Members Reviews: the book was fine, just want unabridged I am not a fan of abridged audio books which is why I gave it 3 stars. the content is good but I am going to skin through the paper edition to see what I missed. Good Practical Info Would you listen to It's Our Ship again? Why? Enjoyed this book and others from the same author What was one of the most memorable moments of It's Our Ship? Understanding the money is not the most important thing in retaining employees. Great Book I have his first book "It's Your Ship," and this updated version is better than that. I use these theories at my job in the fire department to help with my daily operation. Good job Captain Abrashoff and thanks for the help. Go to Book for Leadership I have listened to this book numerous times. It is a go to for me. The stories are great and the lessons of leadership are timeless. It's an easy read/listen. It's a top three leadership that I've ever read, and I've gone through a lot of them... Quality principles. Great stories and examples. Very good book that rivide different perspectives that trancend various types of business industries and leadership styles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/A-Summary-of-Built-to-Last-Successful-Habits-of-Visionary-Companies-by-Jim-Collins-and-Jerry-I-Porras-Audiobook/B0118V4F9Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What did you like best about A Summary of Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies by Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras? What did you like least? This wasn't the narrator's fault or anything. I didn't like this because it was soooooo squished together that it was hard to actually get anything out of. I've gone through abridged versions of books before and this was not one of my favorites. summary? more like a summary of a summary. way too oversimplified, maybe I'm just used to more content. Just felt rushed. Never give up on your company - thanks Trivial management dribble. I will get the book and see if it is really this meaningless. Great book but summary is really really short. It's really a great book to read. But in summary it's very short. I have gone through summary of Good to Great. That is awesome. Entire book Where can I find the entire audible book? Not just summary but the entire book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Nordstrom-Way-to-Customer-Experience-Excellence-3rd-Edition-Audiobook/B077KJ7R5Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Nordstrom Way to Customer Experience Excellence, 3rd Edition Subtitle: Creating a Values-Driven Service Culture Author: Robert Spector, breAnne O. Reeves Narrator: Eric Pollins Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The fully revised and updated edition of the classic book about Nordstrom's extraordinary customer service. In this new edition of the management classic, the authors explore in-depth the core values of the culture that have made Nordstrom synonymous with legendary customer service. These essential values have enabled Nordstrom to survive and adapt to dramatic market shifts regularly since 1901, and the new edition explains how the Nordstrom approach can be emulated by any organization - in any industry - in every corner of the world. This is not a book about selling shoes or clothes or cosmetics or jewelry. It is a book about how underlying values such as respect, trust, compensation and, even fun, are the building blocks of a culture where employees are empowered to consistently deliver a world-class experience to customers. Nordstrom believes that the employee experience determines the customer experience, and that when you attract and reward people who are comfortable in a service-oriented culture, then everyone succeeds - both individually and collectively. No wonder Nordstrom is one of only five companies to make Fortune's "Best Companies to Work For" and "Most Admired" lists every year since those surveys have been taken. With new interviews from senior Nordstrom executives and family members, the book explains how to successfully respond to today's tech-savvy, time-crunched customers who demand a convenient, seamless, painless, personal experience across all channels. Nordstrom gives its frontline people all the digital tools necessary to satisfy the customer - and your organization must do the same, if it wants to adapt.The authors show what it takes to earn brand loyalty, lead through change and uncertainty, and combine extraordinary brick-and-mortar with online experiences. 'The single most important reason we try to provide great service is this: It enables us to sell more,' says co-president Blake Nordstrom, great-grandson of the founder. 'The best way for our company to achieve results is to do what's best for the customer.'

The best of all the previous Nordstrom books and a very easy/fun read. I was a Corp officer for 22 years and even I learned a bunch. Five Stars I love this book. Itâs my 3rd copy. A must if you work in the customer service industry. Five Stars Great, uplifting read. Staying Relevant in a Fast Changing World How does a venerable company over 100 years old stay relevant in a world of technology and e-commerce? Apparently by keeping the customer first. this book explores Nordstrom's commitment to its customers as well as the strategies they use to stay fresh, fun and adaptable. the author has made a career about writing about Nordstrom. this book is filled with interviews. although the suggestions are rather broad, they are valid. I remember years ago living in NYC the major department stores were an experience in and of them selves. Expensive yes but unrivaled in making every shopper feel special. But as the economy tightened and things changed, most cut their strongest positive, customer service. they lost their exclusivity by slapping a label on the same item you could buy significantly cheaper at a discount department story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-Secrets-of-Attila-the-Hun-Audiobook/B002VA9BTS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was given this book by a colleague and friend in human resources when I became a leader in an organization that was under performing and in chaos. This was a good primer for me in learning to focus the team to a cause and do so relentlessly. The length of the audiobook made the content easy to consume. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Atilla's defeat in Rome and how he behaved after the failure. Excellent reading with historical inaccuracies It is a very interesting book trying to explore Attila and his abilities to lead which of course were dismissed and partly abandoned by western historians. Although a great read with very helpful ideas found in many leadership books the problem I found was the oversimified perspective given on Attila's leadership qualities. The story serves the leadership purposes but its historical basis is weak since it does not take into consideration the fact that at the time, the collapse of the Roman Empire was eminent. Most of the places pillaged by Attila's hordes were not even defended by armies, and therefore was easy to conquer. His talent seems to lie on his ability to convince the tribes to follow him rather than he strategic and leadership qualities described in depth in this book. just ok Would you try another book from Wess Roberts and/or James Lurie? it was just ok, but not great. the last chapter gives you everything you need. The rest was just a long story. What "secrets" ??? Any leadership book has more! It's a very interesting book on Attila but as far as leadership goes there is nothing you will not find in other more thorough leadership books. This one you have to listen and then ask yourself how you would apply what he says in today's world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Own-It-Audiobook/B00IA4350U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good information but a little hard to follow Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Probably so. There were enough examples in the book to get a feel for how to implement the ideas. However, it was difficult to follow because the flow seemed choppy. What aspect of Ash Mauryas performance would you have changed? I really liked the flow of the example he gave about how he tested product market fit when considering writing his book. I would have liked to see 20 more examples like that for various types of businesses. What did you take away from Scaling Lean that you can apply to your work? Stop spending a lot of time developing a product before doing the market interviews. I have to start with learning what people consider a big problem and what solutions they value the most first. Shift from "inventor thinking" to "entrepreneurial thinking" The most practical book on lean I have ever read I almost did not buy it because of the title. i have read dozens of books on lean. I thought this one was about a ridged set of indicators and theory. i was wrong. Instead it was filled with practical information that I am applying in my daily work within a global enterprise. if you are trying to apply the lean startup method in the enterprise, this is the book for you. if you are already a lean practitioner and interested in lean startup, this book is for you. Good startup book Read it if you like to know how metric helps start up find the way to success. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-Remarkable-Women-Lead-Audiobook/B008FQHFK4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The work of Barsh, Cranston and Lewis provides a great leadership model for both men and women. Be sure you download the pdf as it will help you follow the stories of 25 incredible women who's journey to success at times takes them through valleys or side journeys on their way to success. Inspiring Would you consider the audio edition of How Remarkable Women Lead to be better than the print version? I did not read the print version. What was one of the most memorable moments of How Remarkable Women Lead? Learning the difference between a sponsor and a mentor and what each can do for you. What three words best describe Pam Wards performance? I did not like the narration. Audio books are better received when the author and in this case authors read the book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Any additional comments? I am only just over halfway done but wanted to publish the review in case anyone else wanted to get it. You should. I have not read a large number of books on this topic but I think it's was great. As a women leader you can't read enough the experience older women have and pass on. Most importantly it's current and relevant. Aa good read Although I'm a guy. Thus was still insightful. I will definitely recommend this to people. Great stories and takeaways Might be better to read this book in the paper format as there are reference documents, etc A collection of the stories of women leaders I tried to like it, but its just a collection of the stories about some women leaders. Yes, there are always something inspiring about those leaders, but that can be well just be due to their personalities. The monotone of the reader is not engaging. Its hard to tell one interview from the other. The voice is also not very pleasant. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Unbeatable-Mind-Forge-Resiliency-and-Mental-Toughness-to-Succeed-at-an-Elite-Level-Second-Edition-Audiobook/B00KM6UPOS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Primary Greatness Subtitle: The 12 Levers of Success Author: Stephen R. Covey Narrator: Sean Covey Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-15 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: From Stephen R. Covey - the late, legendary author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - a new set of rules for achieving a happy and fulfilling life of primary greatness. Many of us are hurting. We have chronic problems, dissatisfactions, and disappointments. Although we generally make it through the day, a lot of us feel overwhelmed by burdens we carry. We try to "lift the load of life" each day, and sometimes it's just too much. The idea of living a "great life" seems a distant dream. Too often, however, we have the wrong idea of what a great life is. We think if only we had enough money, enough free time, enough good looks or popularity, everything would be great. If that's what makes for a great life, no wonder so many of us feel so weighed down by the demands of everyday living. Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider "success". Dr. Stephen R. Covey's teachings are beloved and have inspired countless listeners and leaders. Primary Greatness once again delivers classic Covey wisdom in a compact and digestible form. In this posthumous work, Covey lays out clearly the 12 levers of success that will lead to a life of primary greatness: integrity, contribution, priority, sacrifice, service, responsibility, loyalty, reciprocity, diversity, learning, teaching, and renewal. For the first time, Covey defines each of these 12 qualities and how they provide the leverage to make your daily life truly "great". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen R.

Members Reviews: all great thinkers and philosophies come back to this single thing I have always been impressed by Steven R. Covey. To publish this years after his death - wow! Consistent with his other work it helps us focus on what matters, what is primary. While not his original thought, all great thinkers and philosophies come back to this single thing. By connecting and becoming living examples of correct principles we become ambassadors for the things that are important, that protect ours and following generations. The consequences of not doing this are cataclysmic, just look around. Great lessons in Leadership Great work of the legendary Stephen Covey. As illuminating as ever in articulating his mind on what it takes to achieve real greatness. Five Stars I Love this book Four Stars Well doen. ... only 4 chapters in and have highlighted so many amazing nuggets. For me I'm only 4 chapters in and have highlighted so many amazing nuggets.

