ive listened to or read the majority of his source material previously. Appropriate to the tone of the material, the author/narrator does not employ a forceful motivational speaker tone. This is not to say he will put you to sleep, but this is not the audiobook to keep you pumped up for a long drive. All in all, this audiobook is a good choice for the aspiring executive, or the proven one, looking for an efficient way to gain the key insights of much of the current popular-press management literature. Its worth the time. Excellent Review of Existing Books Mr. Smiths book is an excellent synthesis of existing popular management books ranging from classics like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to more recent works such as Blue Ocean Strategy. There is no groundbreaking information presented, with many of the works mentioned as required reading in many MBA programs. However, this audiobook is a good review of basic communication concepts that many forget after B-school. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Personality-at-Work-Audiobook/B06Y3XY3BQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Personality at Work Subtitle: The Drivers and Derailers of Leadership Author: Ron Warren Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-17 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: An evidence-based approach to personality and leadership. A leader's bullying and constant dismissal of his team's concerns nearly take down an entire company - and the global financial system. The US government has to provide a $182 billion bailout. A new CEO transforms a near-bankrupt auto company, and its infamously competitive culture becomes more collaborative and thrives - making it the only auto manufacturer to not take bailout funds. These stories share a truth: Each leader's personality set the course of their company's future. We all know that IQ, education, knowledge, and technical skills are essential for professionals, but they alone are insufficient for effective leadership. Who you are as a person - your personality and character - drives leadership performance and determines who thrives and who fails. In Personality at Work, psychologist Ron Warren lays out the key personality traits that drive high performance - and the common traits that derail it. Warren clusters closely related traits into four dimensions of behavior: Each cluster is broken down into personality traits - 13 in all. Personality at Work draws from research using the renowned LMAP 360 with 20,000 leaders and 250,000 360-feedback raters. An assessment used at organizations around the world, LMAP 360 is used at Harvard Business School, Yale School of Management, Underwriter Laboratories, BearingPoint, Deloitte, Teach for America, Clayton Homes, and more than 35 hospital systems throughout the United States. Personality at Work integrates research on personality and performance, teamwork, communications, judgment, and decision making.

Ron Warren is my "go to" expert on personality and how it affects leadership effectiveness at work. This book cuts through all the b.s. advice you hear on leadership development. We have an abundance of self-appointed experts who collectively produce thousands of new articles and books every year telling you how to become a better leader, or how you can develop more effective leaders. There are many firms who want to sell their consulting packages, trainings or leadership assessments. But when you look at their credentials, you find many of these experts, writers, and consultants don't have the strong evidence-based approach or scientific training in this field. Or you will find they have a narrow lens into leadership -- one that doesn't focus on the whole picture of both drivers and derailers of leadership performance. What you get with Ron's book is what I would call a holistic model because it looks broadly at personality and not just on the "feel good" stuff. And you get a view into leadership that is based on research evidence rather than something purely anecdotal. Ron has a PhD in psychology. He is all about scientific rigor. Many people in recent years have asked me about the strengths-based approaches to leadership development. Overall it's a good thing that we have more strengths-based dialogue in psychology and in the workplace right now. Strengths-based people say you should focus most of your professional improvement on your strengths, on leveraging them more, and finding assignments or roles that use your strengths. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-Aikido-Audiobook/B002VA9PK8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We are in a time of disruptive leadership change. In a VUCA world - one characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity - traditional leadership skills won't be enough, noted futurist Bob Johansen argues. Members Reviews: Suggestions for Leading in an Uncertain World Leaders Make the Future provides the insights of Bob Johansen, Fellow and former President of Institute for the Future on how leaders can cope with changes coming over the next ten years. He indicates that the world in which leaders must operate will be increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) and that leaders need to apply vision, understanding, clarity and agility to move forward effectively. The book is mainly attempts to persuade based on reasonability and examples rather than marshaling arguments with evidence for its points. When I evaluated the evidence for a) the main forces of change in the future and b) the best skills for leaders to develop to work well within the challenges our future presents it seems pretty weak. While I appreciate the book's ability to provoke forethought of what leaders need to do now to prepare for leading in the future, I also see a dearth of evidence that the proposed skill sets are the best way to flourish in the future. The future my be fraught with more VUCA and the skill sets outlined may be the best approach to flourishing in a VUCA world, the lack of evidence that this is the case limits the impetus for implementing focus and programs around the skill sets described. At this point, companies serious about preparing their leadership team for the future would be well served by seeking more data for what works or diving into what is working well for similar companies (or companies similar to where the want to be) and pursuing those. It may be that IFF or other organizations also have more data to substantiate the ideas presented here. I augmented reading the book with listening to the audiobook narrated by Brett Barry. While Mr. Barry does a nice, clear, and consistent job narrating the book, the audiobook is a version back. The differences aren't huge, but it does present some challenge. For the full review: wp.me/p2XCwQ-YO Take a Step Forward and Look to the Future This book gives readers a solid look at the future and what we can do as leaders to better prepare for it. As we live day to day, we tend to forget some of the skills that are baseline skills. Mr. Johansen describes that leaders need to have a Maker Instinct to try to change the way they do business. Leaders also need the skill to try to make changes quickly through "Rapid Prototyping" to really become experts. Overall, I believe the book gives readers some of the tools to live in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Influencing-Up-Audiobook/B008S1B34K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narration Ruins the Experience What would have made Influencing Up better? The narration is unbearable. What was most disappointing about Allan R Cohen and David L. Bradford s story? I couldn't get to the story. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Phillip Dubois? The narrator could not possibly be a human voice. Any additional comments? Audible should not offer computer generated narration. Computer voice narration What would have made Influencing Up better? Human narrator What was most disappointing about Allan R Cohen and David L. Bradford s story? Cannot believe this is a human narrator. Halting, unnatural intonation -- cannot tell what is being communicated because the pauses and flow are DESTROYED by the narrator. Makes this very hard to understand, even with a lot of focus. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Phillip Dubois? Virtually anyone. Unable to finish Any additional comments? Unfortunately, I have yet to make it through the first chapter or two. This topic is extremely interesting to me, but I found the narrator speaking with such an odd, distracting cadence at times, and in such a dry voice (think Ben Stein in a Clear Eyes commercial, but even less entertaining and conversational) that I haven't been able to get far in this book. I'm really bummed since I do so want to learn more about this topic! I will keep trying, but for now, my rating is pretty low here.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-Blindspots-Audiobook/B00LMIU1QW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Tool for Insight and Action As an organization development consultant/executive coach and a leader of a small teams, I found the content and layout of this book informative, insightful, concrete, and most of all, applicable. The author has taken a topic that is tough to self-assess and to coach others through and given it some much needed clarity. The assessment and planning tools have added insight into my blind spots as a leader. He has also given me approaches and tools when working with those I coach/advise to make them more effective leaders. As other reviewers have mentioned, the layout of the book is genius. For those with a deeper interest in the topic, the introductory chapters provide a solid base and excellent examples. I particularly found the discussions of a leadership trait I sometimes observe â productive narcissism â and the balance of self-confidence and self-doubt fascinating. For those like me who have a shorter attention span, there is a self-assessment that I highly recommend going to first. Here the author not only provides a tool that just by taking it provides insight, but also pointed me to parts of the book to explore in more detail. The âBlindspot Q & Aâ resource is another great example of the practicality of this book. In this section, Shaw takes concepts, definitions, and key ideas and skinnies them down to the critical few. Introducing a concept in a clear, succinct manner is critical when I work with time-pressured leaders. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leading-with-Strategic-Thinking-Audiobook/B00XWC839I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Eschewing the one-size-fits-all leadership model, this helpful guide outlines four general leadership types and demonstrates how each type achieves success - whether through personal vision, structured process, collaboration, or empowering others. The authors identify the actions and skills that distinguish strategic leadership, drawn from interviews and focus groups with over 300 leaders from around the world. Examples and case studies illustrate these concepts in action, and the provided reference materials steer listeners toward more advanced information on this important topic. The disruptive forces of technology and globalization raise new challenges for leaders. This book is a manual that will help executives and aspiring leaders harness these forces and address the two central questions of strategic leadership: Becoming a strategic leader isn't about mimicking an icon. The most effective leaders seize opportunity in a way that consciously integrates environmental requirements, stakeholder expectations, and personal ability. Leading with Strategic Thinking shows what these leaders do and gives anyone the tools to be a more strategic leader. Members Reviews: Leading with Strategic Thinking The authors, Olson and Simerson begin Leading with Strategic Thinking: Four ways effective leaders gain insight, drive change and get results, with an insightful question: âYou need to be more strategicâ When someone receives this kind of feedback, what does it mean? We often talk about strategic thinking and how important it is, but few people can actually identify how it works. The authors help us get clarity on just that. They deconstruct what strategic thinking is, and then they explain the different kinds of strategic leadership. The authors are careful to point out that strategic thinking is not the same as strategic planning. They highlight three activities in strategic thinking: assessing situations, recognizing patterns and making decisions. They identify three knowledge sets that underpin strategic thinking: systems thinking, cognitive psychology and game theory. Cognitive psychology is about how people perceive, solve problems, remember, make decisions and become motivated. Systems Thinking is an approach to understanding how systems behave, interact with their environment, and influence each other. Game Theory is the study of decision making when the decision involves two or more parties. Specifically, game theory is based on the assumptions that interests among multiple stakeholder groups may differ and that others involved typically have alternatives available to them. After carefully explaining the three activities of strategic thinking, the authors focus on leadership. They describe a âstrategic leader as the individual whoâ regardless of role, position, or titleâ intentionally takes advantage of opportunities to think strategically, influence others toward a chosen course of action, and garner needed buy-in, commitment, and advocacy.â Olson and Simerson then suggest there are four styles of strategic leadership: 1. Visionary Type: These leaders are inspiring and charismatic 2. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Hacking-Leadership-Audiobook/B00JAIRAYC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm listening to it a second time right now incase my ego lied to me. A great leadership book relevant to our time Loved It because it sheds light on the things we as leaders need to be aware of, our potential blind spots. It didn't have quite as many concrete solutions or action steps to take as I would like but now I know of blind spots to research and learn more about.

Members Reviews: This is how we can be heard Ever since I first heard Andy speak about his book, I've been eagerly waiting for it. He hit the ball out of the park for me. I had no idea where my investments were going until I learned this from Andy. The book details how to discover this, what requests to make, and how your voice can be heard with big corporations to make sure they do the right thing. I am excited to begin to take action. This book will be my holiday present for all my friends, especially those who feel they have no way to be heard. Let's have our voices heard together. A Pragmatic Path Forward At this difficult moment in our national dialogue I feel so grateful to have a book that demonstrates how we can care for the environment, improve the bottom line and create jobs in the bargain. Here is a pragmatic path forward that is making a significant difference in which we learn how each of us can help. To the author I extend my heartfelt thanks. The Shareholder Action Guide lays out in a clear and ... The Shareholder Action Guide lays out in a clear and readable way the options for those with mutual fund shares, retirement savings and other investments to take part in the corporate governance conversation. Most people have no idea what to do with the proxy voting materials they receive each year and this book gives you a clear picture of the options open to you. Andy is the CEO of an NGO that has been part of this process for decades so his how-to's are liberally sprinkled with interesting and inspiring results from those who have already been part of the process for decades. A must have for those who wish to actively manage what is in their portfolios. Most Important Read of 2017 Buy the book and let's get busy. We need to attack the problem of corporate accountability from every angle. Our rights to demand accountability as shareholders may be stronger than our rights as citizens, especially with corporations making secret political donations under Citizens United as well as playing states and countries off against each other for special privileges. Corporations should not be democracy-free zones. Andrew Behar, of As You Sow, offers a great toolbox of advice on how we can take control of the most powerful economic force on Earth... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Overcomplicated-Audiobook/B01I09TYKY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why did certain Toyota vehicles accelerate uncontrollably against the will of their drivers? Why does the programming inside our airplanes occasionally surprise its creators? After a thorough analysis by the top experts, the answers still elude us. You don't understand the software running your car or your iPhone. But here's a secret: Neither do the geniuses at Apple or the PhDs at Toyota - not perfectly, anyway. No one - not lawyers, doctors, accountants, or policy makers - fully grasps the rules governing your tax return, your retirement account, or your hospital's medical machinery. The same technological advances that have simplified our lives have made the systems governing our lives incomprehensible, unpredictable, and overcomplicated. In Overcomplicated, complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman offers a fresh, insightful field guide to living with complex technologies that defy human comprehension. As technology grows more complex, Arbesman argues, its behavior mimics the vagaries of the natural world more than it conforms to a mathematical model. If we are to survive and thrive in this new age, we must abandon our need for governing principles and rules and accept the chaos. By embracing and observing the freak accidents and flukes that disrupt our lives, we can gain valuable clues about how our algorithms really work. What's more, we will become better thinkers, scientists, and innovators as a result.