Members Reviews: Excellent Controversial book Excellent narration and great book on pointing out the controversies of all the leaders. Excellent down to earth ideas I started the book with great hesitation: is it just a cynic preaching cynicism? No. It is a book on the realities of life and what you will have to face if you want to climb certain highs. It seems that the only way to avoid these problems is thru entrepreneurship... And still, be mindful of the coup... Very good book, excellent narration . a very different leadership book he may be on to something, business model of put your own oxygen mask first Antidote to Bromides from Leadership Gurus The leadership industry is full of inspirational, feel-good talk which does not match what the majority of organizational leaders look like. According to Pfeffer, most leaders act out of their own self-interest and are rarely held accountable for bad behavior. Individuals and organizations should recognize this and plan accordingly. Organizations should be made less leader-dependent, balances of power created, metrics and reward systems put in place that assume leaders act out of self-interest. Probably the best book ever written on leadership I long felt cynical about leadership in general and was always sceptical about the stories of inspirational leaders.

Members Reviews: I need the abridged version I listen to a lot of leadership and management books and so was looking forward to this based on the strong reviews. However, as one who reads in order to use the insights and practices in my work, I need books that get to the point a little faster. In addition, I listen while on my bike commute, so if things are dragging, I find myself thinking about other things. This book was just too slow and as I am about 5 hours in, I think I will pass this back and maybe read it when I am retired. Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast! Edgar Schein is the leading theorist on organizational culture and process consultation, and this book is the standard bearer for understanding organizational culture and how to change it. The book is divided into five parts: defining organizational culture and leadership, discussing dimensions of organizational culture, outlining the leadership role in building and developing culture, outlining how leaders can manage culture change, and discussing new leadership roles that are evolving into today's organizations. He makes a critical point that if leaders are not proactive about managing their organizations' culture, that culture will ultimately manage them. As is often quoted in organization development circles, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast!" He also outlines the steps leaders can take to conduct their own cultural analysis. While the book is intended to be academic and is fairly dense, the organizational stories Schein uses throughout the book as illustrative examples add life to the book. A great resource for any organizational leader! Probably skip the audiobook for a text copy While this book is the classic on organizational culture, it's also incredibly verbose and tedious. There's value here, but a 100 page version with another 300+ pages of examples linked to it would be a lot more useful. There were also a huge number of really dated examples (pre technology, companies were mainly dead dinosaurs like DEC), which is because the book is in 4th edition and only lightly revised. I also listened on audible, rather than reading, which made it extra-tedious. (Textbook pricing for the printed or e-book, single credit for the audiobook, so...). I'd recommend reading this as an e-book instead. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Becoming-Your-Best-Audiobook/B01JJQPPC8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great business ideas for an FA This is the first book I've bought through audible and I absolutely loved it. I listened to it in my car, at work during my breaks, and at home while relaxing. Supernova Advisor was filled with a lot of great information that can eliminate wasted time servicing clients who are not ideal for my business and focusing on clients I really like and who like me. It's a great example of quality over quantity. Good book, slightly dated Most of the illustrations and talk of technology firmly date this book to pre-2008, post 2001 mentalities and approaches to the business. The 100 client cap is getting more outdated, through more practices hiring paraplanners. Also, the book is very focused on one specific firm. Regardless, there were some great nuggets in this book. But, it could use an update, or perhaps an additional section for folks outside of the Merrill world. Like many business books, 20 minutes of content repeated a number of times This audiobook falls in to the trap of taking a great idea, and padding needlessly to build pages. A 30 minute version would be of equal value, as the concept is sound. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Las-21-Leyes-Irrefutables-del-Liderazgo-The-21-Irrefutable-Laws-of-Leadership-Audiobook/B010C6NIOQ Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> Título: Las 21 Leyes Irrefutables del Liderazgo [The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership] Subtitular: Siga estas leyes, y la gente lo seguirá a usted [Follow these laws, and people will follow you] Autor: John C.

Members Reviews: Excellent advice to prepare for final interview Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, this book provides excellent advice and concrete examples which will be particularly useful for those who have been asked to prepare for that final interview for a new leadership position by outlining how they will undertake their new role in the first 100 days. Any additional comments? It is disappointing that this new version of the book only provides access to the materials and downloads for the previous version of the book. Frustrating and annoying and seems lazy on the part of the provider not to have provided updated links when they are clearly available on the book's own website. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Bigger-Faster-Leadership-Audiobook/B0725QWPFB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Chand details the account of the construction of the Panama Canal and draws parallels between it and successful leadership methodology. "More passion isn't the answer, and bigger dreams aren't always the solution. Every leader is asking two questions: How can we grow? How can we grow faster? The only way organizations can grow bigger and move faster is by accelerating the excellence of their systems and structures." (From Bigger, Faster Leadership: Lessons from the Builders of the Panama Canal) An epiphany during a visit to the Panama Canal led Sam Chand - one of the country's most respected voices on ministry and marketplace leadership - to bold new insights on the life cycles of business or church organizations. Simply: The size and speed of an organization are controlled by its systems and structures. Members Reviews: Dr Sam Chang is the chief in this space This book delivers practical brilliance.

The book genuinely goes over 17 tips for managing virtual times but I would have like to see more stories or examples of these tips helped a situation. Good concise content! The author does a great job giving you the information you need in a short concise easy to listen to book. Good actionable tips and techniques. I booked you on the 9:30 flight. Very nice and practical The book is very concise and easy to follow. It gives exactly what it promises. It codifies some 'known things' and creates a context for why they are essential when managing virtual teams. There weren't any real earth shattering revelations but it's worth buying because its perfectly packaged for time strapped individuals. The writer offers some tools through his website which I haven't been able to reach because the link quoted is a page with quite a bit of information (landing page )and the documents offered aren't easy to find. I recommend the book it's worth a listen. Brilliant This book is excellent in every way. I love his "cut to the chase" format as much as the actual information....A+ Thank you, thank you, thank you https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-CIO-Playbook-Audiobook/B00AR0X76M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Michael Abrashoff and his command of U.S.S. Benfold has become legendary inside and outside the Navy. Now Abrashoff offers this fascinating tale of top-down change for anyone trying to navigate today's uncertain business seas. When Captain Abrashoff took over as commander of U.S.S. Benfold, a ship armed with every cutting-edge system available, it was like a business that had all the latest technology but only some of the productivity. Knowing that responsibility for improving performance rested with him, he realized he had to improve his own leadership skills before he could improve his ship. Within months he created a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the initiative and take responsibility for their actions. The slogan on board became "It's your ship" and Benfold was soon recognized far and wide as a model of naval efficiency. How did Abrashoff do it? Against the backdrop of today's United States Navy, Benfold was a key player in our Persian Gulf fleet, Abrashoff shares his secrets of successful management including: From achieving amazing cost savings to winning the highest gunnery score in the Pacific Fleet, Captain Abrashoff's extraordinary campaign sent shock waves through the U.S. Navy.

Members Reviews: All Ahead Full In IT'S YOUR SHIP: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy By Captain D. Michael Abrashoff, the author goes to prove once again why the United States Military (Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard) constantly and consistently produces individuals who continue to make this nation the greatest in the world. Capt. Abrashoff shows how he took a ship full of "we've always done it that way" sailors and turned them into "there has to be a new way of doing it" go-getters. His story, could be told by countless of Ship Captains, Company Commanders, Air Wing Commanders, and anyone that has the authority to make changes happen in the military. Additionally, the story Captain Abrashoff tells is that of men hungry for change. If they weren't then this book would have been titled, "I Tried And The Ship Sank." This book should not only be required reading at ALL the military academies but at every Business School in the nation (both Undergraduate and Graduate schools). It states clearly that eventhough the MISSION comes first, the people that make the mission a success should at all cost be taken care of. Failing to do so will ensure the failure of the mission. Listen to this audio book and then pass it on to someone who you think will benefit from the insight, also share it with a veteran and soon you will hear their story of how they got the mission accomplished and the resources and initiative that went into meeting their unique goals. Great Primer to initiating change in your place of business. Book good! Production lacking. Whomever was in charge of the production of this audio book needs to stop. The (insert expletive here) music between sections and/or chapters is extremely "cheesy" and annoying, and it greatly detracts from the reading by Capt. Abrashoff. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Extreme-Ownership-How-US-Navy-SEALs-Lead-and-Win-by-Jocko-Willink-and-Leif-Babin-Key-Takeaways-Analysis-Review-Audiobook/B018UV0EF6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Tough Guys Teach Hard Lessons If you could sum up Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin | Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review in three words, what would they be? Gritty authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's voices alone would be intimidating if their message wasn't so on pointe. Excellent book on leadership told in an engaging way. With real world examples both on the battlefield and in business, this book was a refreshing and unexpected way at creative solutions for life's and business problems. good basic summary good basic overview of the book with the points of leadership but nothing entertaining like the stories or anything else which would generally be the reason a person would buy the book if you're interested in this at all you should definitely purchase the full book it's worth the extra 10 bucks or so You should listen to audible before you do an overview At the very least you should get the names of Important People and Places correct.

Title: Summary of Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek Subtitle: Includes Analysis Author: Instaread Narrator: Dwight Equitz Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-16 Publisher: Instaread Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek advocates for a leadership style that focuses on serving others rather than pursuing shareholder goals or personal interests. Modern trends in leadership prioritize profits and executive bonuses over creating a healthy environment for employees. Leaders who think of themselves as serving their employees like family can increase job satisfaction and engagement, which reduces stress and increases productivity because employees feel secure. For example, in the US Marine Corps, the lowest-ranking soldiers eat first and the leaders eat last to ensure that everyone gets a chance to eat and feel cared for. The best leaders create a circle of safety that encompasses the entire company, which employees can extend to the customers they serve. Poor leaders extend that circle of safety only to their immediate supporters, which increases stress for those outside the circle who may believe that their jobs are not secure.

This audiobook asserts that you've already heard, been taught, and know well the key fundamentals that spell business success, and presents a compelling, four-strategy blueprint for returning your business culture and strategies to a rock-solid foundation of execution excellence. Each chapter opens with "The Challenge", which outlines a current condition that exists due to a departure from common sense behaviors, and tasks you with following the appropriate execution principles to get your business on the right track. After a thorough explanation of "what" and "why" each chapter gives you the actionable "how" so you can implement these valuable steps and master the art of execution in your organization. Shifting sands do not make for a sustainable structure. If your organization is to be robust and strong enough to weather any storm, the strength must come from the very core: the ability for each member of your team to execute daily and effectively towards your organization's most compelling goals. Frankly, the last things most organizations need is another goal they'll miss because they can't execute well. This book reminds you of the four timeless execution methods and strategies that have proven themselves over centuries, and shows you how they are implemented in today's business environment. Today's flash in the pan may be superficially intriguing, but is it really that much different from yesterday's "hot tip." Fundamentals are fundamental for a reason, and It's Not Rocket Science is the commonsense guide to putting away flavor-of-the-month toys and getting down to business. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dave Anderson) Thu, 18 Jan 2018 22:55:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Its-Not-Rocket-Science-Audiobook/B0793GM83H thebookvoice.com 05:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Theory U Subtitle: Leading from the Future as It Emerges Author: C. Otto Scharmer Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Abridged Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: New edition, expanded and updated. With the release of Theory U almost 10 years ago, Otto Scharmer set in motion a revolution in thought. Scharmer explained that what we pay attention to and how we pay attention is key to what we create. What prevents us from attending to situations more effectively is that we aren't fully aware of and in touch with the inner place from which attention and intention originate. This is what Scharmer calls our blind spot. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self - the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration - in the realm of "presencing," a term coined by Scharmer that combines the concepts of presence and sensing. Now, 10 years later, Scharmer revisits the phenomenon Theory U has become and updates and reports on the progress and evolution since initial release. biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.

Members Reviews: Theory U is a promotion and not textbook Because and perhaps I expected to learn about a systematic approach to the practice of leadership, I was disappointed by the extensive promotion included and so little about the subject matter itself. Transformational ideas clearly conveyed So many parts of the book were encouraging and timely. I want to share with a number of people to cultivate discussion around turning these ideas into reality in our cities, organizations and out personal lives. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Illuminate-Audiobook/B01A7QEIEA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beyond the Hero's Journey Would you consider the audio edition of Illuminate to be better than the print version? NO ... but I am VERY Happy that Duarte finally put out a book on Audible. What was one of the most memorable moments of Illuminate? The first few chapters were the best. The case studies seem to be the same ones all the top consultants use in their presentations. I very much liked the inside look at how Duarte applies what she teaches to her own firm. I also liked how candid they were in sharing some of the bumps they've experience throughout the years. What about Patti Sanchezs performance did you like? She is a PRO... and very easy to listen to. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No crying, just the occasional laugh. Any additional comments? I very much wish that the Audio was coupled with the Kindle Edition--Whispersync. And I am surprised that there wasn't a supplemental handout to download (at least not as of this review on 2-16-16. It was only after looking at the Kindle Edition, that I noticed how many great drawings, illustrations, and pictures I missed out on :( okay I heard most of the stories before. Still good to be reminded. I listened at 1.5x Brilliant approach to leading change! If you are a leader who cares about your team members, the insights in this book can provide you with the tools you need to educate, motivate and inspire people during times of change. It will also help you to recognize when change is needed and The various stages of the journey. Each stage has a unique problem and Nancy and Patty offer practical approaches that move you and your team forward. The case studies aren't just "success stories." Instead they illustrate real-life challenges that can occur while implementing these approaches and how to overcome them. I also purchased the hard copy of the book as a reference. It includes a foldout Communication Toolkit that outlines each stage and how to use speeches, stories, ceremonies, and symbols for each stage. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Why-Simple-Wins-Audiobook/B01M6X0RW7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Imagine what you could do with the time you spend writing emails every day. Complexity is killing companies' ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time. Why Simple Wins helps leaders and their teams move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today's corporate world to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value. Lisa Bodell's simplification method has several unique principles: This book is inspired by Bodell's passion for eliminating barriers to innovation and productivity. In it, she explains why change and innovation are so hard to achieve - and it's not what you might expect. The reality is this: we spend our days drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, emails, and reports. These are often self-created complexities that prevent us from getting to the meaningful work that truly matters. Using simple stories and techniques, Why Simple Wins shows that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the busy work that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that we value.

Members Reviews: good story useful tools albeit without concise direction on how to use unless you go back and listen to the book with the PDF in hand. tweaked my interest into her other tool offerings but unfortunately the process to obtain is less than simple so sadly future think doesn't eat its own dog food. Missing the writer This might sound a bit cranky but I do miss the fact that it's not the writer reading and speaking. The voice is not bad but it doesn't feel as powerful or true when it's not read by the writer. Especially this type of books. Stunningly complex solutions to complexity Lisa Bodell prescribes a spectacularly complex set of procedures in the name of helping your business simplify. The complication and specificity are truly stunningdown to telling readers exactly how many minutes to spend thinking about certain questions or performing certain steps in the labyrinth of procedures she gives. A much more helpful and impactful approach would be to state each principle and then show just enough diverse examples so that readers can go off and generalize the principle to all aspects of their lives. This approach is used extremely effectively by Stephen Covey and Simon Sinek. In addition, the readers performance is the worst I have heard on Audible, save for Christopher Hitchens mumbling in his own books. The readers constant, exaggerated changes in intonation are at best bizarre, at worst extremely distracting to the listener. Overall, a huge letdown of a book, especially one written about such an important topic in todays world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Attitude-Audiobook/B01MTEK388 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Attitude Subtitle: Develop a Winning Mindset on and off the Court Author: Jay Wright, Michael Sheridan, Mark Dagostino, Charles Barkley - foreword Narrator: Michael Sheridan Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 57 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of a champion, the coach of the Villanova University men's basketball team shares his competitive and cooperative philosophy along with lessons from his coaching career and the story of his personal road to success. When Kris Jenkins sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament, it was a victory not just for a team and its coach but for an entire program. In his 20th season with the Villanova program, including a five-year stint as an assistant to Coach Rollie Massimino, Coach Jay Wright had achieved his lifelong dream - and witnessed the culmination of a decades-long effort to build a culture of winning around a set of core values. In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015-2016 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors. Each step of Villanova's journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright's own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before you, Jay Wright's core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone - from the head coach to the last player on the bench - can be a leader when the moment demands it. The product of a lifetime's worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture. Read by author Mike Sheridan, with the introduction read by author Jay Wright and the foreword read by Adam Lazarre-White. Critic Reviews: "Jay Wright's Attitude is filled with wonderful anecdotes, life lessons, and that which we all seek: wisdom." (Phil Knight, cofounder and chairman emeritus, Nike) "In 2015-2016, Villanova displayed the best attributes of a champion by playing hard, smart, and together. Jay Wright instilled those traits in his team, and in Attitude he shares the universal leadership lessons that helped it succeed." (Mike Krzyzewski, head coach, Duke University basketball) "In my four years at Villanova, Coach Wright taught me what it means to be a respected leader and how infectious a positive daily approach can be. Reading Attitude made me feel like I was right back with my teammates in a circle at center court after practice, listening to Coach's insight into how I could become a better player and a better leader."