Members Reviews: Original perspective A book that challenges my view of studying and developing complex, interconnected technological systems, through a somewhat original and refreshing erspective. Absolutely Useless. What a waste of time. What disappointed you about Overcomplicated? The author, despite being a "complexity expert" seems utterly unable (or uninterested) to answer the big questions: 1. How much of a problem--other than "wow! really big and scary!" is it that complexity grows exponentially in the modern world, and 2. What techniques can be used to combat it? Famously, he uses the debunked "Toyota unintentional acceleration" scare as one of his key points that "Gee, things have gotten so complex that _nobody_ fully understands why things happen in systems like this." Similarly, he constantly lectures from either anecdote or example, quoting science columnists or opinion leads for data instead of actual science or research. Where he does offer "statistical" data, beyond "just lots and lots", it usually devolves into the form of "Well, if you assume multiplied by " you get ". Never mind whether either such number exists in the original example being talked about, or whether there might be other factors which limit the growth of the resulting complexity in the model. He is constantly using false analogies--bordering on non-sequitors--to make his points, and seems allergic to both quoting any actual scientific study or... you know... numbers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Trap-of-Success-Audiobook/B0786MSTGP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But wait This isn't a book you read one time and put away. It's a book to read numerous times to give you time to digest and implement the content. The author not only tells his brutal story of crashing and burning--he also shares the process and the ways he not only recovered but also began to thrive --the lessons learned and how he applied them. The section on being proactive versus reactive is just one of the many topics covered that make this book one I highly recommend. But wait, there's more--really! The book has an incredible number of online resources created by the author that make this book a workbook to come back to time and time again. I coach strong sales performers and this book addresses many things that even the best of performers often struggle with and one I will be recommending often--and re-reading myself. Honest and Real Gene had me at Chapter 1 - The Pursuit of Significance. We can work hard and achieve great things, but if it's not significant to us or someone else, does it really matter? The stories and observations in this book really spoke to me. I have taken chances and started over and every time I was willing to accept the risk it was for something that mattered. This book is an invaluable gift to leaders in any industry or type of business to know they are not alone, that there is a tribe of others that are led by significance. The Trap of Success is on the list of books I will gift to my clients and colleagues. being too comfortable or finding significance then this book would make the ... Having read many business and self-growth books over the years I have to say this was the first book I didn't skip a chapter. I had my highlighter and pen out making detailed notes in the margins. The Trap of Success had golden nuggets and take-aways in every, single chapter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lean-Startups-for-Social-Change-Audiobook/B0189TFNB4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Lean Startups for Social Change Subtitle: The Revolutionary Path to Big Impact Author: Michel Gelobter Narrator: Matt Morea Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: "There's a new way to change the world," writes social entrepreneur Michel Gelobter. It's called the lean startup - but it's not just for new ventures. It's been revolutionizing businesses of all ages for years, and Gelobter shows it can have the same transformative impact on the social sector. Traditionally, an entrepreneur develops a detailed plan, finds money to fund it, and then pursues it to its conclusion. But conditions can change drastically at any point - you can end up locked into a process based on now-obsolete assumptions. The lean startup is all about agility and flexibility. Its mantra is "build, measure, learn": create small, experimental initiatives, get real-world feedback on them quickly, and use that data to identify what works and discard what doesn't. And then test some more. Gelobter explains exactly how nonprofits and advocacy organizations can adapt lean startup concepts to their unique circumstances. He offers dozens of real-world examples: an established homelessness group whose data analysis showed that reducing a single overlooked metric could get many more people off the street; a technology-based literacy startup that used lean techniques to reach two million children in two years when a more traditional program took 15; and many others. The standard approach wastes time and money - the lean startup promises to help social sector organizations vastly increase the good they do. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Michel Gelobter) Mon, 23 Nov 2015 06:33:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lean-Startups-for-Social-Change-Audiobook/B0189TFNB4 thebookvoice.com 04:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good content read and edited poorly As a social entrepreneur operating a nonprofit, this Bol is not earth shattering. It is a good refresher of solid concepts and principles. The problem was the execution as an audiobook. Section titles were poorly read with no pause or indication to the listener that a transition was happening. Incredibly difficult to listen to. Great resource for applying lean startup for good Michel provides detailed steps for applying the popular Lean Startup methodology to 'not for profit' organizations. A must read for those in government and nonprofits who want to use their resources effectively while having a huge impact in their programs and initiatives. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Bob-Wall-on-Coaching-for-Emotional-Intelligence-Audiobook/B00O2FVPX0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 101 course Author Ram Charan has developed a holistic approach to what executives and managers must do and be to become successful leaders. According to Charan, leadership is a messy phenomenon because there are a number of things that influence it. Therefore, he has identified the skills, personal traits, and emotions that are required by today's business leaders. Here is a breakdown of the eight know-hows: 1. Positioning and Repositioning: Finding a central idea for business that meets customer demands and that makes money. 2. Pinpointing External Change: Detecting patterns in a complex world to put the business on the offensive. 3. Leading the Social System: Getting the right people together with the right behaviors and the right information to make better, faster decisions and achieve business results. 4. Judging People: Calibrating people based on their actions, decisions and behaviors, and matching them to the non-negotiables of the job. 5. Molding a Team: Getting highly competent, high ego leaders to coordinate seamlessly. 6. Setting Goals: Determining the set of goals that balances what the business can become with what it can realistically achieve. 7. Setting Laser-Sharp Priorities: Defining the path and aligning resources, actions and energy to accomplish the goals. 8. Dealing With Forces Beyond the Market: Anticipating and responding to societal pressures you don't control but that can affect your business. Command of the eight know-hows, according to the author, enables you to diagnose any situation and take appropriate action, lifting you out of your comfort zone of expertise by developing skills that prepare you to do what the situation requires, not just what you've traditionally been good at. The know-hows do not, however, stand alone. There are a million things that can block human beings from making sound judgments and taking effective action. That's where personal traits, psychology and emotions enter the leadership picture. Furthermore, the eight know-hows are especially influenced by a handful of personal traits that can affect leadership: ambition, drive and tenacity, self-confidence, psychological openness, realism and an insatiable appetite for learning. I found this book too basic and common-sense. Is it because I have read so many business management books in the last year that I have come to expect more? Take for example the following statements: "The true test of your positioning is the real world. If people like what you have to offer and you can sell it at a profit, you'll make money. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/What-It-Takes-Audiobook/B00DICDZD6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It's an easy and entertaining read that is well referenced and annotated "What it Takes" only deals with professional service firms. It deals with everything from values, hiring, compensation, culture, and service delivery. Very few business books focus exclusively on professional service firms. As such, I've had difficulty applying the author's insights. Plus most business books that try and deal with professional services don't take into account the complexity inherent in these type of firms. Charles Ellis addresses complexity through detailed case studies, which helps provide the necessary context for applying (or not applying) an insight to my own firm. It's an easy and entertaining read that is well referenced and annotated. I highly recommend it. The last chapter makes it worthwhile The book is interesting but not great. The last chapter--the rise and fall of Arthur Anderson--makes the book worthwhile. The chapter is a cautionary tale of how a great company that focused on doing great work for its clients transformed into a mediocre company that focused on generating great profits for its partners. It will scare the bejeebers out of you. Read it several times if you care about your company. Two Stars This was a tedious read, not applicable for our particular industry. Some of these companies philosophy seem very outdated. Good read Insightful and engaging on successful professional firms Did not live up to my expectations. I have read other books by Charles Ellis and was expecting more. This book reviews several companies and what makes them so special. The book could have accomplished this in half the pages. It did not measure up to my expectations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Executive-MBA-Audiobook/B00VART5JE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Save Time, Save Money, Save Yourself There isn't a person I don't know who isn't pushing the hours, me including. My typical work day is rarely less than 12 hours and 7 days a week is fairly common. I bought Execution is the Strategy some time ago and it was a few months before I could finally carve out a few hours to dive into it. For leaders, I don't think there is anything new that hasn't come out in other books ... but have those books been read? Maybe, maybe not. I think what's important for readers to consider is writing style--does this author connect with me; speak my jargon; have examples that are relevant; do I get gooses and reminders to get me back on track--doing things better that what I have done before ... and in less time? If that's what you are looking for, then it's highly recommended. If you are looking for a magic, quick fix ... get over it. Execution requires you involved in the strategy. It is work. If you are willing to learn; being reminded that what "leaders" need to do and are doing is good for the flock as well ... then you won't be disappointed. Judith Briles Execution is the biggest problem in business after people. ... Execution is the biggest problem in business after people. Follow this plan to make it the strategy and watch your company grow. Five Stars Very educative Five Stars Great insight .... Orchestrated Reviews by People Who Haven't Read the Book Anyone who can count can see that at least 40 of this book's 46 reviews (as of this writing) were orchestrated: 35 of them were written on one day--March 3. The next two were on March 4, with two more March 5. This is clearly coordinated, bogus nonsense. Amazon should be ashamed of itself for allowing this kind of garbage. Note, too, that the first edition of this book is paperback. That alone tells us that it's not a serious book for serious business professionals. Moreover, the author's previous books affirm that her knowledge of 'strategy execution' is pure fluff, light-weight at best. She's just using buzz-words--"strategy" and "execution"--to hook potential buyers. Before you buy this book, look at its table of contents. Then look at the titles of her previous books. Long story short: There's far less to this book than meets the eye. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Just-Make-Money-Audiobook/B0747Z4HC5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enlightening for sure. So many great ideas. Easy to read and understand the concepts. Realized I need to do ALOT more in my business to survive and make money. Some of the ideas are so simple you forget they exist. Definitely recommend to anyone in business. Good read for entrepreneurs who need encouragement to not give up. You have to applaud Casuburi for being one of the first to recognize the potential of a low cost-high value fitness franchise. This book provides some good takeaways for entrepreneurs--encouragement to follow your instincts, passion and dreams to create something that will be successful. Does ever idea work? No. But the message here is that you don't need every hit to be a homer, you just need one, maybe two. What I also got from this book, is that you don't want to ever forget that it's about making every customer feel welcome and important. This guy has a really bad track with previous business I'm a firm believer in doing your research, planning ahead, for long-term effective/successful goals. I'm also a believer in seeing someone's continued success stories and wealth and using that towards your "drive". With this being said, I not only read the reviews of this book that I was looking at, but went even further to research this guys' name and business(s). This guy has a really bad track with previous business, ethics, churn-burn, lawsuits, faulty contracts. From previous employees at his gyms saying "scamming people into contracts" to being sued back in 2009 by another business for "false promises and misrepresentations" I would steer clear of anything this guy has his name tied to. I will have my popcorn ready as I have a feeling the next time I will be seeing his name may just be on an upcoming episode of "American Greed" EXCELLENT INFO VERY informative book for new business owners learning their way. Clearly some disgruntled people that didn't know how to run a business blaming Mr Casaburi is the case for the off color reviews. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Liderazgo-101-Leadership-101-Audiobook/B01M8MTDTZ Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> Título: Liderazgo 101 [Leadership 101] Subtitular: Lo que todo líder necesita saber [What Every Leader Needs to Know] Autor: John C.