In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015-2016 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors. Each step of Villanova's journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright's own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before you, Jay Wright's core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone - from the head coach to the last player on the bench - can be a leader when the moment demands it. The product of a lifetime's worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture. Read by author Mike Sheridan, with the introduction read by author Jay Wright and the foreword read by Adam Lazarre-White. Critic Reviews: "Jay Wright's Attitude is filled with wonderful anecdotes, life lessons, and that which we all seek: wisdom." (Phil Knight, cofounder and chairman emeritus, Nike) "In 2015-2016, Villanova displayed the best attributes of a champion by playing hard, smart, and together. Jay Wright instilled those traits in his team, and in Attitude he shares the universal leadership lessons that helped it succeed." (Mike Krzyzewski, head coach, Duke University basketball) "In my four years at Villanova, Coach Wright taught me what it means to be a respected leader and how infectious a positive daily approach can be. Reading Attitude made me feel like I was right back with my teammates in a circle at center court after practice, listening to Coach's insight into how I could become a better player and a better leader." (Ryan Arcidiacono, cocaptain, 2015-2016 Villanova Wildcats) Members Reviews: Nova Nation ! Excellent story of Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats. Must read for for College Basketball fans and for understanding of how faith and college sports successfully intersect. Only shortcoming is lackluster narration. Lots of good life lessons Great story filled with lots of sports, career, and business advice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Leaders-Bookshelf-Audiobook/B075LK3D83 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: DISC too restrictive for modern life This book is written so you don't have to read/listen to the entire thing, just listen to what is relevant to you as a leader at the moment. It is an older method from the mid twenty-first century. The problem is this. I took the assessment and listened to my sections. I found that they could not place me neatly on the continuum of the DISC circle. The first part of the description was correct, while the last part was completely off. I recommend "Now Discover Your Strengths" instead which allows for a greater spectrum of human tendencies. Monotone Good advice/knowledge but monotone gets long. Listen while doing something else. Bit pay attention Good info. A little lengthy Good info. A little long. Hard to remember earlier leadership dimensions as the book moved forward. Could have used some look backs as the author moved forward and a summary at the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/On-the-Edge-Audiobook/B00GGO5TF0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Get Your Butt in Gear! Alison's adventures and leadership lessons can motivate anyone to be a better person, for themselves and their team. Give it a listen and you won't be disappointed. Incredibly Engaging! The fact that the author is narrating the content adds substance to the story. the content of the audiobook is impacting and well supported. Alison does a great job connecting two worlds under one banner, leadership. A fairly good leadershp book... What did you love best about On the Edge? I truly loved the climbing aspects of the book. I was amazed at all the author's efforts and dedication to this incredible sport. Truly inspiring and admirable!! What does Alison Levine bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her ability to physically do all that was expected of her as a world class climber was incredible. Any additional comments? I was given this book by my boss when I was recently promoted and opted to buy the audio version to give me something to focus on during my long commute. The facts of the story are very compelling but the overall tone of the writing was a bit less than inspiring. Perhaps if I was a new supervisor or new to leadership, I would have gained a bit more from her teaching moments. It almost seemed like the leadership points were a side-note rather than the point of the book. I enjoyed it but it was not as provocative or defining for me as the climbing experiences she detailed. She is an impressive world-class climber and I wouldn't feel worthy to carry her climbing boots, but as an inspiring communicator of leadership principles, she may have stepped outside of her element... What a great book! This book combined the most interesting topics together (climbing and leadership) very well. Over the years, I found leadership books are boring and put me to sleep. Not this book!! It is captivating, funny, and to the point. Alison shared her most extraordinary experiences, yet very humbled. Then she combined it with leadership and teamwork. What a great idea!! Thank you for writing this awesome little book. Must read I am not one for picking up a book and listening to someone tell me how to be a leader. This book is far from that. The reason I appreciate it so much is because she actually gives examples from her life experiences and applies it to her professional career. I enjoyed this book very much! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-The-Phoenix-Project-by-Gene-Kim-Kevin-Behr-and-George-Spafford-Includes-Analysis-Audiobook/B01EGOLAYU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Following along with the 12 key takeaways I was better able to understand the lesson behind the allegory IT management is not my thing, and I'm not even going to pretend to understand it at all. But hearing that there was a popular book that presented a business allegory about overcoming crises made me interested in "The Phoenix Project." Kim's allegory about a fictional company is based in fact and explores how to become profitable despite set-backs. Working more cohesively, the IT department engages in constant improvement and preventative projects. This Instaread review distills the book into the core concepts. Following along with the 12 key takeaways I was better able to understand the lesson behind the allegory, instead of being caught up in the story of this fictional company. I really enjoyed this summary; I was given a copy to review it. Excellent Companion Piece to the Novel The "Cliff's Notes" for the Phoenix Project. Like most PowerPoint presentations, the bulleted list delivery is not as memorable, but it is excellent as a pocket reference once you've read the novel. Every business leader and IT professional should read this This is a Summary and Analysis about "The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win," by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford. It is a business allegory about how a fictional company becomes profitable after a crisis-driven change in its information technology management style. There are 12 key takeaways that highlight the main ideas of the original book. I have been in IT, IT management and business for years. The original book intrigued me but I decided to read this Summary book from Instareads first before diving into the whole 345 pages of the original book. Every business leader and IT professional should read this book. Even if it's a business allegory, it captures brilliantly the dilemmas that face companies which depend on IT, and offers real-world solutions. This summary book also provides the reader information on the author's style and perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-New-Leadership-Literacies-Audiobook/B074DZRFRN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The New Leadership Literacies Subtitle: Thriving in a Future of Extreme Disruption and Distributed Everything Author: Bob Johansen Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-17 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: A rapid and massively disruptive shift from centralized to distributed organizations has already begun. But current leadership practices were designed for large centralized organizations, making them increasingly obsolete. Bob Johansen, who has been projecting future trends from Silicon Valley since 1968, outlines five literacies leaders need to develop to cope with this brave new world. Johansen says leaders need the literacy of projecting themselves into the future and "looking backwards" to make sure they are preparing for potential new developments. They have to cultivate the literacy of voluntarily engaging with their fear in a safe way, using simulations and gaming, so they can immerse themselves in the things they're worried about and deal with them. Distributed leadership is a third vital literacy - leaders need to know how to guide organizations that have no center, grow from the edges, and can't be controlled. In a globalized world they must master multimedia leadership - the literacy of having presence and influence even when they're not physically present. And finally, to stay on top of all this they need the literacy of creating positive energy: leaders have to be extremely fit, physically and mentally, to keep their own energy and that of their organizations high to cope with this era of extreme disruption. Johansen presents dramatic and mind-expanding examples of how forward-looking organizations are developing these literacies and offers listeners sage advice on how to cultivate them. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bob Johansen) Wed, 02 Aug 2017 17:54:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-New-Leadership-Literacies-Audiobook/B074DZRFRN thebookvoice.com 04:52:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great book, but sometimes i feel that im lost trying to translate what im hearing to what im encountering in real life. Also lots of emphasis and talk while the topic/subtopic is understood within the 1st 5-8 mins Missing content Unfortunately the Audio version excludes multiple chapters, figures and worksheets. Had I known I would not have purchased the Audio version. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Serving-Leader-Audiobook/B019EGP7QM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Serving Leader Subtitle: Five Powerful Actions to Transform Your Team, Business, and Community Author: Ken Jennings, John Stahl-Wert Narrator: Jeff Hoyt Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-15 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: It's people who make organizations great, so how can leaders best help their people achieve that greatness? As Ken Jennings and John Stahl-Wert show in this new edition of their best seller, you can't just demand greatness - you have to inspire it. The most effective leaders don't just stand in front of their people, they stand behind them too. As one of the characters in the book notes, "You qualify to be first by putting other people first." This concept sounds paradoxical, but it leads to extraordinary outcomes - and The Serving Leader shows precisely how and why. While Jennings and Stahl-Wert use a compelling fictional story to outline the basics of serving leadership, all the characters in it are based on real people; the organizations depicted are based on real organizations, and the results they achieve are what really happened. This edition features a new foreword by Ken Blanchard, a new introduction, and a new chapter checking back in with Mike, the main character, to see what he has learned in the 12 years since he embraced serving leadership. On one level this is the most practical guide available to implementing serving leadership; on a deeper level, it is a book about the personal journey of growth that real leadership requires. Great organizations are great because they're filled with people who freely choose to do their very best. It's a maddeningly simple concept, yet it's stunningly hard to execute. Jennings and Stahl-Wert show leaders how to earn that kind of commitment. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ken Jennings) Wed, 16 Dec 2015 03:23:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Serving-Leader-Audiobook/B019EGP7QM thebookvoice.com 03:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Cialdini's Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion examines the compliance methods by which marketers, salespeople, and others, such as cult leaders, pressure people into doing things they would not otherwise do. There are six basic compliance tools: reciprocity, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. Listeners can learn specific techniques to resist each. Humans rely on standard responses in many situations. For example, when one person gives another a gift, the recipient automatically feels indebted and is inclined to reciprocate. These mental shortcuts are usually helpful both to the individual and to society as a whole. Reciprocity helps facilitate mutual aid, which in turn helps solidify social bonds.

The author should have considered hiring a professional reader. Just ok Not a lot of new insight. Ties together concepts that are already well-established and simply places new labels on them.

Title: Be the Business Subtitle: CIOs in the New Era of IT Author: Martha Heller Narrator: Martha Heller Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-16 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Remember the '70s? Way back then, IT was a mainframe that sat in some room and only a few people had a key. Flash forward a decade, and IT was a limited set of systems irrelevant to the vast majority of employees and customers. But today, all of the sudden, technology belongs to everyone. Because of the suddenness of this revolution in technology adoption, most IT organizations have not had enough time to evolve into a "comfortable integration" with the rest of the company. This lack of comfortable integration has led to confusion over who is truly accountable for the return on technology investments, how much influence IT leaders should have over a company's business strategy, and whether CEOs need to hire Chief Digital Officers onto their senior leadership teams. Through interviews with dozens of CIOs, Heller has created a snapshot of what CIOs are doing to lead IT in a climate where technology belongs to everyone. She addresses how CIOs are changing their operating models, their approaches to talent development, and their assessment of the new IT provider marketplace. Most importantly, Heller defines the top 10 skills and behaviors that CIOs will need to develop if they are going to be successful in an ever changing landscape. As a master storyteller, Heller incorporates philosophy, humor, and pragmatic advice into an audiobook that both informs and entertains. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Martha Heller) Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:58:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Be-the-Business-Audiobook/B01M0YELQN thebookvoice.com 05:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Really good! Enjoyed it even though it was more about being a great leader than the Title Not all books are audible The book is not bad. Overall its good. Lots of good information. Its just that some books are meant or benefit more from old fashioned reading than an audible version of listing a series of lists of things to do. Not the performance fault, nor author, just the format of the book, I believe, is not the most suitable for this type of media. It was good. Not 5 star. 4 is good. I found this book to bo very helpful. I found this book made me consider things about myself I hadn't considered. . . Nothing new Struggle to finish. Nothing new and no real insights into how to deal with the problems that the book suggests. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Heart-of-Change-Audiobook/B002V01GWS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Heart of Change Subtitle: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations Author: John P. Kotter, Dan S. Cohen Narrator: Oliver Wyman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-08 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 127 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Now, Kotter and co-author Dan S. Cohen delve deeper into the subject of change to get to the heart of how change actually happens. Through compelling, real-life stories from people in the trenches, in all kinds of organizations, the authors attack the fundamental problem that underlies every major transformation: How do you go beyond simply getting your message across to truly changing people's behavior? Based on interviews within over 100 organizations in the midst of large-scale change, The Heart of Change delivers the simple yet provocative answer to this question, forever altering the way organizations and individuals approach change. While most companies believe change happens by making people think differently, Kotter and Cohen say the key lies in making them feel differently. They introduce a new dynamic - "see-feel-change" - that fuels action by showing people potent reasons for change that spark their emotions. Organized around the revolutionary eight-step change process introduced in Leading Change, this story-driven book shows how the best change leaders use not just reports or analysis, but gloves, video cameras, airplanes, office design, and other concrete elements to impel people toward positive action. The authors reveal how this appeal to the heart - over the mind - motivates people to overcome even daunting obstacles to change and produce breathtaking results. For individuals in every walk of life and companies in every stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures the heart - and the how - of successful change. Critic Reviews: "Kotter and Cohen demonstrate the critical difference that focus, faith, leadership, commitment and creativity make in winning employees' hearts, offering good stories that truly apply to each topic."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Shame about the narration I was really looking forward to hearing Kotter's latest offering and was not disappointed. The first hand case studies were illuminating and inspiring, it's a shame therefore that different voices were not employed in telling them. I found the use of only one narrator spoilt the impact of the content, I found myself nodding off now and then and/or having to rewind to ensure the point being made stayed with me. Great piece of work but unfortunate narration This is a great piece of work with breakthrough ideas. However, unabridged narration does not encourages listening. Sections Missing Any additional comments? The audible book seems to be missing sections, there are quite a few instances where the sentence is cut off and a brand new one with a different topic starts. I am not sure what happened in the editing process. great really enjoyed the thorough insight and looking forward to learn more about the authors works interesting book As a manager, it shows and remind me another perspective of the organization. I enjoyed it as it is accompanied by the book. worth reading it https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Holacracy-Audiobook/B00WFP47MK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Robertson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-15 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 211 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Holacracy distributes authority and decision making throughout an organization and defines people not by hierarchy and titles but by roles. Holacracy creates organizations that are fast and agile and that succeed by pursuing their purpose, free from the tyranny of top-down planning that's instantly out of date. This isn't anarchy - it's quite the opposite. When you start to follow Holacracy, you learn to create new structures and ways of making decisions that empower the people who know the most about the work your company does: your frontline colleagues. Some of the many champions of Holacracy include Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com (and author of the number one New York Times best seller Delivering Happiness); Evan Williams (cofounder of Blogger, Twitter, and Medium); and David Allen. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brian J.

Members Reviews: Good Approach, Not a Book for A Single Read The concept is very interesting and promising. But I found it a bit hard to follow from audio book format because it is hard to visualize the explanations without seeing physically. Also the book tells a method. So critical points should be bookmarked and listened repeatedly. Great idea this is a great topic to cover so please keep coverage on this subject more Incredible ideas for a world that desperately need them This book defines a new paradigm that does so many things which organizations and the world need including clearly defining an organizations purpose and getting everyone in the organization to use their minds to achieve that purpose. When we unleash all of the brainpower and discretionary effort that is currently wasted in the world we will see incredible increases in productivity and innovation. This book provides a system to unlock that incredible potential. Organizations and individuals will benefit immeasurably. Thorough run through holacracy rules and behaviors Good explanation on what holacracy is, how it works and how to introduce it into an organisation. Informative boredom I so looked forward to an interesting read. I enjoyed the concept and am intrigued by the possibilities. My displeasure came not from the new-wave perspective on self-organization, that was enlightening, but from the verbose delivery of the author. I agree with other reviewers in this forum: less would certainly be more as to the too-many words used. That alone made this book difficult to get through. That aside, the construct presented could certainly work if given the chance. Thanks to the author for sharing this ground breaking system. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Tools-of-Titans-by-Tim-Ferriss-Audiobook/B078WD6Q9X Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary: Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss Subtitle: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers | Key Ideas in 1 Hour or Less Author: Millionaire Mindset Publishing Narrator: Conner Goff Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-18 Publisher: Millionaire Mindset Publishing Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Note: this is a summary and not the original book. Tim Ferriss is an angel investor and advisor to various tech start-ups such as Facebook, Twitter, and Uber, among others. But perhaps he is most popular for his podcasts that feature guests from various disciplines, covering a wide array of topics from athletics to metaphysics. His podcast The Tim Ferriss Show has been downloaded over 80 million times, dubbing Tim "The Oprah of Audio." Tools of Titans began as Tim's personal project to summarize more than 10,000 pages of his notes. The end-result is a compendium of tips and tidbits from experts, influencers, and people who are generally considered as success stories. These are people who, like Tim, are titans or super-humans, in the sense that they have accomplished great things in their respective fields, and are driving significant changes in the world in their own ways. Contributing guests include athletic power couple Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece, action star turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, philosopher Alain de Botton, journalist Malcolm Gladwell, and AcroYoga cofounder Jason Nemer, among others. For Tim, Tools of Titans is not just a compilation of quotations, but a toolkit full of results-driven tactics and philosophies that worked for successful people and for him. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he is not a self-made man because he has had a lot of help along the way by standing on the shoulders of giants. Tim made the shoulders of giants more accessible to listeners, and this summary makes it even more easy to digest. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Millionaire Mindset Publishing) Wed, 10 Jan 2018 21:28:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Tools-of-Titans-by-Tim-Ferriss-Audiobook/B078WD6Q9X thebookvoice.com 01:45:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dated and preachy It may have been useful once; attempts to be inspirational but overuses 'always' and 'never', which on second thought....Overlooks the power of context; in my view, rather than thoughtful and instructive is preachy. Listen and repeat. As always, enjoyed the materials shared and learned even more from the personal side. Thanks Love love love!!! It was life changing. Mentoting others is a win-win situation and the journey is better with others in it. Celebrating others heals and takes out the competition. Just another wonderful book by John Maxwell. Wonderful! I always say That I don't know everything and can always learn something new and this book helped in so many ways as a leader! I highly recommend this book if you are building a team in network marketing or if your about to! The guidelines to mentorship The best content packed book I have come across in terms of the what and how of mentorship. John Maxwell is cited as the Guru of leadership, and this is clear proof why he can boast for that title. The narrator does not do the book justice though; for me this book required someone with a deep, passionate voice and that was missing crucially. Nevertheless, it still remains a must-listen for anyone who is already mentoring or looking to start as a mentor - this work should be an essential part of your library. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-10-Laws-of-Trust-Audiobook/B01E0JCL1M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It turns secrecy into transparency, micromanagement into empowerment, and conflict into creativity. With it, a tiny company like John Deere grew into a worldwide leader. Without it, a giant corporation like Enron toppled. In The 10 Laws of Trust, JetBlue chairman Joel Peterson explores how a culture of trust gives companies an edge. Consider this: What does it feel like to work for a firm where leaders and colleagues trust one another? Freed from micromanagement and rivalry, every employee contributes his or her best. Risk-taking and innovation become the norm. And, as Peterson notes, "When a company has a reputation for fair dealing, its costs drop: trust cuts the time spent second-guessing and lawyering." In clear, engaging prose, highlighted by compelling examples, Peterson details how to establish and maintain a culture of trust.

Members Reviews: Joels lessons are unbelievably valuable Many years ago I had the chance to see Joel at work at Trammell Crow, and have not seen him since. Yet his lectures and discussions on line have had the most profound effect on my approach to businesses and lasting relationships of any other individual. His approach to living an ethical and trustworthy life contained in both this excellent book and his podcasts you can find on the internet have guided me from absolute failure at Crow to developing strong lasting relationships leading to hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate. My review in a nutshell- Follow his guidance for a fulfilling life. Role model shares his immense wisdom A truly wise, incredibly experienced and successful - yet humble - leader, seems to be a rare find. Joel is all these things and more. I saw him speak on this subject prior to the books release and he his presentation was outstanding we were all in awe. Because he lived, and lives still, precisely what he preaches as what works best when you want to go down deep to the core of the principles behind a thriving organization and its leadership. I only wish you got to hear his voice on the audio version - finely narrated though it is.

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. biacuaduc@gmail.com (FlashBooks Book Summaries) Tue, 26 Dec 2017 20:33:17 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/B078KNFD84 thebookvoice.com 00:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: You had me at 'YES AND'... I devoured this book in 3 days and find it a tremendous combination of modern business ideology, innovation and interpersonal technique. Many communication and business books are thick with recycled ideas offering only a handful of useful nuggets. "Getting to Yes And" is engaging from the early pages. I like that Bob Kulhan explains the 'so what' factor of each lesson and also provides a full template of how to transfer these lessons to the workplace. As both a college educator and communication consultant, I find relevant value in the adaptability where I plan to draw content for use in the classroom with undergraduate students and in the training room with my adult learners. Business at every level is about relationships and I extend kudos to the author for sharing tools to serve virtually every industry I collaborate with. It is my new 'go to' resource. Improvising Your Way to Creativity in Business Getting to Yes And by Bob Kulhan should be a cornerstone resource for those in business strategy design, new product development, and innovation management. It is unique in that it takes techniques and skills from Improvisation and applies them to business situations. The core approach is to keep things positive, particularly in the idea generation stage, by promoting a "Yes And" environment rather than a "Yes But" atmosphere. In the process, Kulhan distinguishes and makes use of "divergent" versus "convergent" thinking in the innovation process. The book is well organized and structured. Each chapter applies his "Yes And" approach to a variety of managerial issues and situations. Each chapter presents a variety of "exercises" that managers can use in training sessions to promote "Yes And" thinking and to drive creativity and productivity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Three-Box-Solution-Audiobook/B073JR59VZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Great Teams Subtitle: 16 Things High Performing Organizations Do Differently Author: Don Yaeger Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: What makes a team great? Not just good. Not just functional. But great? Over the last six years, longtime Sports Illustrated associate editor Don Yaeger has been invited by some of the greatest companies in the world to speak about the habits of high-performing individuals. Delivering an average of 80 keynote speeches per year, Don was approached by his most consistent client, Microsoft, to develop a talk on what allowed some teams to play at a championship level year after year. From Microsoft and Starbucks to the New England Patriots and San Antonio Spurs, what do some organizations do seemingly better than most all of their opponents? Don took the challenge. He began building into his travel schedule opportunities to interview our generation's greatest team builders from the sports and business worlds. During this process he has conducted more than 100 interviews with some of the most successful teams and organizations in the country. From those interviews Don has identified 16 habits that drive these high-performing teams. Building on the stories, examples, and firsthand accounts, each chapter in Great Teams comes with applicable examples of how to apply these characteristics in any organization. Great Teams is the ultimate intersection of the sports and business worlds and a powerful companion for thought leaders, teams, managers, and organizations that seek to perform similarly. The insight shared in this book is sure to enhance any team in its pursuit of excellence. Critic Reviews: "There is nothing more magical than watching a team come together, to manage adversity as a group, selflessly give to others, to find common purpose. Inspiring that to happen year-in and year-out is what keeps us in leadership. Don Yaeger has studied the best of the best. Now it is our turn to study this book." (Mike Krzyzewski, five-time NCAA Tournament Champion, two-time Olympic gold medal-winning basketball coach, Duke University men's basketball) "It takes a special formula to construct championship quality teams and in this book by Don Yaeger you will be able to see how great teams are formulated.

Title: Great Teams Subtitle: 16 Things High Performing Organizations Do Differently Author: Don Yaeger Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: What makes a team great? Not just good. Not just functional. But great? Over the last six years, longtime Sports Illustrated associate editor Don Yaeger has been invited by some of the greatest companies in the world to speak about the habits of high-performing individuals. Delivering an average of 80 keynote speeches per year, Don was approached by his most consistent client, Microsoft, to develop a talk on what allowed some teams to play at a championship level year after year. From Microsoft and Starbucks to the New England Patriots and San Antonio Spurs, what do some organizations do seemingly better than most all of their opponents? Don took the challenge. He began building into his travel schedule opportunities to interview our generation's greatest team builders from the sports and business worlds. During this process he has conducted more than 100 interviews with some of the most successful teams and organizations in the country. From those interviews Don has identified 16 habits that drive these high-performing teams. Building on the stories, examples, and firsthand accounts, each chapter in Great Teams comes with applicable examples of how to apply these characteristics in any organization. Great Teams is the ultimate intersection of the sports and business worlds and a powerful companion for thought leaders, teams, managers, and organizations that seek to perform similarly. The insight shared in this book is sure to enhance any team in its pursuit of excellence. Critic Reviews: "There is nothing more magical than watching a team come together, to manage adversity as a group, selflessly give to others, to find common purpose. Inspiring that to happen year-in and year-out is what keeps us in leadership. Don Yaeger has studied the best of the best. Now it is our turn to study this book."