Title: Joe Torre's Ground Rules Subtitle: Twelve Keys to Managing Team Players, Tough Bosses, Setbacks, and Success Author: Joe Torre Narrator: Joe Torre Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-10 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Since joining the Yankees in 1996, Joe Torre has quickly reestablished the team as one of the great success stories in all of professional sports. But Torre has not only shown his outstanding managerial talents by leading the Yankees to two championships in three years. He's also survived the pressure-cooker of big-market media, established a calm, effective working relationship with George Steinbrenner, and cultivated clubhouse harmony on a team packed with distinct personalities. That harmony, together with Torre's emphasis on steadiness, optimism, serenity, mutual respect and responsibility, paved the way for his team's record-shattering 125-win season and 1998 World Series sweep. In Joe Torre's Ground Rules for Winners, the Yankee manager reveals the twelve keys to his phenomenally successful management philosophy -- keys directly applicable to business and to life. Drawing from his years of experience in the corporate microcosm that is professional baseball. Torre shares his wisdom of the universal concerns of managers -- handling tough bosses, dealing with both setbacks and success, earning the trust and respect of your team players and bringing together a diverse group of individuals into a cohesive unit with a willingness to make the sacrifices necessary to win. Joe Torre's Ground Rules for Winners is a comprehensive guide to the management techniques that Torre has refined, illustrating his methods with vivid, colorful stories from his years in professional baseball. Torre's invaluable insights will provide listeners with the tools they need to develop a winning outlook, and to get the most out of themselves and their colleagues, whether in sports, business, or life. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Joe Torre) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:01:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Joe-Torres-Ground-Rules-Audiobook/B0038EZ7UI thebookvoice.com 02:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The most important problems often have hundreds or thousands of potential root causes within very complex systems. Such problems are hard problems, and are highly resistant to guessing, brainstorming, or problem-solving methodologies that require conjuring a list of possible causes. Great problem-solvers are armed with a set of behaviors that allows them to avoid guessing. They consistently solve hard problems to root cause in a way that can seem magical to most people. In Stop Guessing, you will learn nine behaviors that are critical to success and how to adopt them from Nat Greene, who has 20 years' experience leading great problem-solvers. Developing your strength in these behaviors will help you to: Each of the nine behaviors comes with stories of great problem-solving in action, including a best-in-class chemical processor that had hundreds of millions of dollars of upside hidden behind a hard problem, a losing baseball team without the budget for star players, and the scourge of poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Nat Greene) Thu, 23 Feb 2017 12:60:39 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Stop-Guessing-Audiobook/B06W5C6SBP thebookvoice.com 03:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: How NOT To Solve Problems As well as how to solve problems, this book also goes into some common ways that humans try to solve problems the wrong way, and how to avoid those pitfalls. Through effective story-telling and numerous examples, this book illustrates many ways to approach a problem. It's a nice, easy read, and it gets you thinking outside the usual ways of problem solving. I found myself thinking about some of the examples long after I had stopped listening. The narrator did a great job reading and got really into the stories. His enthusiasm for some of the stories was infectious and I found myself nodding along, thinking, "Awesome! Give me more!" based solely on the energy of the reader. That being said it wasn't sooo energetic that he was trying to sell you something. He clearly believed in what he was reading, and I loved that. I was provided with a free copy of this book by the publisher, narrator or author in exchange for this unbiased review, but I must say that I would have happily spent the money for this book and will gladly look for more by this great author in the future because I love his approach to being the smartest one in the room and getting things fixed! Practical and Uplifting What did you love best about Stop Guessing? The unique behaviors and techniques to problem solving. Very practical and applicable to today. Any additional comments? This review copy audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost." Best problem solving book EVER! I've been working in the field of quality and continuous improvement for a decade and this is hands down the best book on problem solving I have ever read! It's made me look back on projects I've run or been involved in and think "well now it's obvious why we didn't succeed", hindsight is feeling a little painful right now. I love that this book deals with behaviors rather than methods, different methods work for different problems/groups but behaviors work for everyone. This book would be useful for anyone who ever has to solve problems (you know... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Boss-Talk-Audiobook/B002VA8ITM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing I was very excited about this book's topic. I thought the concept was great. However, almost all these "boss interviews" focus on topics like mergers and acquisitions, board talks, and other topics that won't help middle managers. There are a few good comments and insights about personal achievements and business success stories. However, unless you are a member of the "C-suite" (CEO, CFO, etc), you will find this book entertaining at best. The Jack Welch interview was the best one - but I had already read "Straight from the Gut" and "Winning", two excellent books I highly recommend becuase they are eventually much more insightful and inspiring than "Boss Talk". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-E-Myth-Architect-Audiobook/B00B8Z4J4E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Felt like a sales pitch for the "dreaming room" throughout. Should get experienced readers to do the audio books. Mr. Lemermeyer didn't sound like he knew how to read. Not sure how this book differs from the original e-myth. The principals are still the same with the architect or without him. Waste of money for second book just read the original. Not worth the time - stick to the original It was about a quarter of the way through the book before there was anything of substance, and then substance was spotty. While not completely devoid of it, and while there is much talk about architects and architectural practice, ultimately there is very little in the way of practical recommendations and true examples as it relates to the architectural practice. It's heavy on "this will change your life" speech. Much of the book was about accolades and advertisements for the author's other products. Great book for Australian architects and builders Would you listen to The E-Myth Architect again? Why? This is a great book for Australian architects or builders. Learn how to make your architecture or building business work for you. A simple, easy read that shows you why most architecture businesses fail and what to do about it. 'How to' systemise your small business for success. Evan Corbett, Construction Solutions Online, Australia. Great Book for a Niche of Business Owners What did you love best about The E-Myth Architect? I loved the original book, the E-Myth and I purchased the physical version of the book for a friend of mine. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Jesus-Leadership-Lessons-Learning-from-One-of-Historys-Greatest-Leaders-Audiobook/B019S9J23Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Parker Format: Unabridged Length: 51 mins Language: English Release date: 12-29-15 Publisher: UNITEXTO LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Jesus Christ has been undoubtedly one of the greatest leaders in the history of mankind. He has been so powerful that he keeps leading billions of human beings 2,000 years after his death. Discover the lessons from Jesus Christ that can transform your business and your life! Born in the humblest of circumstances, Jesus of Nazareth would go on to change the world. For today's leaders, for whom the study of leadership is often a natural part of the calling, Jesus is an understandably compelling figure. The fact is that Jesus' teachings do not always jibe or mesh comfortably with conventional wisdom, particularly as expressed in the popular leadership books of the day, and that is part of what makes them so valuable. Jesus was a leader of the highest order, and his perspectives on leadership and the realizing of human potential are as fresh and vital today as they must have been all those centuries ago.

But a leader with character but no skills is useless. In this book, author, consultant, and entrepreneur Tim Clark shows how anyone can develop both character and competence. Clark lays out his model of the "core" (character) and the "crust" (competence) to explain how we can rethink leadership. Most importantly, this model makes no allowance for job title, formal authority, or position. Almost anyone with the right character can learn competence, but Clark makes clear that the formula rarely works the other way around. For each aspect of leadership, he shares a series of mini lessons taken from his research and experience.

Members Reviews: Some books we should read - some we should digest. As you can see from the pictures I have included this book got the juices flowing. There is not a page in the book without notes. I am a software architect by choice, and an enterprise architect by title. I like patterns and authors that can communicate them clearly so they can become a common language with my team and the IT community in general. Patterns are not new knowledge. They are something that has repeatedly succeeded and are worth recording to teach others and create a common language. That is the way I see this book. There is no new knowledge in it. The knowledge has just been assembled and explained in a way that helps the reader turn the knowledge into wisdom. This book is clear, clean, and very well laid out. It is one of the best books I have read in years. It takes the core of leadership and presents it in the clearest way possible. If you are interested in true leadership, start hear. No matter what path you take in your quest to become a 'real' leader, if that is what you want, you will end up needing to know everything in this book. You can go out are read 100 other books, attend seminar after seminar, and fall on your face 1000 times, before you arrive here, or you can just start here. " and I am pretty amazed. This book is a masterpiece Can I write an unbiased, accurate review of my own son's book? It's an honor to try. I just completed reading, "Leading with Character and Competence," and I am pretty amazed. This book is a masterpiece. It is the best book on leadership I have read. It is an exciting read, and a must-read for anyone who is or desires to be a leader. Every page is packed with powerful insight into those two cardinal principles which all great leaders master. It is a reflection of who Tim is as a person, his excellent education and his many years training leaders in America and globally. Richard O. Clark, Ph.D. Truly Inspired! A masterful blueprint for effective leadership, based on proven principles. I purchased this to help me as a business leader, but quickly observed that the principles taught apply across all facets of life. After listening to the audio book, I bought two copies of the hardback version--one for me to read and one as a gift for my boss. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Play-to-Win-the-Game-Called-Leaderships-Greatest-Challenge-Audiobook/B002UZLBQA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book provides a nice overview of Navy seal leadership tactics. I recommend having a notebook next to you to jot down some ideas for use in your organization. I found myself doing this several times. Great concepts What did you love best about Leadership Lessons of the Navy Seals? The concepts are very solid and real stories behind help build a picture for memory. I have listened several times to continue working on improving personally. Short but sweet C'mon don't kid yourself. It tells you some of the stuff you should be doing already. Or the stuff you don't have the fortitude to do right now. But it's a slap into reality that every manager should hear. I'd like to give this book to the management @ 2 of the "Big Three" automakers namely the biggest. Boy do they ever need to hear this! I learned a thing or two Interesting perspective on leadership practices. This is not a book that can be considered a golden standard, yet it does have some good points. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Paid-to-Think-Audiobook/B00AYJY1K2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Leadership tools are usually defined as computers, spreadsheets, data, and even experience, but in reality, leaders need thinking tools that are hard to come by, so they find themselves hunting and pecking for answers in books, at seminars, through on-the-job training programs, from mentors, and at business schools, and still, theyre left with gaps. Surely, most leaders are good at what they do, but the daily challenges of their jobs - like accelerating growth, increasing productivity, driving innovation, doing more with less, and balancing work with life - dont come with some sort of leadership toolkit...until now. In Paid to Think, international consultant David Goldsmith presents his groundbreaking approach to leadership and management based on research revealing the 12 specific activities that all leaders perform on a daily basis, and he provides you with each activitys accompanying tools and instructions proven to boost your performance and that of your entire organization. Take the uncertainty out of everyday leading, convert ideas to realities, and maximize your intellectual value. Learn how decision makers at some of the worlds most successful organizations have already used Paid to Thinks universal and easily transferable tools - regardless of their industries, sectors, geographic locations, or management levels - as their greatest advantages in achieving more, earning more, and living more. Members Reviews: Pompous Drivel Would you try another book from David Goldsmith and/or Jason Culp? I could not get further than a few chapters in this. David Goldsmith praises himself more than he delivers any content on the topic. What could David Goldsmith have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The authors could work to not talk down to the reader as if she were a second grader. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger (wasted money) & disgust (at how someone could think their contribution to the world was so magnificent). Unbelievable! Content that's a profound Concept! love this book! recommended by Bishop T.D. Jakes. Leader's Conference (IP&L) 2016 Book Is Phenomenal The bleeding edge of incrementalism Listeners will be hard-pressed to find any pearls of wisdom amongst the cotton-wool dullness of rehashed ideas, lame examples, laughable acronyms and obsessive, maniacally dull procedures that stuff this book to bursting point. Overly verbose academic paper full of jargon What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? It realistically could have been about 10% the length without the constant self-appreciating and sales drivel that surrounded the few key concepts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Primes-Audiobook/B008S0PIVU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good book to change how you think The Primes is a great book to read through and take the time to evaluate how you think about a problem, individually or in a group, and make changes. I found the primes presented in the book extremely relevant to countless situations in life that without reading The Primes you easily fail to notice. Overall, this book is really help in changing how you approach problems and just generally how you think about yourself and the world around. I would recommend anyone about to enter the work force or already working to take the time to read the book and apply the primes. Great, generous offering for Universe Denters. Best practices shared at their best! The "Primes" shares pearls of wisdom in form of patterns, to create an "alphabet soup" for transformational work, no matter the arena you are working in. It provides a meaningful, original and simple way to access the author's 30 years of consulting experience, by making it readily available with simple images. As a training consultant, learner and practioners of learning as transformation I particularly appreciated how this book frames the often complex work of sharing "best practices" as a work of "naming the world" - in line with a Freireian pedagogy. As the ideas in the PRIMES have proven to work in a variety of contexts for transformational efforts, reading the book stimulates and inspires the reader to put these "lessons learned" into practice. Ultimately, THE PRIME is a book for leaders during organizational change efforts. Enlightening and Easy to Read I had the pleasure of taking a graduate course with the author of "The Primes: How Any Group Can Solve Any Problem" which means I read the book several times, cover to cover. The book is easy to read and the pictures provide good visuals for understanding the content. Explanations of the discovery or creation of each prime provide great examples of the meaning and implementation. Not only do the primes teach about problem-solving and leadership but many of them also caused me to look inward and evaluate my own behavior and state of being. I will admit it was helpful to have the creator available for consultation and explanation but even so it is a great book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Success-101-Audiobook/B00VUPH9R6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

From 360 degree feedback questions to insightful guidance on how to actually ask for (and receive) feedback from your peers, superiors, and direct reports.

Regardless of whether you think you have (or need) a Leadership Brand, you do. The real question is does it represent who you want it to, who you are, or is it simply the by-product of your actions. Brenda encourages every leader to put the same vigor, discipline, and intention used in the planning and consideration of their business unit outcomes into defining and refining their Leadership Brand. Great read and absolutely worth it.

Members Reviews: Great Risk Information I have rated this book with 5 stars because it is a great tool for understanding and applying Risk Mnagement. The text is clearly understandable and the examples given can be applied to project work and risk management. Some books are just full of facts, and are tough to read and grasp the concepts. This book makes sense, is easy to read and understand and with the addition of real life examples, it is a great resource for my class and one that I would definitely recommend to others. This one is a keeper!! Highly practical This is one of the best books I have read in a long time on the important topic of risk management. The treatment of the standard risk model is complete, easy to follow, and very practical. Some of the other bonuses include organization/facilitation tips for risk identification workshops, and proposals for tools and reporting formats. The material will quickly lend itself to practical applications in the work place for those who are interested in improving the risk identification and management practices in their organizations. Possible improvements to the book could include more technical examples related to product development (the book uses the risk of `heart attack' as an example throughout the book), and a CD with electronic versions of the tools and reports that are proposed. Five Stars Good quality and fast delivery. Five Stars well organized Five Stars Excellent book on risk management. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lift-The-Fundamental-State-of-Leadership-Audiobook/B012P005SY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Lift: The Fundamental State of Leadership Author: Ryan W. Quinn, Robert E. Quinn Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 07-28-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The best leaders make everyone around them better - and this kind of pervasive positive impact is something we all aspire to. But often, despite our best intentions, we're tripped up by subtle psychological states of which we are not even aware. It does not have to be that way. Just as the Wright Brothers combined science and practice to finally realize the dream of flight, Ryan and Robert Quinn combine research and personal experience to demonstrate how to reach a psychological state that elevates us and those around us to greater heights of achievement, integrity, openness, and empathy. It's the psychological equivalent of aerodynamic lift, and it is the fundamental state of leadership. Lift draws on recent advances in positive psychology and organizational science to describe four questions that, when asked in any situation, will help us experience the fundamental state of leadership.

Members Reviews: Excellent, excellent..... One of the best books that I have ever read, useful for business life as well as personal life! Excellent, now on my fourth listening Where does Outthink the Competition rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 5%. A great mix of suggestions that are completely applicable in most business situations. A nice step away from the "theoretical" strategy books, to a more practical rhetoric Who was your favorite character and why? Not applicable What does Mark Ashby bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? I listen to audiobooks in the car so I wouldn't have read (listened) this book without him. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely, very compelling. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Practical and Inspiring At one point, the author of this book quotes Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to together to collect wood... but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." This book is built around the idea of getting the mindset right and then taking practical action. It's a very practical book, with step by step strategies for identifying and refining goals, aligning them with market potential, developing a compelling value proposition, connecting with customers, and much more. But the foundation of the strategies is excellence and giving, so there's definitely an inspirational component as well. This is a very accessible book, with clear explanations and real-world examples (but not page after page of stories -- I'm over that, and you might be, too). Each chapter has a summary that clearly outlines the main point of the chapter, and charts and diagrams to help clarify concepts. There are other books that make similar points, but the completeness of this one, and the underpinnings of purpose and value, make it a great choice for reading all the way through, and for keeping on your shelf for future references. Usable Guide Part pep talk and part business manual, this book is well written and smartly organized. It is a book you can work along with. the steps are small and doable. Although much of the content is familiar, it is presented in an engaging, motivational way. It is chock full of tips and techniques and contains charts and diagrams. the author advocates not just fast growth but fast growth with meaning and purpose. This is a usable guide that helps you bring your business dreams into reality. Perfect book for Startup Business! This book came at the perfect time for us. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Decision-Maker-Audiobook/B00BMTAMWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Decision Maker Subtitle: Unlock the Potential of Everyone in Your Organization, One Decision at a Time Author: Dennis Bakke Narrator: Scott Pollack Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-13 Publisher: Pear Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 47 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Who makes the important decisions in your organization? Strategy, product development, budgeting, compensation - such key decisions typically are made by company leaders. That's what bosses are for, right? But maybe the boss isn't the best person to make the call. That's the conclusion Dennis Bakke came to, and he used it to build AES into a Fortune 200 global power company with 27,000 people in 27 countries. He used it again to create Imagine Schools, the largest non-profit charter-school network in the U.S. As a student at Harvard Business School, Bakke made hundreds of decisions using the case-study method. He realized two things: Decision-making is the best way to develop people; and that shouldn't stop at business school. So Bakke spread decision-making throughout his organizations, fully engaging people at all levels. Today, Bakke has given thousands of people the freedom and responsibility to make decisions that matter. In The Decision Maker, a leadership fable loosely based on Bakke's experience, the New York Times bestselling author shows us how giving decisions to the people closest to the action can transform any organization. The idea is simple. The results are powerful. When leaders put real control into the hands of their people, they tap incalculable potential. The Decision Maker, destined to be a business classic, holds the key to unlocking the potential of every person in your organization. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Dennis Bakke) Sat, 16 Mar 2013 13:51:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Decision-Maker-Audiobook/B00BMTAMWO thebookvoice.com 04:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Summary and Analysis: Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull Author: FlashBooks Book Summaries Narrator: Dean Bokhari Format: Unabridged Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-16 Publisher: FlashBooks Book Summaries Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This is a book summary of Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace. Original book description: Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace is a New York Times best seller and was named one of the best books of the year by The Huffington Post. From Ed Catmull, co-founder (with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter) of Pixar Animation Studios, the Academy Award-winning studio behind Inside Out and Toy Story, comes an incisive book about creativity in business and leadership - sure to appeal to listeners of Daniel Pink, Tom Peters, and Chip and Dan Heath. Fast Company raves that Creativity, Inc. "just might be the most thoughtful management book ever". Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and "Braintrust" sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about how to build a creative culture - but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, "an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible". For nearly 20 years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, WALL-E, and Inside Out, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner 30 Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired.

Sin embargo, entre el cincuenta y el setenta por ciento de esos esfuerzos por lograr un cambio fracasan. Unos pocos perecen de manera repentina, pero son muchos los que mueren con una muerte larga y dolorosa que agota los recursos, la energía y la moral de la organización. ¿Quién, o qué, está matando el cambio? Eso es lo que vas a descubrir en esta ingeniosa historia de misterio. La historia presenta al Agente Mike McNally, un detective al estilo de Columbo, que está investigando el asesinato de otro cambio más. Uno tras otro, el Agente McNally interroga a trece sospechosos principales, entre ellos una líder miope llamada Victoria Visión, un gerente que continuamente llega tarde a su oficina, llamado Ernesto Urgencia, una ejecutiva llamada Clara Comunicación, cuya laringitis hace que le sea totalmente imposible comunicarse, y varios personajes sospechosos más. Con toda seguridad, los sospechosos te van a parecer familiares, y es muy posible que los puedas relacionar con tu propio lugar de trabajo. Al final, el Agente McNally resuelve el caso de una manera que te inspirará a convertirte en un eficaz Agente de Cambio en tu propia organización. Al final del libro hay una guía que te mostrará paso a paso la manera de aplicar las lecciones de esta historia al mundo real.

Grant's New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller, Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return. Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Adam Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, Grant shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed - without ever looking at a single number. Praised by best-selling authors such as Susan Cain, Dan Pink, Tony Hsieh, Seth Godin, Dan Ariely, Gretchen Rubin, David Allen, Dan Gilbert, and Robert Cialdini - along with senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estee Lauder, Twitter, Nike, and NASA - Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ant Hive Media) Tue, 24 May 2016 11:46:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Adam-Grants-Give-and-Take-Why-Helping-Others-Drives-Our-Success-Summary-Audiobook/B01G2J7JTM thebookvoice.com 00:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But a disciplined leader is one who identifies and focuses on the vital few: the 20 percent of activities that will drive 80 percent of the results. And the results that are most important are those tied to the organization's most precious asset: its people. The Disciplined Leader offers 52 succinct lessons to help you home in on your own vital few in three critical areas: leading yourself, leading your team, and leading your organization. Each lesson comes with recommended tactics and practical "take action" tips for implementing it, so there are literally hundreds of pieces of must-know, time-tested advice here. The chapters are self-contained, so you can hear them in any order and come back to the ones that resonate with you - your own vital few! This is a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts guide to leadership practice that's built to inspire action, drive change, and achieve results. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (John Manning) Tue, 12 May 2015 02:12:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Disciplined-Leader-Audiobook/B00XINZARY thebookvoice.com 05:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Disciplined Leader TRUMPS All Other Leadership Books IMHO! This most recent book from this organization is absolutely ASTOUNDING! The last book they had was more "testimonial" driven ... but, THIS book, is more about actual instructions on making the commitment, exercising courage, managing things that worry you, encouragement to 'know yourself', being truthful, having humility, how to zero in on your values .... along with a GREAT chapter on how to get out of your own way.... I of course, have become victim to this, and this of course, is of GREAT encouragement. I have realized, that even the best of the best need lessons... Even the best golfers in the world need help ... They all need some kind of tune up on a regular basis. Leaders are not any different --- Every leader needs some kind of tune up on a regular basis ... and this book does JUST that. It truly has helped me to realign what I 'thought' I was doing right... It is a book of encouragement ... and uplifting.... I am also using this book from a personal perspective as well ... Being overweight ... THIS book is an excellent means of encouraging me to make a change in my own life where, for most of my life, my attitude and approach have been cattie-wompus.... I'm already looking forward to the next one.... One of the best managers I have met always writes down what she ... Author John Manning of MAP, an American management consultancy, has compiled 52 lessons for effective leadership and management. All managers have to lead and all leaders have to manage. How much of each is required has more to with the task at hand and the people involved, than with your position in the organizational hierarchy. The word âDisciplineâ of the title is not of the punitive sort, but rather the consistency of a set of beliefs and actions that are vital for your success. No undisciplined organization will succeed for long, no matter how well marketed, financed or inspired. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Chanakyas-7-Secrets-of-Leadership-Audiobook/B07658Y8GM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The treasure of his teachings can be found in his book The Arthashastra, which deals with good governance based on ideal leadership. The concept of the ideal nation in The Arthashastra, called Saptanga, holds that there are seven pillars of a kingdom: Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, Mitra iti Prakritya. For centuries, Indian rulers have used this concept as a model of successful government. In this path-breaking book, Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, author Radhakrishnan Pillai delves into Chanakya's Saptanga with the real-life example of D. Sivanandhan. Former Director General of Police, Maharashtra, and the archetype of an able administrator, Sivanandhan shares his guidelines for effective management, highlighting those that make him a dynamic leader. In Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, theory meets practice, academic research meets vast experience in police supervision and an age-old formula is revealed in a modern-day success story. Together, Pillai and Sivanandhan bring Chanakya's model to life. Anyone can use the seven secrets of leadership to run a kingdom effectively. Apply them in your life, and the magic of Chanakya's wisdom will transform you into the ideal leader. Radhakrishnan Pillai, founder-director of the Chanakya Institute of Public leadership (CIPL), has represented India in various national and international conferences and has taught at educational institutes in Germany (Heidelberg, Cologne), UK (Oxford, Cambridge) and India (IIT, IIM and IISc). His best-selling book Corporate Chanakya is used by business schools around the globe. Pillai received the Sardar Patel International Award in 2009. D.

Members Reviews: Five Stars This is my Mantra of life Good and motivational book A book that teaches you the qualities of a good leader and also motivates you by giving real life implementation of those qualities and thereby describing there results and after effects. Five Stars Explained leadership principles with live examples. Simple reading Indepth concepts explained in simple words Interesting book! Wisdom from ancient India for modern times! Another interesting book by Radhakrishna Pillai! Building on Chanakya's seven pillars- Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, and Mitra- that Pillai introduced in his best-selling book 'Corporate Chanakya', Pillai and Sivanandhan discuss how leaders can be successful by effectively leveraging these pillars. The book follows a consistent format, introducing one pillar at a time, then describing the pillar according to Chanakya, and finally using examples from Sivanandhan's police career to illustrate the theoretical concepts. Pillai's expertise lies in digging deep into Chanakya's work and bringing noteworthy incidents and episodes to life, making them relevant for modern times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Courage-to-Execute-Audiobook/B00HUW36RU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great book that helps defeat the complex with simple processes Learn how to defeat complexity in business execution by learning simple processes, including plan, brief, execute, debrief. This is a great book to help organizations act in a very competitive environment. CtoE Review I've previously read books from former military operators who believe that they can apply the same concepts in the business world successfully. The author of this book falls squarely in that category and has a business that's based on teaching the model that he has adapted. There are some good ideas and concepts but there are also some differences between the military and corporate environments that the author incorrectly correlates as equivalent. Having worked in both environments, I believe that some of the differences could cause problems that would reduce the effectiveness of the program. Overall I do think that a corporation could adopt many of the principals and ideas from the author's methods and be more successful. Great book, great service. The book was insightful and interesting. Amazon is a great way to order books. Five Stars As stated Highly readable, fascinating examples, very applicable. I was struck by a recurring theme in Jim Murphy's latest book and I thought it to be true: no matter our education, the degree of our physical prowess or the type of homes we came from, given the right discipline and the right plan, itâs within all of us to achieve excellence in our own lives. Now, thatâs easy to say, but Murphy lays it our chapter and verse and once again delivers the goods in a fast-paced, well documented case study approach to the military elite and how what they do translates into our own successes in the world of business. I personally felt the chapters on teams were particularly relevant. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Wisdom-of-Wolves-Audiobook/B00EEJK8DW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After considering getting this book for a couple of years, hesitating (I had a gut feeling it would let me down) I finally purchased it. I shouldn't have. It's all over the place. One moment he's talking poetically (with romantic, classical music underneath) about wolves catching a bison and eating it. Next moment, we're back in the corporate business world, where you're left scratching the back of your head wondering what this anecdote has to do with the ravaging wolves just a minute earlier. Oh, also throw lots of even more unrelated quotes into the mix, and you'll have yourself this book. I wanted to like it. I didn't. It feels forced. Man is no wolf. We're not animals. There's nothing to learn from looking at wolves. Perhaps in the rare circumstance of Hermann Hesse's story The Steppenwolf;) And that one depicts exactly why it's not good to be like a wolf. full of thought provoking ideas and concepts simple and yet thought provoking. I learned about wolves and human beings and interesting concepts that flow effortlessly from business to family to personal. Very humane and far reaching views and concepts for all three. memorable book ... Memorable book, wolfs are exceptional animals and a good example for any human been interested on wild nature https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Hidden-Factor-Executive-Presence-Audiobook/B016YWP8WW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Some define it as an aura; others say it is swagger and the ability to command a room. Still others say it is authenticity and personal confidence. Most often, it is the deciding factor in top-level promotions. The Hidden Factor defines what executive presence really is, how you get it, and how it can be leveraged to define a leader better than any other quality being measured. Executive presence has always existed, but in recent years, it has resurfaced as a hot topic among C-Suite executives, succession planners, and development officers. It is one of the top qualities evaluated in potential leaders and is often the missing component that limits promotion. Through surveys and in-depth interviews with over 400 executives, we validated a range of presence attributes and the impact of those attributes in corporate settings.