Not a lot of new thought here, mostly repetition of previously published material by other authors, but from a team perspective. a must for everyone on a team or leading one what an amazing set of insights from the most amazing coaches, we'll written and insightful Sorry, I was disappointed- What disappointed you about Great Teams? He is a good author and motivational team building coach, but in this book, it's filled with too many comparisons of Sports teams etc. It seems that he is trying to impress everyone of his knowledge of sports history instead of talking or instructing about how to build teams from the ground up and strengthening them. Just too many continuous references to sports for me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Wisdom-of-Teams-Audiobook/B072K71TJN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Invaluable Contribution towards Understanding Team Dynamics As a corporate trainer for over 15 years, I have repeatedly experienced the power of teams. This ability to deliver excellence under change, challenge, and pressure, and actually enjoy it, has been behaviourally demonstrated and reinforced consistently by hundreds of teams and thousands of participants spanning a wide range of culture, industry, and hierarchy. However, all I had with me was behavioural validation till I had the good fortune of discovering this wonderful book. "The Wisdom of Teams" offers rich and invaluable research validation on the critical ingredients of high performance teams. The authors, Jon Kastenbach, and Douglas Smith, have researched teams from a wide range of industry, both high performance teams as well as teams that have failed, and listed very clear parameters that make teams either powerful or ineffective. The findings point to one of the prime responsibilities of leadership as the formation of 'teams'. Once a group of people become a team, they invariably find the competencies, and get the resources needed. Simply because the basic instinct of a 'natural' team is to win. No team is comfortable being second. Integration, collaboration, communication, creativity, managing time, enjoying change, taking on challenge, are attitudinal traits naturally available to a team. This invaluable book defines what converts a group of people into powerful 'natural' teams. This is a must read for all team players, team builders, and leaders of teams and organizations. Highly detailed framework for team development Overview: The Wisdom of Teams presents Katzenbach and Smith's contention that real teams are the best approach to building a high-performance organization. The authors blended together their highly detailed framework for team development with examples of how several corporations successfully or unsuccessfully implemented these team principles. While acknowledging that teams may not be the best solution for every organization's problems, the authors unashamedly insisted that businesses do themselves a disservice by not considering the team-based approach. The book's twelve chapters are organized into three parts: Understanding Teams, Becoming a Team, and Exploiting the Potential. Summary: Part One, Understanding Teams, introduces the reader to the authors' thesis that teams present the best approach to creating a high-performance organization. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-by-Spencer-Johnson-Key-Takeaways-Analysis-Review-Audiobook/B01AYLQCG0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Best Guide to Becoming the Leader You Wish You Had and that Your People Deserve One of my favorite quotes from Jack Welch is, "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." Why is being solid from the inside out so important? First, when you run into adversity or a crisis, what helps you most to surmount it is when you reach inside yourself, you come up with strength instead of coming up empty... and panicked. Second, when your people look to you to get them through, they come up with something solid that emanates from you that reassures them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Co-Active-Leadership-Audiobook/B014VBX686 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And they waste the leadership ability that is present throughout an organization, not just at the top. In this visionary audiobook, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. They begin with a new definition of leadership itself: "Leaders are those who are responsible for their world." Which, of course, we all are, or should be - so everyone is a leader. Co-Active Leadership is a deeply collaborative approach, but the first of its five dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within. We must be fully present and live lives of integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices Co-Active Leadership demands. Each of the remaining four dimensions work together holistically. Depending on the situation, you may lead from the front, offering guidance and inspiration; from behind, supporting and encouraging others; from beside, partnering with and supporting other members of your team; or from the field, drawing on insights and wisdom available beyond the rational mind. Co-Active Leadership is the only model to celebrate and honor these different expressions of leadership. It invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Henry Kimsey-House) Fri, 04 Sep 2015 05:25:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Co-Active-Leadership-Audiobook/B014VBX686 thebookvoice.com 02:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

We are responsible for our own world and cocreate with our complex and mysterious life in different roles! Don't miss out on this valuable information There are pearls of wisdom in this book for every human being. It will make an impact on interactions with family, friends, your community and business. Great Value for Group Reflection! I've read scores of books on leadership. This is the one I find far best for sharing within organizations or groups, as well as being outstanding for any individual no matter what your temperament. The insight that each of us belongs in 5 different leadership roles, shifting often from one to another within our group, is a big "Aha." This book is short enough to work well for a collective read-reflection. Great book as always from the Kimsey Houses A short look into this emerging form of leadership. Some valid points and examples. My top up of Kimsey House goodness.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Read his other books The Good - The main concepts of the book are sound and time proven, and it has some interesting and novel ideas. Moreover, the book has good recommendations of must read works. The Bad - What was meant to be an entertaining fictional side plot, in the fashion of The Goal or The Max Strategy, doesn't work. It ends up being both corny and archaic. Basically, the main character of the book is a 20 something trying to save the large conglomerate which employs him. Give me a break. The vast majority of my peers including myself (in that age group) could care less about the slow and large, uncaring bureaucracies we work for. If anything we're dreaming up of escape plans to start our own businesses. Throughout the book I just kept wondering whether Steve was a complete moron or whether the story took place in my parents' time. A related flaw is how the book's concepts are delivered. Hearing the mentor character, Zhiao, ?give lessons? is akin to listening to Bill Cosby's or Grandpa Simpson's random rambling for hours. It's very difficult to differentiate the useless/nonsensical crap from the great/important pieces of data, Zhiao keeps jumping from here and there. Sadly I could go on and on about how horrible the plot and side dialogue are... ex "What kind of fish do you think you are? I am a light fish." - enough said. Conclusion Unless you have spare money or time ? read Slywotsky's other books to get to the meat of his ideas. This is largely a waste of time. 2 thumbs up Excellent Read. And worth listening to over (and over). I wonder if Slywotzky gets a cut of the incremental revenue on the additional books he recommends? Oh, he wrote a couple of them himself... Worth while all the more since it looks like he definitely practices what he preaches. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/This-Is-How-We-Rise-Audiobook/B078T1BX2K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Very good book to understand about digital , core competencies and marketing share. Very well explained. Excellent Read Must Read for professional who are confused by marketing jargons.Example are very relevant and there is Direct applicability to the work environment. Start your digital transformation This book is the perfect guide for anyone struggling to articulate the need the digital transformation within the organization. Whether you're just starting out or you're a veteran change agent, Digital to the Core does an excellent job of organizing and presenting relevant information that every leader needs to not only no but thoroughly understand. As the book points out there's not a single business that is immune to the coming changes the digital era has already set in motion. I found myself wanting to ask questions of the author as I listen to the book. Questions about what other business have done, what can I do. I was pleased to find that my question were answered as the book progressed. I highly recommend this book to any business leader whether you're struggling with the jewel transformation for you believe everything is on the control this book has something to offer. Good, thought-provoking book I found a lot of good ideas in this book. Highly recommend for CIO's and CEO's that want to start pushing their digital initiatives. My only gripe is that the narrator CANNOT pronounce the word "digital", which given the subject, is sometimes humorous, but often just annoying and distracting. I would consider re-recording it. It's that bad. Can your organisation transform? Great book, with real life examples, to describe how transformation is possible..... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Lean-CEO-Audiobook/B011A4TVS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: lean from top to bottom across industries this is a great read across industries of lan being backed by CEOs for lasting cultural change in many companies. The reader is clear and easy to understand, however it did feel like this book would have benefited greatly by being read in different voices as the different business leaders stories were told. Really good book, better than I expected I liked the history of Lean, and hearing the journey that each lean company took to get there. Worthwhile! I enjoyed the read. What did you love best about The Lean CEO? Another well done Lean Process book. Packed with some great examples of how much impact Lean and continuous improvement can have. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Flat-Army-Audiobook/B00CZC9FY8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Insights for Collaborative Leadership Dans sharing of collaborative and participative leadership is indeed what Dan stands for as an active leader inside and outside of TELUS. Dan walks the talk! I have experienced this having been on Dans team at TELUS for 5 years. Dan was truly a different type of leader and it was refreshing to see how Dan treated all members of our team as equals. He encouraged us to participate with our voice, develop our strengths and demonstrate what we brought to the team through our actions and results. Collaboration was key to our teams success. Flat Army is a very good read, well researched with many great examples and analogies to help all team members work together as one team. No real value. somebody else should have narrated this drags on and on. I listen for five chapters hoping that something would change but there was no way I could continue to go forward. I realized three or four times that I just completely lost it and it was occupied with something else because it had nothing to offer me. I hope somebody else learns at my expense and avoids this. A bit slow for my taste, but a good listen. Narrator voice is not as engaging as I would like, but not impossible to misten. a lot of really good ideas and tips on how to lead diffeent size elements in an organization. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Agile-and-Lean-Program-Management-Audiobook/B01IE000P2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Agile and Lean Program Management the most enjoyable? In Johanna's book she is very clear in explaining what to expect and do in an agile world. I'm currently undergoing a transition from Waterfall to Agile and this book has been invaluable resource for me and our teams. One of our biggest challenges is related to managing up in the agile transformation and chapter 9 (estimating program schedule or cost) and section 10.12 (Principles) was a huge help in shaping how we message and report on progress from our transition from waterfall. What was one of the most memorable moments of Agile and Lean Program Management? Chapter 11 (Develop your servant leadership), this chapter really helped to open my eyes to servant leadership. It was something I've heard of, but didn't give much thought to until really understanding it from Johanna's book. This chapter was a great introduction into servant leadership and now I have added Servant Leadership to my backlog of reading/listening further into this topic. What about Zoe Walronds performance did you like? Zoe did a great job and it was very easy to listen to while driving. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I had many "Aha!" moments when listening to this book. Since we started our agile transition recently from waterfall this book really hit home. Any additional comments? The organization I work for is undergoing an agile transition and we've all found Rolling Rocks Downhill very helpful in understanding this transition. Johanna had written foreword of this book which lead me to find her book Agile and Lean Program Management. It's great to see these amazing agile experts & authors working together like this! Boring and roundabout explanation "The A team presents to the X team who present to the Y team. The C team should report back to the A team once [some process] is established." If you work in a fast paced tech environment where the words "lean", "scrappy", or "innovative" are ever used this is NOT the book for you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Driving-Digital-Audiobook/B073XTJ96P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Content is interesting but should be reduced to 1/5 of the current size Best book I have read on Digital Transformation Several points set this book apart from some others that I have read. First, the author is technical, and has actually been hands-on for at least three transformations. Some CIOs are not technical, but this author can speak with authority because he has been deep enough in the weeds for the reader to trust his analysis and recommendations. Second, I agree completely with the authors statements on Agile, Quality Assurance Teams, and DevOps as a whole. I have experience in a few of the areas, and he is spot on with his analysis. One cannot run a digital transformation without embracing Agile, QA, and DevOps. This book reinforces why. I learned a lot from this book regarding Agile Portfolio Management and transformation into a data-driven organization. After reading the book, I learned why some regular practices will cause long-term problems. I also really like how author speaks with candor, especially in both the introduction and the closing. I appreciate that he is a straight-shooter and tells it like it is. There needs to be more candor like this in many organizations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-from-the-Inside-Out-Audiobook/B002VA8NJC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This book helped me. I learned that leadership begins with the way I look at myself and view others. It is important to start there, then consider the view. Iterative Not sure if it's the chicken or the egg, but this is basically a reformatting of Brian Tracy, Jack Kornfield, Tony Robbins and a gamut of other personal development books. Lack of real life examples I like audible for this book. I wish that it would provide life examples than theory. It would help easy to comprehend the context. Very insightful This is a very useful tool in energizing current leaders and assisting in growth of new leaders! I would definitely recommend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Agile-Project-Management-Scrum-QuickStart-Guides-Audiobook/B01ATW94YG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Agile Project Management QuickStart Guide Agile project management is shifting the world of project management at its core for good reasons. With an approach to projects that is quite different from the traditional waterfall methodology, Agile project management focuses on added value fast while staying on track to achieve a defined business goal. Completing projects in small chunks, piece by piece, allows project stakeholders to implement deliverables much faster than waiting for all phases of the project to be completed, as well as allowing for modifications to project items based on changing needs. Often overlooked as a project management style that is only for IT-related projects, Agile methodology can be utilized to complete projects across any industry, including company reorganization, improving upon or redefining business processes, and simply any project that has short production and implementation times. In this book, I will teach you everything you need to know about Agile project management so that you can comfortably and confidently deploy the techniques and strategies in your projects. I'll take you step by step through the phases of an Agile project, how to schedule iterations during your project, and how to win over project stakeholders with this progressive methodology. Scrum QuickStart Guide Differing greatly from the traditional "waterfall" or "relay" approach to project management methodology, Scrum emphasizes the importance of a cross-functional team that pushes forward together to a collective goal - the project success. Implementing such tactics as "daily scrums" in which all members of the team are held accountable for their accomplishments, current tasks, and potential obstacles, Scrum attempts to create a real "team" amongst all members where all individuals must move forward together, as occurs within a scrum on the Rugby field from which the term was adopted. The holistic approach taken by Scrum not only embraces the importance of progressing as a team, it also raises several important questions that highlight potential inefficiencies within an organization, specifically related to resource allocation, accountability, and task management. Not to be overlooked, the approach taken even from the smallest projects within an organization can ultimately define the overall success.