Members Reviews: Contains coachable skills tips If you could sum up The Hidden Factor: Executive Presence in three words, what would they be? Coachable skills first What did you like best about this story? I liked that the book contains advice that can be immediately implemented. Which scene was your favorite? Chapter 19 "For Women Only" touched a chord with me because - of course - I have done what she advises women not to do. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, it is an easy read. You might want to listen a second time and take notes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Good-Profit-Audiobook/B018UWPBCQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is key takeaways and analysis of the book, not the original book. Inside this Instaread of Good Profit: Members Reviews: ~~ Giving your customers the best ~~ Charles Koch is the CEO of Koch Industries, Inc. Personally he was listed as the ninth richest person in the world in 2014. In this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) the reader is presented with 9 Key Takeaways from the original book. Here are two to whet your appetite: >> #2 - "Corporate welfare in the form of handouts and tax subsidies obscures the free market and is negative for the economy." >> #7 - "In order for a company to succeed, employees must feel as though they are responsible for their work and have agency. This improves accountability and results." How can adversity be a blessing and failure build character? Can we learn from what happened to Solyndra? What does MBM stand for? How many of us know that talent doesn't always equate to having good values? Be careful who you employ, ensuring that they have the same values that your company has. "Koch Industries complicated and thoughtful hiring process is extremely important to the company's growth." Their hiring system "does not value big-city educations or long resumes over the right value system". Instaread describes this book as being a mixed hat with discourse, biographies and principles of MBM all thrown in together. Good Profit builds on the author's first book, The Science of Success. Some subjects are described as being "glossed over". With the original book at 288 pages, this Instaread summary is a great option for those who want/need to know what the original book is all about and get the major points. Please note that my review is based on the quality of this Instaread review and NOT the contents of the original. Book provided in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, Liz Good bare-bones quick summary of the original book by Charles ... Good bare-bones quick summary of the original book by Charles Koch. If you want to get some insight into the mind of "The Evil Koch Brothers", I would suggest reading the original book and then forming your own opinion instead of what Huff Post and others try to feed you. If you are reading this strictly for some insights as to how to run a business...well...Charles and David Koch are worth about 80 BILLION betwen the two of them...I don't know..do YOU think they have anything to teach you?

"This book is for everyone." That's not my line, but the first line of a book on poetry, of all things, by the British poet, Glyn Maxwell. Let me explain: I'm an educator, meaning I'm currently a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, but also in the near past, an elementary teacher in Alamo, California; an author myself, of many books; and one of the major writers of all content for two Silicon-type educational publishing houses: Leap Frog and Smarty Ants. This said, again, this book is for everyone because it brings collaboration into focus like no other book I've read. It's the type of book that says to you: Read this, do this (that is, do the exercises I suggest you do in order get your head into what I'm explaining to you) , get the results, and, finally, just remember that if you do this, you won't need me any longer. Translation: If you've done as Thea Spitzer suggests throughout this book, that is, reflect on your own company's collaborative practices, you are in a position to change your company's outlook, growth, and promise. "The Power of Collaboration" is a true tour de force, an impressive performance. Perhaps because Singer-Spitzer is writing this after years of experience, which probably makes all the difference, we get broad strokes (foundational principles) and nuisance (selfish vs. self-interested). Read the book to learn how Silicon Valley does what they do, succeeds as they do, and then take what you learn home, which you can do given the final chapter! It's truly an amazing text; I'm excited to share my response, as you certainly can tell. GREAT book, really hits the sweet spot on this topic I bought the paperback version of the book because I manage projects for large organizations and feel that there are efficiencies to be gained if our teams do a better job at collaboration. Frankly, though, I had low expectations, because most books like this are either vacuous or too academic. I was very pleased to find this book had a good balance of theory and practical exercises that I believe will be useful for us. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/You-Cant-Send-a-Duck-to-Eagle-School-Audiobook/B00EDSW7T2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I love the book and the simple way of presenting the power of leadership and the characteristics of a good leader. Easy and fun to read format. Short & Sweet Anecdotal book Purchased to read on the way to a marketing convention- it was very helpful! Lots of stories and quotes to help give a greater understanding of the topics. However, I would have like to hear more from the author- it felt like half the book was quoting someone else. Also, it would have been appreciated if there were more concrete actionable items. Love this book Give you some good ideas about hiring the right people so you won't have to be firing the wrong. the read was very boring. The book is almost like a mash-up of ... Got to be honest, the read was very boring. The book is almost like a mash-up of inspirational quotes. I wouldn't necessarily recommend for someone's development. I have to say that I was disappointed that there wasn't more "meat" Just ok. Some amusing stories but very, very short entries. I have to say that I was disappointed that there wasn't more "meat". It was kind of like Chicken Soup for the Workplace but shorter.

Members Reviews: Good performance, not a great story Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend this to people who find the typical Lean books diificult to understand, as the story perspective provides an interesting way of communicating the message, which could lead to better understanding. However, as a Lean professional, I am not impressed with the quality of the story and too much of it seems to be copying of exisiting Lean material out there. I would not recommend it to my fellow Lean professionals What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I felt like all of a sudden the writer needed an ending. It did not provide a good closure to the story in my opinion What does Kent Cassella bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A good voice can bring life to a not so great story which is very much the case for this book If this book were a movie would you go see it? It would depend on the focus. If focused on the remedy, then yes. If focused on the love story, then no Any additional comments? I like the idea but the story could have been done better Great book with some drama as well! I loved the book and the story line. Great examples of creating a lean culture...well really just great business sense. It's definitely on my list for recommended readings. practical lean application woven into a story very helpful as a guide for lean beginners. on the 10the read, I should be well on my way in revolutionalizing my company. take time for the study questions a good book with thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter worth writing down and ruminating on. I found it a little hard to follow at times, not sure if that is due to the narrator or the author taking to many tangents. great TPS Lean book Great Lean Management book with tons of info for all areas of a company and supply chain. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-I-Made-Six-Million-Dollars-in-Three-Years-And-How-You-Can-Too-Audiobook/B077TB2Q3F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A friend of the author who works for a billionaire real estate developer recently commented after reading the book that she has never seen anyone explain in such detail how a deal is actually done as Barry has in this book. He describes from beginning to end the thought processes and considerations one must go through to first conceive of doing a deal of significant size and to then bring it to fruition. It is truly an eye opening experience. The author often compares making money to learning how to ride a bicycle. He explains that no one is born knowing how to ride a bike or how to make money. However, everyone can learn how to do both with a little instruction and practice. Once you learn, both are things you will never forget. It is simply becoming familiar with the process and then going out and doing the work. The process described in How I Made Six Million Dollars in Three Years can be applied to any field of endeavor. The audiobook was created to give people a clear and concise map of how to dramatically improve their financial situation. People simply have to listen to the audiobook, apply the principles to their lives, put in the work, and watch their lives change. If you only listen to one book this year, and you want to improve your financial position in life, please give yourself a gift and listen to this one. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Barry Ellsworth) Thu, 30 Nov 2017 13:14:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-I-Made-Six-Million-Dollars-in-Three-Years-And-How-You-Can-Too-Audiobook/B077TB2Q3F thebookvoice.com 10:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The title, Lead by Example, says it all, and given that approach, the author really gets it right. Books on leadership typically offer advice on strategy and outcomes, message and vision. But Baldoni gets to the heart of the nature of leadership: the living idea of serving one's organization and followers--that is, by example. Baldoni shows how leading by example is the true lesson to be absorbed by modern-day leaders. The chapter on "Being Tough" alone is worth the price of the book, given the uncertainties and turmoil in today's economic climate. I also love the design of this book, and the four clear guideposts the author provides for the reader: Set the Right Example, Act the Part, Handle the Tough Stuff, and Put the Team First. I highly recommend putting this book on your leadership shelf! Leadership advice for everyone Regardless of your current position or role, this book provides great information and guidelines on how to become the leader we all aspire to be. It does so by providing great examples from business and sports, drawing parallels we all can relate to. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking to become a better leader. Great book. Nice short chapters. To the point. Easy read. This is one of the better books I've read on leadership. It avoids going into scientific depth or complicated terms. Easy read and hence easier to remember the message. Must read book!! This book is an easy read! John Baldoni categorizes each section accordingly and the best part is he gives examples of how other successful leaders have carried out what he is talking about which makes it easier to apply. Lead by Example Review A very good book which should be required reading for all new supervisors and managers. Very down to earth, and in many ways just plain common sense, but presented in such a way that that it could easily be used as a guide and reference book. I liked it so well that I orded another John Baldoni book on Communication. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Success-Profitability-Destiny-Begins-with-You-Audiobook/B01F91WR7S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Not a book Not a fan of sales pitch books that have very little content. This brochure doesn't help achieve what the title says. You have to hire him. Great book This book is great for any dentist.

Members Reviews: A Fantastic Masterpiece by the Master of Money What was one of the most memorable moments of The Winners Laws - 30 Absolutely Unbreakable Habits of Success? The Moment when it inspired me to Give 110% to anything Which scene was your favorite? I loved the story of People of center of the earth. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The 30 Laws of Winners Any additional comments? Bodo Schafer, millionaire, author and Europes no. 1 money coach comes with another of his masterpieces, The Winners Law. This Audio book has 30 chapters and l enjoyed each one of them. Here I would like to just give a few of my favorite parts. In chapter 5, the author gives us the success formula in todays world. He puts it very simply, success is performance divided by time. Quick swallows the slow. Very true. In chapter 6, the author helps us to think about our IPAs which is nothing but Income producing activities. He determines that our importance and value is calculated by the worth, we bring to the market. We perform many activities in a day, but our 80% of our income is produced from 20% of our activities. Winners do simple tasks, but they do simple tasks extremely well. I would like to mention the two most common thinking which stops us from performing IPA activities, they are desired for perfectionism and fear of committing errors. The story of the people who live in the core of the earth is beautiful and Bodo Schafer connects the story with the life of an entrepreneur. He beautifully explains the life of an entrepreneur, the summers, the winter, spring and the fall. He explains the SINALOAV principle in detail, Safety in numbers and law of average method and how an entrepreneurs security lies in high numbers. The chapter, which inspired me most was the chapter, the author speaks about the importance of giving 110% of anything. He explains this with the examples of push-ups and how our success muscles are underdeveloped. We need to do pushups for 110% to exercise our success muscles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Equipping-101-Audiobook/B00VUPOBCM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Leadership for a Fractured World Subtitle: How to Cross Boundaries, Build Bridges, and Lead Change Author: Dean WIlliams Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leaders today - whether in corporations or associations, nonprofits, or nations - face massive, messy, multidimensional problems. No one person or group can possibly solve them; they require the broadest possible cooperation. But, says Harvard scholar Dean Williams, our leadership models are still essentially tribal: individuals with formal authority leading in the interest of their own group. In this deeply-needed new audiobook he outlines an approach that enables leaders to transcend internal and external boundaries and help people to collaborate, even people over whom they technically have no power. Drawing on what he's learned from years of working in countries and organizations around the world, Williams shows leaders how to approach the delicate and creative work of boundary spanning, whether those boundaries are cultural, organizational, political, geographic, religious, or structural. Sometimes leaders themselves have to be the ones who cross the boundaries between groups. Other times, a leader's job is to build relational bridges between divided groups or even to completely break down the boundaries that block collaborative problem solving. By thinking about power and authority in a different way, leaders will become genuine change agents, able to heal wounds, resolve conflicts, and bring a fractured world together. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Dean WIlliams) Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:46:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-for-a-Fractured-World-Audiobook/B00TRH5D7M thebookvoice.com 06:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Drawing on what he's learned from years of working in countries and organizations around the world, Williams shows leaders how to approach the delicate and creative work of boundary spanning, whether those boundaries are cultural, organizational, political, geographic, religious, or structural. Sometimes leaders themselves have to be the ones who cross the boundaries between groups. Other times, a leader's job is to build relational bridges between divided groups or even to completely break down the boundaries that block collaborative problem solving. By thinking about power and authority in a different way, leaders will become genuine change agents, able to heal wounds, resolve conflicts, and bring a fractured world together. Members Reviews: An Instant Classic! The world urgently needs this book. An instant classic! Dean Williams, an international leadership expert and one of Harvard's most innovative thinkers, has produced a truly groundbreaking study of leadership. The case studies in this book are gripping and the theory is illuminating, but more importantly, Williams shows us, once again, his gift for teaching leadership in a way that also teaches something that could also be called wisdom. A virtuoso of synthesis, Williams combines academic theory and research from many disciplines, as well as history, mythology, and decades of experience of teaching and practicing leadership into this gripping and highly readable book. In this book, Williams explores the very complex and difficult issue of cross-cultural leadership. A glance at the international section of a major newspaper on any given day will show that working across boundaries is difficult and fraught with failure. It is also, necessary, to the survival of our species, as is urgent improvement in our ability to practice leadership across boundaries of all kinds. In its analysis of boundaries and of the role of the global change agent, this book enriches and extends the study of Adaptive Leadership that Ronald Heifetz began to elaborate almost two decades ago in Leadership Without Easy Answers. Williams distinguishes himself from other scholars of leadership through his lived experience - from the jungles of Borneo to the monasteries of Japan, from the Presidential Palace in Madagascar to the streets of industrial Australia where he grew up, through his keen insight, and through the quality of his quality of prose, which is second to none. This book is a must for anyone who crosses borders to make the world a better place. The book draws from Williams experience teaching cross-cultural leadership to aid workers and diplomats, soldiers and corporate executives, at the Harvard Kennedy School. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Ten-Golden-Rules-of-Leadership-Audiobook/B00PKOSQAW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Chris' review Although the narrator did well with the flow, his voice was too monotone and nearly put me to sleep while driving. The story, great topics but too wordy. There were too many words and big ones to explain an already complex idea. I understood what he was trying to say. I just felt that he could have used a less complex way to explain it. The Romans learnt from them and so can we! What made the experience of listening to The Ten Golden Rules of Leadership the most enjoyable? A very well put together book which looks at the ten pillars of Greek "life" which can be easily mapped to today's business structure. Especially refreshing to hear about Rule #5 and Rule #9 - personal integrity. Simple and very easy to apply to ones life, business or organisation. Well done and congratulations to Soupios & Mourdoukoutas. What about Sean Pratts performance did you like? Brilliant narrator - great voice. Should audition for Shakespeare :-) Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? At how this can so easily be implemented into today's way of life. Any additional comments? An interesting and refreshing tonic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Tribalry-Audiobook/B01F48CSF2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Really Impressed I bought the CD before launch because I wanted to listen while driving back and forth into the city every day. When I got them, I was waiting for a fuse to arrive so the system in my car could work. I was so anxious I bought it on my Kindle and the actual book. I have read Mr. McCann's "Don't Forget to Smell the Roses" and loved his story. I honestly wondered if it would be about Communication 101, but it wasn't. I have to find the right words to say this...it was a man (Mr. McCann) who has succeeded against all odds and in this book he writes about his journey. How important communication is to his customers, his co-workers, and his family. The way I see it is, I'm being told by a man who has achieved the American Dream how he did it - and still does it - by communicating. It's very inspiring as opposed to a checklist. It made me connect to my own ways I communicate with others and thought of ways I could do some things better. This man is a remarkable person! Overall this is a good read. This is a biography of Jim McCann, and he does a good job of stressing the importance of opening a dialogue and starting a conversation with other people. Jim McCann talks about the changing communication mediums, and importance of effectively using each medium in opening a dialogue and start a conversation with others. This is not a TED Talk book, or public speaking book, but it is still a good read. Conversation: Life = Work; Work = Life. Great story, great advice. Practical application of using skills to best communicate and achieve what you need to do. It' a great follow up of "Stop and Sell the Roses". I do wish the audio book was read by Jim McCann himself, but the audio reader was very good. The art of being NICE A quick read on business and life that doesn't try to re-invent the wheel but lnstead help it spin smoothly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Drucker-Lectures-Audiobook/B009RRS2KW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Foundational The book is like an entire MBA lecture series in a day. You get to feel the foundation of management as a science being built over years. Nice material, little structure This book gives a good overview of Drucker's thoughts and the evolution of work throughout the last century. It does not however provide a structured idea or logical conclusion. As a biography/bibliography it is a fantastic listen though. his lessons resonate true still today! I loved it! found it very thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating. It's amazing that his lessons resonate true still today! Will work if you go back in 1900. Predictions, that are realized at least 40 years, by this date. A lot of people glorify Peter Drucker, and I see and understand why, and I have a lot of respect for this man, but life flowing and "show must go on", so thank you, Peter, but your work is outdated, for today, and it's extremly good, that everything evolve this fast, and we evolving much faster, that any predictions of the past can go. PS: I heard extremly small amount of information on the actual managment. Maybe I have to try different book. Master of all This is the master of all business writes..

I recommend it I liked the book because it showed real examples of how the ideas of leadership worked in the world. I liked how management and leadership were defined.

Members Reviews: Engaging summary of what it takes to build a successful business I thought the book provided an engaging and well-researched overview of what it takes to build a successful business. I like that it focuses quite a bit on those things that entrepreneurs often don't carve out enough time for - things that fall into the "work on your business, not in your business" category - such as evaluating your strategic position, setting your Mission and BHAG and establishing and reinforcing an authentic company culture. These are critical components to running a successful business, and the book provided strong reinforcement for entrepreneurs and managers to focus on these areas. It also provides a strong framework for day to day execution and accountability. It's a fairly quick read and the information is highly actionable. I bought the Kindle edition and found myself highlighting a lot of the content. The author consulted with our company a few years ago and we found his guidance valuable, so I bought the book as soon as it came out. I'm glad that I now have a summary of his years of experience distilled into book form. My two favorite features of this book My two favorite features of this book: 1) includes a survey of decades of business thought from the best business thinkers and writers, who Lynch seamlessly integrates into his own recommendations. 2) is very specific, with activities, requested actions, and other interactive elements that makes it a truly hands-on experience, as long as you follow the instructions. The definitive guide on business strategy execution. As a disclaimer, I am proud to call Stephen my friend and colleague, as a colleague I have worked closely with the RESULTS framework. However, I write this review with genuine intent. Stephen has written probably, the definitive guide on business strategy execution. Concise, easy to follow and full of great advice on how to deliver on your strategy. I enjoyed the stories which accompany the guide as they really brought the processes and techniques alive and show real examples of how following this guide can, and will make a difference to your business. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fail-Better-Audiobook/B06XDV2ZRW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The essence of the scientific method is to develop hypotheses based on observations, and experiment until these hypotheses can be proven or disproven - and then to publish the results. What if we could apply the same technique to business problems to create the same kind of success? âFail Betterâ would be better titled âSucceed More Oftenâ. It is a detailed guide to applying the best lessons of the scientific method to business â despite differences between our abilities to set up good experiments and gather data, the fundamentals of incremental improvement through testing and good communication can still be applied, and Sastry and Penn show us how. âFail Betterâ combines practical, detailed advice with concrete examples from a variety of industries to show how this incremental approach can allow us to succeed on the large scale of a project even if we âfailâ on a small scale of iterations within it. In fact, the argument is that many projects fail on the large scale because they donât set up experiments and latitude to fail on a small scale. Coming from the software world, where agile development methodologies that have a similar philosophy have come to dominate, it is clear that this approach can be made to work extremely well if all the parties are willing to look at the big picture and adopt the approach together. Organizations that are not familiar with the approach will require more work â and the biggest challenge is for project managers to get their teams and organizations to buy into the idea that the potential for small failures is the best way to ensure long-term success. Great resource for anyone undertaking a project of any kind I've read a number of books on how failure can ultimately lead to success. Fail Better is one of the best books I've read on the topic because it's written in a very accessible manner and also contains a wealth of practical information and real world examples. The great thing about the Fail Better method is that it can be applied to a project in almost any context. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Tipping-Sacred-Cows-Audiobook/B00CWEB6N2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An Unusually Useful Business Book I love this book. Read it cover to cover. Wrote all over it. I've listened to it a couple times. And I've started to recite parts that are incredibly moving (and sometimes *expletive* hilarious): " ... zombie teams wondering around and snacking on resources ... " It's an unusually useful business book. And unusually well written. The chapters each have something specific to say with at least four sources of punch to bolster the chapter's big-idea; opinion, example, real-world-metaphor, scientific research papers with girth ... and so on. These multivariate perspectives are specifically illustrating and focusing on the main idea of the chapter. It's all written conversationally and briefly. I congratulate the Jake Breeden for completely bringing theory and reality together for us mere mortals to read. This is a very elegant bit of literature. I'm particularly impressed with author's extreme effort to be NOT full of himself. And if some bit of arrogance sneaks out, he taps it with a grin and some self deprecating humor. The chapters of each cow have great resonance in style and content. An inspiration to me for sure. Great work. A big eye opener. And well worth the money. (AND A FUN READ) He sometimes openly challenge some wildly popular books. I've read some books feeling jilted for sure. And it is refreshing to hear an authority make some jabs. I really enjoyed hearing the author state "I am a vicious anti-zealot!" in a Google YouTube video. Made me laugh, and makes me think every time I feel something zealous about to come out of my face. Great work with pragmatic sincerity. Thanks Thanks Thanks. Excelent reading Interesting book, invites you to examine your behaviors and why you do this way, and to find and examine your sacred cows. I recommend to anyone interested in leadership and self growth Waste of time reading this This book is just awful. There is no real valuable information or suggestions in it. My impression is the authors employer told him to write a book or face unemployment so he churned something out. Terrible book. What a waste of my time to read this. The entire book could have been summarized in one paragraph. One of the best new perspectives I've seen I enjoyed this book - it gives a fresh perspective on how to avoid carrying a good approach, strength, or perspective too far. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blue-Collar-Gold-Audiobook/B01JBD18A2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The book is not being 'expressed' through the narrator. The narrator has his own style and what you get is that style - very strongly expressed. He could be reading ANY book - I don't think he is even hearing the words he is saying. I bet if we stopped him to ask what he just read he would have no idea. And that's the problem. After a few minutes I realize I have no idea what he is saying - my mind wanders because I'm sure the narrators mind has wandered. He is just not present or focused on the book and I can't get present either. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Business-Models-for-Teams-Audiobook/B071SDCMYY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Business Models for Teams Subtitle: See How Your Organization Really Works and How Each Person Fits In Author: Tim Clark, Bruce Hazen, Yves Pigneur - foreword Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book will do for teamwork what the cult classic Business Model Generation did for strategy. In 2010, Tim Clark helped create Business Model Generation, a groundbreaking global bestseller on how enterprises deliver value customers. In 2012, Clark and partner Bruce Hazen followed up with Business Model You, pioneering the personal business model technique for individuals. In their new book, Clark and Hazen turn this sights on teams, showing managers how much better their enterprises function when individuals and teams know their role in creating value for customers. Even great leaders face management problems every day. Do we have the right people in the right seats? How do they know what is a priority? Are we making it clear to everyone - across meetings, reports, and projects - how the enterprise creates value, and how each team member fits in? Through case studies, brief exercises and easy-to-follow visuals, Clark and Hazen show how leaders of any group, regardless of size, can help people work independently and passionately toward shared goals without excessive turnover, training, or culture building exercises. While any leader will benefit from Business Model For Teams, it is the ideal book for those confronting big market changes or overseeing new groups of colleagues. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Tim Clark) Tue, 27 Jun 2017 21:11:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Business-Models-for-Teams-Audiobook/B071SDCMYY thebookvoice.com 06:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Very Practical, Actionable, and Creative Approach to Maximizing Team Performance There are multiple reasons that this is an extremely important book on how organizations work and how to maximize the productivity of the teams in them. I have chosen five of those reasons to describe in this review. First, it was co-created by 225 professionals from 38 countries. You get a global perspective regarding how to generate positive organizational results. Second, the book provides dozens of real examples from around the world to support the points that have been made. You meet real people who tell their real organizational success stories. Third, the authors âfocus on using business models to better serve internal customers. This is operations. Operations is where most people work.â The approach to using these business models is 1. Participants draw personal business models. 2. Participants define their model. 3. Participants map individual contributions onto their teamâs model. A foundational part of the learning in this book regards how to create The Business Model Canvas that includes Key Partners and Key Activities as two of the nine elements central to creating impactful teamwork. The authorâs and contributors show you, using pictures and graphics and explanations devoid of jargon, exactly how the process works. The nine elements cover all aspects of business operations required to gain positive results from the work of your team. The authors discuss the rationale for their use of graphics and visuals and pictures and the Business Model Canvas this way, âTo get people to understand and follow a strategy, it must 1) be explained in easily understood terms, and 2) guide actual behavior.â The charts and visuals in this book make it much easier to accomplish that than if it was a typical business book that is mostly words. The authors further explain this focus when they write, âThere is nothing wrong with words of course. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lawn-Maintenance-Piecework-and-the-Beautiful-Business-Audiobook/B012YGD4GO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wss looking for something more formal. This book is a guys tips from his life working, snd is written that way. While it is helpful, talking to a retired manager in real life will do yhe same. Practical Tips for Managers and Supervisors I received a free copy of this book for an honest review. As a retiree I am still interested in the area of management and supervising employees so I occasionally read something in this realm and here was an opportunity to provide some feedback on a book of this topic. My interest lies in the fact that I was given a management role due to my position within the academic structure. Mr. Lowe, the author of this book, is from the corporate world where the emphasis is on the bottom line which is different than the education institution where I was employed. However, the same principles Mr. Lowe addresses apply to all management roles in working with others as their supervisor. Mr. Lowe, in the book's introduction mentions how he was promoted to management with his company, and how often this happens with the promoted person lacking in training for this new role. This is quite common even today and it sure was for me. It reminded me of a classic book on management entitled Up the Organization that addressed this topic back in the 1980s. What impressed me about Mr. Lowe's book was stated in the introduction as his intention for writing it which was to be a "series of tips and techniques" gained from his experience. The book is outlined wonderfully from the Table of Contents and includes practical tips on each topic. I especially liked Mr. Lowe's easy to read writing style and that he included a summary at the end of each chapter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/O-que-podemos-aprender-com-os-gansos-What-We-Can-Learn-from-the-Geese-Audiobook/B074QT4P26 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent content but painful on the ears Is there anything you would change about this book? Train the reader to modulate and stop with the high pitch rapid machine gun attack on the listeners' ears. I can't listen more than a few minutes at a time without gritting my teeth. The voice screams INFOMMERCIAL. What was one of the most memorable moments of It's Your Business? The writing is excellent. The ideas are Spot On for small business owners. Would you be willing to try another one of JJ Rambergs performances? Not if the Narator is the same. Was It's Your Business worth the listening time? Can't listen long enough to finish it. PAINFUL on the ears and nerves Any additional comments?

Title: Leadership Subtitle: A Very Short Introduction Author: Keith Grint Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Napoleon. Bill Gates. George W. Bush. Osama bin Laden. Leaders and leadership are perennial topics of debate. What is leadership? How does one become a leader? Do we actually need leaders? In this Very Short Introduction, Keith Grint offers provocative answers to these questions, prompting listeners to rethink their assumptions about what leadership is. Indeed, Grint argues that leadership is a very elusive quality, and that there are few definitive answers to be found, which explains why most books on leadership produce so much heat and so little light. But there are important questions to ask, questions that shed light on why leadership so resists definition. Grint looks at the way leadership has evolved from its earliest manifestations in ancient societies; highlights the early ideas about leadership found in Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, and others; considers how social, economic, and political forces can undermine particular modes of leadership; and discusses the practice of management - its history, future, and influence on all aspects of society.