If Your HR Department Gives You This Book, They Want to Keep You! I first met Ram Charan when he was on the faculty for American Hospital Supply Corporationâs (BAXTER) first Executive Leadership program at Northwestern University. He closed out our week at NU with a full afternoon on strategic planning. Strategic planning had been recently adopted by AHSC and all struggled with it. It was passed down by âcorporateâ with little or no instruction on how to use it effectively. On that afternoon, however, Ram changed everyoneâs thinking. He provided a simple template, which I use to this day, that made sense of the âwhy?â and the âhow?â He connected the dots and clearly showed how strategic planning can be used to create long term value. I have been a âstudentâ of Ramâs ever since. I can guarantee that one hour with him will leave your brain scrambled with many new ways to look at business, career and life. He is a treasure. From those early days, I have followed him as he went beyond strategy to tackle board performance, execution leadership, globalization and now, leadership development for those who will lead in a time of relentless change, complexity and uncertainty. Ram begins âThe High Potential Leaderâ by redefining what it means to be a successful leader in the 21st century. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/24-Assets-Audiobook/B07665LDG8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent framework for building a modern business An excellent read for aspiring entrepreneur or anyone who has aspirations to scale a business. Book provides an excellent illustration and narrative of building an enterprise with valuable insight from someone who has been on this journey. Awesome, valuable and insightful given me lots of inspiration and insight into the things I've been struggling with in my business. Excellent Excellent business book. Great insight into the key areas to focus on and opinion on future trends. From process to assets I have read multiple books on entrepreneurship, I believe this differs from most because it articulates a specific list of things people can work on to guarantee progress, which can also act as a checklist for evaluating a venture. It changed the way I see businesses, and will affect the way I engage in entrepreneurship Brilliant, authentic and deeply inspiring book. A must listen to book with a concise message that builds upon the wealth of knowledge available from Daniel Priestley. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Courageous-Follower-Audiobook/B009WTSFUM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book Very few books provide insight on decisions made by every follower aspiring to be a great leader. This book was great and would rank it in the top ten books i have read on leadership. A Follower, Not A Sheep Would you listen to The Courageous Follower again? Why? Yes. I've read it previously in fact. This book isn't a "self-help" book so much as it is a philosophy book & I think there's benefit from repeat exposure. What did you like best about this story? The book does a good job of putting followership into context. From an early age we're taught that we should always be leaders; being a follower is equated with weakness. But, as Chaleff explains, an individual may have several leadership roles, but also some follower roles, and vice-versa. We wear a lot of different hats in life. Sometimes we're leaders, other times followers. And that's a good thing. Which scene was your favorite? I liked the notion of being a responsible follower. It illustrates the delicate balance between faithfully executing the aims of leadership in a responsible way and in being a slavish devotee--when to try to change an organization from the inside and when to be a whistle-blower. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? A Follower, Not A Sheep. I also think the book's subtitle "Standing Up To And For Our Leaders" would make a good tag-line. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Contrarians-Guide-to-Leadership-Audiobook/B0030CL9TG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Mayer Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-10-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 81 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: In this offbeat approach to leadership, college president Steven B. Sample - the man who turned the University of Southern California into one of the most respected and highly rated universities in the country - challenges many conventional teachings on the subject. Here, Sample outlines an iconoclastic style of leadership that flies in the face of current leadership thought, but a style that unquestionably works, nevertheless. Sample urges leaders and aspiring leaders to focus on some key counterintuitive truths. He offers his own down-to-earth, homespun, and often provocative advice on some complex and thoughtful issues. And he provides many practical, if controversial, tactics for successful leadership, suggesting, among other things, that leaders should sometimes compromise their principles, not read everything that comes across their desks, and always put off decisions.

(Personnel Today) Members Reviews: awesome except last chapter great book... I will reread this and use it for leadership management discussions at work. my #1 complaint is the shameless plug for USC in the final chapter. I would skip that chapter. otherwise, I loved this book. one of the best leadership books I have read in a while. Good Content, Not thrilled with author or writing style I like the core principles of the book but at times Sample gets so carried away with his accomplishments at USC that it distracts from the content. I am all for establishing credibility as a leader but there are a few distinct sections of the book that I feel he made 10x longer than they needed to be for the purposes of touting his personal successes. A smart investment in time and money. If you could sum up The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership in three words, what would they be? Refer to my review of True North. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership? I have not finished listening to the audio book. Presently, I'm listening to three others. Please refer to my comments on True North. Ditto for The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership. What about John H. Mayers performance did you like? Keeps you engage and focused on the the message. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No Comment. Any additional comments?

We are asked to do more with less, but where is the energy and capacity going to come from? Rather than doing more, we need to learn to do differently in order to achieve. We need to slow down to go fast, step back to energize, take a breath to connect with presence, and look at the same situations with fresh, innovative thinking. Otherwise we will continue to crash economically, personally, and collectively. In today's dynamic world, Pause will become the new transformative principle, the catalyst for purpose-filled innovation and renewal. More than just a work of philosophy or spirituality, The Pause Principle provides real tools and practices to make pausing a part of every leader's everyday life. Cashman shows how pausing in many forms can provide better, fresher thinking in all areas of business and human relations. The book focuses on how pausing helps improve self-awareness, purpose, listening skills, energy, problem-solving, and innovation. The Pause Principle gives leaders an alternative path to sustainable achievement. It provides tools to reconnect to self, others, and new opportunities. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kevin Cashman) Fri, 23 Nov 2012 15:60:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Pause-Principle-Audiobook/B00AB18G9U thebookvoice.com 05:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Excellent work and deserves a second read. I read/listened to this audio book some 5 years ago and just finished it again. Strategic and pragmatic for personal and leadership development. This book is one of the most pragmatic approaches to personal growth, growing others, and growing organizations within a culture of innovation and creativity. The writer takes a very simple universal principle "pause" and transforms it into a core leadership competence for leading self, others, groups and organizations to achieving their full potential and purpose in the earth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Effective-Executive-The-Definitive-Guide-to-Getting-the-Right-Things-Done-by-Peter-Drucker-Book-Summary-Audiobook/B019S0W924 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I would recommend it to people who are very busy working in the hospitals and are in busy surroundings where they are preoccupied with many tasks. It will help you prioritize and will help become time economic. There are some v good points given. The summary is very good because I do not have time to read or listen to the big books I started it last night and it's it's done now. I have completed it while walking. The original book on productivity Anything with Peter Drucker's name on it is masterful. This audiobook summary is one of them. Great work on distilling Drucker's concepts. A Must for all executives and subordinates A great tool for reviewing the book you just read - it brings it all into perspective Get to the meat of the book Sometimes you just want to get to the point. These guys really boil down to the essential details of the book well. Great book Great Book. Very practical examples and easy to follow.

I am an executive coach and often work with managers and executives on career or leadership transitions. This book nails it. It is a very concise and organized view of what to do when you are in your new role to succeed quickly and effectively. My favorite quote "If you plan to show up and do your best, you're still thinking like an individual contributor." Common Sense Advice All Leaders Need I just read "42 Rules for Your New Leadership Role." Then I reread it. This book is dynamite! Author Pam Fox Rollin gets it about leadership, and how to transition into your new leadership role. The book is easy to read -- and use. Its format, 42 short essays on making the transition to leadership, makes it a valuable resource for new and experienced leaders. It is the very best "how to" guide for leaders I've come across -- and I've read a ton of leadership books. I particularly like Rule 4, "Draft Your Strategic One-Pager." Rollin's advice, "Summarize you company's strategy and your team's role," is solid, but often overlooked common sense. She asks some thought provoking questions and suggests that the reader answer them in a one page summary. Rule 15, "Show People How to Work With You," is another great piece of common sense leadership advice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Business-Ideas-Real-Ideas-to-Make-Real-Money-Audiobook/B078X25DV2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Practical Ideas This is one of the most captivating business books I've read in several years. Karen very accurately describes many of the primary contributors to corporate chaos and offers practical ways to begin addressing them. There are several suggestions I'm looking to implement immediately in my sphere of influence like developing an onboarding process for new hires, and utilizing more simplistic metrics to measure our business. From the foundations of building an organization upon sound practices like developing an end-to-end culture of continuous improvement, ensuring everyone is empowered as a problem solver, to helping push through when things get tough. Karen has us focus on four key chaos killers; driving for a level of clarity needed to be successful at a process/task, increasing focus by avoiding the multi-tasking myth, developing higher levels of discipline by finishing things 100% to completion for greater learnings, and lastly valuing the at deeper level the contributions of others thoughts and experiences thereby encouraging higher engagement. Like many improvement methods, Karen's ideas transcend the business world and actually has me thinking about how I can work with my kids to further develop how they approach problems. The additional things I really appreciated about this book was her approach of standing on the shoulder of the greats by offering very practical suggestions for using or rethinking what has already been done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Synchronicity-Audiobook/B002VACOYW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm sure you'll love it. If you're a lover of Jung and all things philosophical/metaphysical, don't bother. God, I so don't care about the implementation of global strategies for Shell oil company . . . First half was great, second was a snooze fest I felt that the book started strong and held my interest, however, halfway through I found myself nodding off. I was expecting a more engaging story and more lessons to be learned than there were. Disappointing, but this book was required reading for a class that I am taking. Ugggh! He read his diary to us. No real substance that teaches any lessons that one can apply to their own life. Book fell short. Started very strong but turned into gibberish. This was basically an autobiography but never really told how you could achieve this self actualized level.