For anyone new to the field of leadership studies, this book will get you oriented as well as point you to further resources. As leadership studies quietly formalizes into its own field of study, materials such as this have become necessary -- not only as a way to crystallize what is being done, but to attract newcomers who have had enough of the airport bookstore variety. There is an actual field of study here, and these fellows do a fine job acquainting the reader with the basics. Lightweight, small, accessible -- the book lives up to its title.

Members Reviews: An Extremly Well-Written and Highly Effective Book on Negotaiations and Business Relationship Building! This is an outstanding book that shows us how to literally go beyond a transactional only approach to a deal to making it a relationship that persists after a single deal is already made. The book offer example after example of actual real-world situations on how a much more successful long-term business relatioship was established in stead of just trying maximize a single a transaction and then end up not getting all the benefits that result from a long-term business relationship. I used this book as the text book for one of the courses that I teach at Cogswell College with great success. This book is structure well and the writing is superb. It gets the attention of the reader! A must read for business students, business professtionals, and everyone who wants to master the art of negotiations via building relations. Five easy steps to build long lasting relationships I couldn't put down this book the moment I began reading it. I simply love the way the author breaks down complicated issues such as multi-billion dollar cross border negotiations and daily personal issues such as husband wife relationships. The vivid examples illustrated helped me visualize and think along with the author on how I'd have approached these issues. The GRASP technique is very easy to remember and can be used pretty much anytime. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn about building long lasting relationships with your family, clients, colleagues, etc... It is the BEST! I got this book for my school, and the author is my professor. I usually don't have reviews on the item I purchased, unless I love or hate it. And this book, I loved it! I finished reading before my class even started, and read it all over again while the class going on. The author is one of the coolest people I have ever seen in my life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-for-Profitable-Sustainability-Audiobook/B01EM6AQWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The sequence towards winning is clear: follow the WinAgon as depicted on the front cover page.. Why should this sequence apply only to individuals? Why not entire families and other organizations? This is a well studied, analysed and conclusive guide with empirical insights gained through literature, experiences and anecdotal accounts of professionals, teachers and management in the fields of concern. The author started researching this book in 2003 and published its first edition n 2004. Excerpt: "All the evidence is empirical and/or anecdotal; readers who are seeking reliable statistics will be disappointed, and maybe some researcher somewhere will fill the gap. Nevertheless, personal intelligence, common sense, and conventional wisdom lead the author to believe that the chain depicted by the WinAgon is real and valid."

Title: Breaking the Trust Barrier Subtitle: How Leaders Close the Gaps for High Performance Author: JV Venable Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: For the members of the US Air Force Thunderbirds, teamwork is literally a matter of life and death. On maneuvers like the one pictured on the cover, the gap between jets is as little as 18 inches. The surge of momentum that comes with that level of closure has an incredibly positive impact on the team's mission. As you might imagine, sustaining that distance relies on the highest levels of trust. "On the ground as in the air, from CEO to midlevel supervisor, we all face the same challenge," says former Thunderbird commander and demonstration leader JV Venable. Our job is to entice those in our wake to close the gaps on our teams - gaps in commitment, respect, and integrity that slow us down. Every foot of closure requires those in your wake to let go of the biases and mental safeguards that they believe keep them safe but in fact hold both them and the whole team back. Overcoming the barrier of trust to fly less than an arm's length away from a jet moving 500 miles per hour at 400 feet off the ground is no small challenge. Creating that trust on a team with an annual turnover of 50 percent requires a predictable, repeatable process the Thunderbirds have been refining for more than half a century. Venable has captured that process and packages it here with compelling stories that will build a path to your own extraordinary level of trust. This is a pause register that will be your go-to book on leadership. After you've listened to it, you'll see the power of closure everywhere, and you'll use Venable's techniques to lead your team to an even higher plane. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (JV Venable) Mon, 02 May 2016 11:53:15 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Breaking-the-Trust-Barrier-Audiobook/B01EZ4X6C0 thebookvoice.com 04:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Serving with John on a couple of volunteer efforts, ... Serving with John on a couple of volunteer efforts, I have witnessed his leadership ability with enough appreciation to ask him with confidence to fill in for me when I was traveling. After reading "Breaking the Trust Barrier," I now know that I was just "drafting" behind him - he knows leadership and is willing to help others learn that valuable ability. I learned from the book - and bought extra copies to share with my team. Larry Meyers Without Trust, You Have Nothing! JV's book is more than just theory. This book is a page-turner, and is valuable for anyone at any level of authority. He puts his principles into daily practice. I have witnessed him lead others in the pursuit of excellence. He compels others to trust him, and they, in turn, learn the necessity for being trustworthy and gaining others' trust. I really liked the individual stories that explained various points. Recently I was advising a good friend on her staffing issues, and I referred to "Breaking the Trust Barrier" when I said that, if she can't trust someone, she shouldn't bring that person on her team -- especially if there have been serious, unresolved issues with that particular person with no evidence of change or remorse. Read it -- but make sure you have a free evening without any important commitments, like a flight or doctor's appointment, because you WILL be tempted to keep reading until you finish it! Inside the front cover, I took lots of notes about my favorite stories and quotes ... so I can read them again! Trust is a keystone JV brings clear insight into trust as an organizational keystone. His stories and application of lessons learned is easy to grasp. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-The-Top-100-Best-Ways-to-Be-a-Great-Leader-Audiobook/B00T87H6C6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And yet, year after year, we continue to see research that shows employee engagement and morale levels plateauing on the low end of the scale. Why is this? Why are we unable to move the needle and create the kind of working conditions that not only allow our employees to succeed, but thrive under our leadership? What these findings reveal is that leaders often can't see the gap that exists between what they want their leadership to represent and how others actually experience their leadership. Many of us are experiencing a common perceptual problem where our brain sends us false signals assuring us that everything is okay when it is not. We call this phenomenon Leadership Vertigo.

Members Reviews: A Must Read For All Leaders and Team Members Max Brown and Tanveer Naseer have written a concise, must read, about how to prevent your leadership and team(s) from jumping off the rails. As a 25-year veteran of building teams that produced world class results, this book hits all the key points, at a high level, to ensure excellence in leadership and guidance for team members. In truth, in powerful teams, each person has an area they lead for the team. Max and Tanveer hit the nail on the head in this very readable, and enjoyable book of wisdom. I believe every team member is a leader of something that makes the team click. I also believe that all leaders, new and experienced, should read a lot. My recommendation would be that all of your team members, leaders, and yourself read this book. It will be worth the investment to prevent Leadership Vertigo. Also, this should be a part of every new leaders Onboarding reading. Thank you Max Brown and Tanveer Naseer for writing this book. Inspiring leadership reminder This book is designed to provide leaders with a set of habits to help address differences "between your perception of how you lead and the perceptions of those you lead." If you consistently apply the following 4 interdependent habits, you will break out of complacency in good times and out of myopia in hard times to become engaged in the present while striving for a thriving future: 1. Build community - "Help employees feel a sense of purpose in what they do, as well as feel like valued members of an organization" by providing a common goal, recognition (ex: hand written thank you notes ties to strategic goals), and respect (ex: avoiding special perks) 2. Develop competence - Cultivate emotional intelligence - Recognize that your mood is contagious 3. Earn credibility - Be physically present,honest, authentic (via willingness to share imperfections and vulnerabilities), and self-aware 4. Cultivate compassion - Listen and lead with curiosity What I liked about the book: a. Good introduction to a subset of leadership principles for new leaders; inspiring reminder for established leaders b. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Why-David-Sometimes-Wins-Audiobook/B0036JPZKM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Why David Sometimes Wins Subtitle: Leadership, Organization, and Strategy in the California Farm Worker Movement Author: Marshall Ganz Narrator: Marshall Ganz Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: On April 10, 1966, a crowd of 10,000 farm workers and supporters gathered at the California state capitol to celebrate victory in one of the most significant strikes in American history - one that made Cesar Chavez famous as leader of the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). In Why David Sometimes Wins, Marshall Ganz tells the story of the UFW's ground-breaking victory, drawing out larger lessons from this dramatic tale. Since the 1900s, large-scale agricultural enterprises relied on migrant labor - a cheap, unorganized, and powerless workforce. In 1965, after successive waves of failed organizing attempts, the AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, and the three-year-old NFWA all found themselves on the ground, recruiting members. That year, some 800 Filipino grape workers began a strike, under the aegis of the AFL-CIO. The UFW soon joined the action with some 2,000 Mexican workers. The UFW's leaders turned the strike into a kind of civil rights struggle; they engaged in civil disobedience, mobilized support from churches and students, boycotted growers, and transformed their struggle into La Causa, a farm workers' movement that eventually triumphed over the grape industry's Goliath. Why did they succeed? How can the powerless challenge the powerful successfully? Ganz points to three elements: the greater motivation of their leaders; the diversity of their community ties, information, and skills; and their creative decision-making processes. In total, the ability, or resourcefulness, to devise good strategy and turn short-term advantages into long-term gains. As both a longtime movement organizer and scholar, Ganz provides insight unavailable anywhere else. Authoritative in scholarship and magisterial in scope, this book constitutes a seminal contribution to learning from the movement's struggles, set-backs, and successes. Critic Reviews: "Why David Sometimes Wins makes pivotal contributions to social movement theory and tells a compelling story about the farm workers of the 1960s. This book is a must read for all who want to learn about strategy and resourcefulness - in real world politics and organizations as well as in the classroom." (Theda Skocpol, Victor S.

That year, some 800 Filipino grape workers began a strike, under the aegis of the AFL-CIO. The UFW soon joined the action with some 2,000 Mexican workers. The UFW's leaders turned the strike into a kind of civil rights struggle; they engaged in civil disobedience, mobilized support from churches and students, boycotted growers, and transformed their struggle into La Causa, a farm workers' movement that eventually triumphed over the grape industry's Goliath. Why did they succeed? How can the powerless challenge the powerful successfully? Ganz points to three elements: the greater motivation of their leaders; the diversity of their community ties, information, and skills; and their creative decision-making processes. In total, the ability, or resourcefulness, to devise good strategy and turn short-term advantages into long-term gains. As both a longtime movement organizer and scholar, Ganz provides insight unavailable anywhere else. Authoritative in scholarship and magisterial in scope, this book constitutes a seminal contribution to learning from the movement's struggles, set-backs, and successes. Critic Reviews: "Why David Sometimes Wins makes pivotal contributions to social movement theory and tells a compelling story about the farm workers of the 1960s. This book is a must read for all who want to learn about strategy and resourcefulness - in real world politics and organizations as well as in the classroom." (Theda Skocpol, Victor S.

Title: Why David Sometimes Wins Subtitle: Leadership, Organization, and Strategy in the California Farm Worker Movement Author: Marshall Ganz Narrator: Marshall Ganz Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: On April 10, 1966, a crowd of 10,000 farm workers and supporters gathered at the California state capitol to celebrate victory in one of the most significant strikes in American history - one that made Cesar Chavez famous as leader of the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). In Why David Sometimes Wins, Marshall Ganz tells the story of the UFW's ground-breaking victory, drawing out larger lessons from this dramatic tale. Since the 1900s, large-scale agricultural enterprises relied on migrant labor - a cheap, unorganized, and powerless workforce. In 1965, after successive waves of failed organizing attempts, the AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, and the three-year-old NFWA all found themselves on the ground, recruiting members.

For me personally, having heard the author lecture, it is great to understand his ideas in more detail Secondly, it takes some of Marshall's basic leadership teachings and expands on them using the Farm Worker struggle in CA as examples. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Open-Innovation-Revolution-Essentials-Roadblocks-and-Leadership-Skills-Audiobook/B008SCNZFY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Your workforce needs to be strikingly different, and obsessively focused on delivering on your unique value proposition. Compared with everyone else's workforce, your people need to be downright strange. Change to Strange is about everything it takes to build a workforce that's strange and wonderful enough to execute on your most-powerful strategies and your unique value proposition. It's about understanding exactly how your workforce needs to be different; creating an end-to-end Strange Workforce Value Chain; implementing workforce systems that support your unique goals; establishing detailed metrics based on what makes you unique; using those metrics to drive clarity throughout your entire organization and steer it towards success. If you're tasked with executing strategy through people, and "balanced scorecards" and "strategy maps" just haven't been enough, take your next and greatest leap forward: make the Change to Strange.

Members Reviews: Very Disappointing I listened to about 60% of this book and realized the author has little new or interesting to say. Most of what is in the book has been said before many times over. Lynn Daniel Strangely Uninteresting Have to agree with Lynn's review. I listened to the entire book and there is nothing new here. In fact, some of it is a bit insulting, like build relationships with your customer... "we tell jokes to our customers"...how trite! Excellent lessons Read with a side of Great By Choice by Jim Collins and and Scaling Up by Verne Harnish and you'll have what you need to create an extremely strong strategic foundation for your company. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Heroic-Leadership-Audiobook/B00874MTVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An elementary treatment of a complex subject William Cohen is a retired major general from the U.S. Air Force Reserve, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and holds a doctorate of philosophy in management from Claremont Graduate University where he studied under Peter Drucker. Drucker was a long-time advocate of the U.S. military's model of leadership development. As both Drucker's disciple and a product of military leadership development himself, Cohen seeks to explain and distill military leadership doctrines into beneficial concepts apart from their original battlefield context. Heroic leadership therefore, "requires leading a group with absolute integrity while raising individual performance to a personal best and building a team spirit of sacrifice for the common good" (Cohen, 2010, p. 2). The book is divided into three sections of eight chapters each. Part One, "The Eight Universal Laws of Heroic Leadership," contains basic leadership behaviors such as showing extraordinary commitment to tasks and prioritizing one's responsibility over one's personal gain. This section hails from a style approach to leadership theory (Northouse, 2007). Part Two, "The Eight Basic Influence Tools," details different communication methods and the situations in which they might be most useful. For instance, leaders should have the ability to understand the differences between such styles as deflection, enlistment, and negotiation, and be able to adapt their communication style to the task at hand. The final part, "The Eight Competencies of Heroic Leadership," is a basic skills approach to leadership theory proposing that leaders learn skills such as how to motivate their followers, develop their personal charisma and self-confidence, take charge of a crisis, and attract followers. Cohen's work has several noticeable weaknesses. There are numerous errors in Cohen's historical illustrations that will be particularly noticeable to readers in the armed forces. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Prescription-for-Excellence-Audiobook/B009RT5OCO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Prescription for Excellence Subtitle: Leadership Lessons for Creating a World Class Customer Experience from UCLA Health System Author: Joseph Michelli Narrator: Tony Craine Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-12 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Joseph Michelli, author of The Starbucks Experience and The New Gold Standard, is among the world's top authorities on the principles of creating an organizational culture dedicated to service excellence. In these best-selling books, he examines how leading service companies dominate their respective industries with innovative customer experience strategies. Now, Michelli turns his attention to one of the most complex, controversial, and critical industries - healthcare. In Prescription for Excellence, Michelli provides an inside look at an organization that has become the envy of its industry - and explains how you can dominate your own industry by using the same approach. UCLA Health System is revered worldwide for its top-tier patient/customer care. Great physicians, nurses, researchers, and staff are only part of the equation; UCLA's overall success is a result of organization-wide collaboration that is driven by leaders with a shared vision of unyielding excellence. Michelli breaks down UCLA's approach into five simple principles: From administrative offices to operating rooms to research centers, continued adherence to these five principles has guided UCLA to financial strength, social significance, and sustainability. The best part is that these principles translate to any industry, so you, too, can achieve similar goals. Michelli gives you the tools to adapt UCLA's ideas, systems, and leadership principles into your own best practices. Whether it is a healthcare organization, a financial institution, or a neighborhood hair salon, good business begins and ends with customer connection. When all workers in an organization focus on providing quality care for those they serve, success inevitably follows. Business is always personal; UCLA's leadership ensures that this simple truth drives every UCLA employee, every day. Apply the lessons Michelli spells out in Prescription for Excellence to create a system that ensures that your people take business personally, day in and day out. Critic Reviews: "Most leadership authors describe how to apply common-sense principles. Michelli is a notable exception. He artfully describes the compelling, uncommon leadership practices that transformed UCLA Health System. The resulting lessons are plentiful and powerful for today's business leader." (Lee J. Colan, Ph.D., author of Sticking to It: The Art of Adherence) "With clear purpose, unwavering principles, and steadfast leadership, the people at UCLA have established a new bar, a compelling promise, for what healthcare can and should be.'

Members Reviews: Sound theory yet highly practical It is uncommon to find a book with sound, relevant, theory base, along side concrete practices to try out as you progress through the book. This book provides both, in an increasing scale of maturity. Take this book to practice, and your meetings will change forever. The narration was disappointing. The few parts that were story-like were excellent. But for most of the book the narration was robot-like. Also, the transition between chapters was too quick for me. My uneducated guess is that Ms. Patrick is a great story narrator, with modest experience in reference books at the time of this recording. But I may be just projecting on to her something in me (and do read/listen to the book to get this last pun). Practucal guide, deep experience Making the most of meetings, and the people in through practical tips for meetings, workshops, conference Marv minimises meeting misery Bought this because I organise and facilitate meetings for a living and also because I'm currently studying for an MSc in Organisational Development. It's an absolutely excellent listen; Weisbord and Janoff have a lovely writing style - dry and direct; and in this book they distill two lifetimes' work in the field of getting groups to reach decisions and make them stick. They offer a simple theoretical approach to what needs to be controlled and what you should stop worrying about and bring their ideas to life with stories of professional successes and things they screwed up and subsequently used as learning opportunities - a real mark of honesty and confidence. Some sort of pdf summary would have been useful to assist in summarising the key points but it would be churlish to give this anything but five stars https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Shakti-Leadership-Audiobook/B01DMOB6GC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Open your mind and you won't be disappointed. Not what you expect but the message should be heard around the world. It's about time we soar as humans... Excellent! I was surprised at how deep this book goes. Blends the esoteric with the practical beautifully. Highly recommended! As a CEO I wish I had read this book 10 years ago! As a CEO of a mid market company I wish I had read this book 10 years ago as it has really enlightened me about how to build a great culture. I appreciated how the book helped me look at people not as enemies nor allies but rather as a single group responsible for helping me develop parts of myself that have been suppressed, repressed, or been lying dormant and undeveloped. Shaki Leadership helped me connect to the idea that we should not have anything to defend, promote or fear but rather to seek a deeper understanding of what is showing up in our lives. Another way of saying it is looking at the world through the "I" of the eye" and understand how we typically see and interpret the world is through our own lens of which is not necessarily reality. After reading the book it was clear to me how reality goes much deeper and there is so much of myself that is not fully developed and that is why I should see others around me as people who help me become more of my true self rather than trying to promote, defend or fear a personal agenda I hold. I feel the this book has made me much more aware of how I need to show up and the benefits gained from running my business with love, care, authenticity, vulnerability, and joy.

Author and executive coach Jeff Wolf is a respected authority on leadership, and his strategies and inspiration have fostered dramatic growth in some of the nation's top companies. In this book he shares the secrets of great leadership to help listeners align professional development and exemplify these traits themselves. Each of the disciplines is valuable on its own, but together they add up to more than a sum of their parts and work synergistically to propel leaders to higher and higher effectiveness and companies to better and better business. From initiative to planning to community service, listeners will gain deep insight into what separates the good from the great and how organizations can nurture these qualities in their employees with leadership potential.

Solid Leadership Principles There is a lot of leadership information packed in this book. Overall, this is a great book with lots of helpful real-world examples. It is organized well, but the bulleted and sub bulleted points can be hard to follow in audio format. A printed companion workbook along with the audio would be ideal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Doing-the-Right-Things-Right-Audiobook/B018RHO9MM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Author Inger Andress, uses substantial sources of research to show how humanizing the workplace will ultimately bring success to any organization. The fulfilled life is aware of its passions and desires. Without this chemistry from within, life is viewed as work and work as life.

This will contribute to the shutting down of any vibrant energy and innovative thought in daily life. How do you prevent yourself from getting to this point? How do you get out if you are already submerged? How do you allow multi generations to collaborate and enjoy working alongside each other in such diversity?

Members Reviews: Having read a multitude of books about leadership, this ... Having read a multitude of books about leadership, this is a refreshing chane of pace. For those of us raised on old school tactics, this is a thoughtful look at how to relate to and with a new generation of employees, colleagues, students. The author poses questions at the end of each chapter to help guide you to a deeper understanding of the material. Take a Breath of Leadership Life Inger does a great job weaving together good business sense, ideas and insights with current leadership concepts, anecdotes and relevant thought. I found the book to be encouraging, practical and loaded with helpful ideas. As you think through breathing life into your leadership or organization, Kai-Zen will be a trusted companion. Excellent read. Andress' focus on positivity and compassion as important ingredients for successful leaders is refreshing.

Title: Spiraling Upward Subtitle: The 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise Author: Wendy Wallbridge Narrator: Cyndee Maxwell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Women comprise 51 percent of the world's population, make up over half of the workforce, and control 85 percent of consumer decisions. It's estimated that two thirds of the nation's wealth will be in women's hands by 2030. Never before have women been so degreed or so represented as decisionmakers in all areas of influence. Why, then, are women withdrawing from leadership positions in unprecedented numbers? Why has the tally of women in middle management reached a plateau? The traditional path to leadership in Western culture was forged by men. This linear, head-down, forward-at-all-costs method doesn't work for women, who define success in more holistic terms, seeking both personal and professional fulfillment. Wendy Wallbridge recognizes this unmet need of professional women for an alternative path to success, and her new audiobook, Spiraling Upward: 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise, offers the solution. Using her tried and true "Spiral Up" method, Wallbridge teaches women to cultivate the five co-creative powers of energy, thoughts, feelings, speech, and action. This method encourages each listener to create a fulfilling life aligned with her own gifts and callings. Complete with easy-to-follow steps and exercises, as well as inspiring stories of 30 successful women, this book offers a cogent, step-by-step roadmap for professional women to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Wendy Wallbridge) Mon, 13 Apr 2015 14:45:04 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Spiraling-Upward-Audiobook/B00VX9DYE6 thebookvoice.com 08:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Concise and Compelling Patrick leaves no stone unturned in providing a comprehensive approach to conceiving and building a successful start-up. I found Patrickâs book very readable and concise. The book moves at a quick pace and in logical sequence. Every topic is supplemented with helpful external reference material suggestions and provides clear examples from Patrickâs relevant experience throughout. If you can arrive at that business idea that passes his 5 question test and truly execute against the Plan, Commit and Win Methodology presented in this book, odds are you will win! Plan Commit Win is a great book for all the people who dream of starting ... Plan Commit Win is a great book for all the people who dream of starting their own business one day.I am someone who been in business my whole life and read many business books but was blown away by the different approach and methodology of this book. Reading this book should be a must for the first time or veteran entrepreneurs. .I highly recommend reading this book for any either starting out or been in business for a few years. "The Entrepreneur's Rosetta Stone", "A Must-Read for Motivated Millennials" and "Lessons for the New Venture Capitalist" "The Entrepreneur's Rosetta Stone", "A Must-Read for Motivated Millennials" and "Lessons for the New Venture Capitalist" are all sound-bites for Patrick Henry's Plan Commit Win: 90 Days to Creating a Fundable Startup. Patrick has provided the first written account of navigating the Entrepreneur's path from Idea to Sustainable Value Generation. Every Entrepreneur faces the same questions "How do I get started?" "What do I need to do?" and more important "What did I do wrong?" "Why did I fail?" "What do I need to do differently to make certain I do not make the same mistakes". These questions remain unanswered for most aspiring and and even seasoned Entrepreneurs. In the past 20 years, technology startup, mid-stage, and growth-stage private equity investment has become formulaic and it has become a foregone conclusion that a startup CEO must be replaced with a mid-stage CEO who must be succeeded by a CEO who can take the company all the way to an IPO. This is not the case with Patrick Henry - he is not a "Unicorn" CEO who happened to be in the right place at the right time to conveniently catch a wave. Patrick Henry is cut from the same cloth as the most successful CEOs of all time who also navigated this same course from early-to-mid-to-growth stage success. The difference with Patrick Henry is that, unlike myriad successful CEOs, Patrick has provide a map for those wanting to navigate their way to realizing the Vision that fuels their Passion. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-Steve-Cases-The-Third-Wave-An-Entrepreneurs-Vision-of-the-Future-Audiobook/B01M9I7Y4N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This one just took a long time for me to listen to. The history of the Salvation Army is interesting, but I just found the general structure of the book somewhat boring.

Good reading for all the marketers aspiring to make a bigger impact in their organizations and in the business, rather than just be those that only play with agencies and campaigns. Five Stars Arrived on time and as described. VG A guide to help build business and customer value (for all), this book claims to be the first-of-its-kind for marketers in the 21st century; utilising research to identify 12 specific types of behaviours that can create impact, deliver results and lead to career success and accolade in the process. What a build-up, but can the book deliver? The behavioural types are focussing on the big issues, creating leaders rather than followers, acting as a proactive rather than reactive guide. The authors reportedly have done a lot of groundwork, pulling in research from collaborative partners who looked at over 68,000 executives in 120 different countries, and added to this is real-world advice from some of the worldâs top CEOs and CMOs for good measure. There is a lot of material to digest. This is a book you should set aside time to enjoy, just like a fine wine, rather than rush through it during a commute or when you have a few minutesâ downtime here and there. Low on hyperbole and high on quality advice and observation, this was a worthy book on many levels. It shows, for those who donât believe it, that marketing is an essential evil that can deliver a lot to the company. It should not be viewed as a silo-based activity and neither should its practitioners be side-lined into a narrow vertical area of responsibility. If used correctly, marketing people may even be better-placed to spread their corporate wings and take a much wider, even more responsible position within their company. This may be one of those books that you ignore at your peril! This is not a marketing book per se, it is a leadership book for marketers. It may feel a bit heavy-going but perhaps deservedly so and the information being offered is worth it. It is also something that you may need on your bookshelf and it shouldnât be kept in âvirgin, unreadâ condition either. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-Extreme-Ownership-How-US-Navy-SEALS-Lead-and-Win-by-Jocko-Willink-and-Leif-Babin-Audiobook/B078KMVG7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary of Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALS Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin Author: FlashBooks Book Summaries Narrator: Dean Bokhari Format: Unabridged Length: 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: FlashBooks Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Note: This is a book summary - not the original version - of the following title: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Original book description: In the blockbuster best-selling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Threes Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help US forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed all but lost. In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership - at every level - is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the US and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields. Since its release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required reading for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (FlashBooks Book Summaries) Tue, 26 Dec 2017 17:48:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-Extreme-Ownership-How-US-Navy-SEALS-Lead-and-Win-by-Jocko-Willink-and-Leif-Babin-Audiobook/B078KMVG7W thebookvoice.com 00:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/557/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.