Taken advantage of? Reluctant (or unable) to articulate what you really want? If so, join the club. The Nice Girls Club. Nice girls - that's right, girls - are those who are more concerned with pleasing others than with addressing their own needs and who haven't yet learned how to overcome the childhood messages and cultural stereotypes that are keeping them from getting their voices heard, their needs met, and the lives they want. This book will turn those nice girls into winning women. That is, women who factor their own needs in with those of others, confront those who treat them disrespectfully, maintain healthy and mutually beneficial relationships with appropriate boundaries - and, as a result, are happier and more successful in every area of their lives. In 2004, Lois Frankel blew the lid off so many of our long-held ideas about gender and success with her best-selling Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, which went on to become such a huge phenomenon that the term nice girls has secured a place in our cultural lexicon. Here, Frankel teams up with negotiation expert Carol Frohlinger to bring this best-selling advice out of the workplace and to provide a broader set of skills that any woman - whether a CEO or stay-at-home mom - can use to win anywhere, with anyone. Presented in the straightforward, digestible format that helped make Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office an instant hit, Frankel and Frohlinger outline seven practical strategies and 99 supporting tactics that every winning woman should know.

I enjoyed this book but a section of it rubbed me the wrong way. The author says that winning women need to build mutually beneficial relationships and should not spend the same time on with a sales clerk as someone who can help them advance in their career. I guess this does not jive with my Christian perspective where you are nice to everyone because we are all human and deserve the same respect and love regardless of where we come from and where we are going. So a calculating method does not equal winning in my book. This book is a definite confidence boost and I realized that I place too much importance on how others view me and that this can be limiting. I only have a problem when things become calculating. Like reading a text book Not bad info but really hard to get through. Painful like reading a text book or listening to a never ending lecture at school. Get ready to blame everything on your childhood What disappointed you about Nice Girls Just Don't Get It? I just couldn't get through the initial emphasis on rooting out childhood trauma to explain adult dysfunction. As an adult, I believe I am in control of my behavior and future. I don't need to rehash childhood drama in order to move forward in life. Rather, I need solid tactics that will help me be a better communicator. Would you ever listen to anything by Lois P. Frankel and Carol Frohlinger again? Probably not Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Marguerite Gavin? Not a fan. It was a very fake, infomercial type voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Heart-Led-Leader-Audiobook/B01670GGPY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In his new audiobook, The Heart-Led Leader, Spaulding turns his focus to ourselves - to who we are. Authentic leaders, Spaulding says, live and lead from the heart. The values and principles that guide our lives and shape our ability to lead others is far more important than our titles or our ability to crunch numbers or the impressive degrees we display on our walls. To effect true transformational change, heart-led leaders draw on the qualities of humility, vulnerability, transparency, empathy, and love. Illustrated with stories from his own life and from some of the exceptional leaders he has met and worked with over the years, Spaulding unpacks what those qualities mean, talks about the 18-inch journey from the head to the heart - from our intellect to our emotions - and shows us how to incorporate them into our careers, into how we manage and lead others, and into how we live our lives.

Members Reviews: More of same Not a bad book nor a bad concept, But there is nothing new or Earth-shattering. Very similar to many other Leadership books and the author did little more then coin a few catchphrases to change the semantics Simple Story The stories shared how others transformed their organizations and the power of storytelling was reinforced, however transitioning these stories into heart-led leadership traits takes more guidedance that is provided in the book. There is a lot more to it! Inspirational and meaningful! The Author is truly inspirational and yet the message is so simple- it comes down to love it all your dealings.

Switch by Chip Heath and Dan Heath| Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard (2010) is about how to bring about change in an organization. Its main focus is changing behavior by appealing to the rational and emotional sides of people's psyches. To generate change, authors Chip and Dan Heath believe a leader must connect with both sides, the rational and the emotional. This is because sometimes, one side can work against the other and sabotage successful change. The rational side tends to analyze possibilities for change so much that it becomes unable to act - so change never occurs. The emotional side is ready, or even eager, to act on change, but it can act compulsively and without focus. This means that changes based solely on emotion are likely to fail. To bring about real change, a leader must stimulate the emotional side of a group's psyche to get the process of change underway, then harness its rational side to give this change a concerted direction....

This is however to be expected from a book focusing on analysis and review. the analysis and review was both clear and sufficient. I got the most valuable points from the original book at a fraction of the price and time. Good Summary This was easy to listen to .. and it did a great job with key points and take aways. Nothing special This is a rather predictable and generic mini handbook on how to facilitate change. I found its main premises rather obvious. This is not the book, this is an analysis of it. I didn't notice when I saw this that it was an analysis of the book and not the book itself. My mistake. The analysis is fairly dry and honestly I don't think it provides any value. I imagine the book itself is where the value is. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Silent-Language-of-Leaders-Audiobook/B009NUJB6W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narrator makes this a difficult listen. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The content of this book is fine. However, the narrator has an annoying verbal tick. Before many of the words, she makes a slight "emm" sound. It is as though the once had a stutter and has learned the technique of pre-starting words with this noise. It makes for a very choppy understanding as you cannot listen smoothly. What could Carol Kinsey Goman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The sections on the question and answers with business people from around the world are VERY tedious to listen too. I sense that it would be much better if I could have visualized these sections on a page. Listening to them was tedious. Would you be willing to try another one of Vanessa Harts performances? No. Defintely not. She had the tempo of the reading wrong and an annoying verbal tick. Sometimes, it took my brain a couple of seconds to realize what word she had been saying. For example, if she was saying "Japan" it would be "a Japan" which wouldn't then make sense in the grammatical construction of the sentence. It was so hard to figure out what she was saying that I couldn't process the actual content as the narration went along. Who do you think would benefit most from listening to The Silent Language of Leaders? business people. Any additional comments? I wish I could return this book. Definitely not a good read. Horrible Narration, good information Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I couldn't deal with the narrator. Her manner of speaking sounds like she's trying to be an aristocrat. It's supremely annoying and takes away from the content. Who was your favorite character and why? No characters Would you be willing to try another one of Vanessa Harts performances? No. Could you see The Silent Language of Leaders being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? NO. Any additional comments? No. Well done I felt like the book was well written and well performperformed. It covered a lot of interesting information and added some great insight from a leadership perspective. Even if you have read other body language books, I still recommend this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Think-Twice-Audiobook/B004618CHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Think Twice Subtitle: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition Author: Michael J. Mauboussin Narrator: Walter Dixon Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-10 Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 126 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: How to stop yourself before you make another costly decision.... No one intentionally makes bad decisions. Yet we make them all the time. In fact, some of the worst disasters in recent history - the collapse of major investment banks, the global financial meltdown - were the result of seemingly reasonable decisions made by a lot of smart people. How does this happen? Michael J. Mauboussin argues that the correct process for deciding well - especially when the stakes are high - conflicts with how our minds naturally work. When faced with complex situations, our brains revert to simplified patterns that obscure better approaches to the problem. Even when we think were applying logic and reason, were subconsciously succumbing to social or situational influences. Fortunately, we can override our minds default systems - that is, we can counter our intuition - by learning to think twice. In this compelling audiobook, Mauboussin outlines a disciplined approach to decision-making that will significantly reduce costly mistakes. Through vivid stories from business, sports, science, and everyday life, Mauboussin categorizes common mental mistakes and offers actionable advice for avoiding them, including: Backed by powerful research and shrewd analysis, this audio book gives you a mental toolkit for spotting dangerous decision traps - and making smarter choices in your professional and personal life. Critic Reviews: Its hard to think of a longer lever than better decision making, and today research in this area is advancing rapidly. In Think Twice, Mauboussin boils it all down into the key insights you really need in order to train yourself to make effective, stronger decisions.

(Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO, Amazon.com) Members Reviews: good book. I found it to be a more practical consumable version of "Thinking Fast and Slow" which I also loved. Not a practical book I bought the book after listening the interview with the author. Unfortunately the book did not give me practical recommendations nor in investment nor in life behavior. Language of the book is unnecessarily "scientific". While the experience and PhD degree of the author are not questioned, this book gives little to no practical advise nor in investment nor in life... Would not Recommend It was a struggle to finish because there are too many common ideas. For the price paid, it doesn't have enough original information. ok book I had to read this book for school. it's a good book about how to make good decisions. it's nothing ground breaking but it makes you realize most people that are very smart make really bad decisions also. interesting make you realise how easy it is to manipulate yourself.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Great Book For me it was worth a second listen! You will enjoy learning from these wise decision makers. These men credit parts of their sucess in part by living within the guidelines, and drawing strength from the LDS faith. A good read for anyone since the studied men were fairly open about their challenges and the process they went through when making difficult decisions. Mormon Business Owner/Manager Must Read Great book filled with inspirational stories of success, challenges, and how to do business the right way! Great Understanding Very interesting listen and understanding of these mens lives. Interesting how men at such lofty corporate positions can still be grounded by their faith. An excellent bit of insight into the lives of some very extraordinary men. Though about a decade old, this book still provided some great insight into some interesting and successful Mormons. The book doesn't shy away from there and perfection but also highlights the ways that they are able to utilize the teachings of their church to excel both as a family man and as high-level executives. It is a quick read/listen and it was definitely motivating for me. Good inspiration. Lots of gold nuggets. How to balance your life and live by principles. want to replay it to better remember how to apply principles in real life senarios. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Executive-Coaching-with-Backbone-and-Heart-Audiobook/B008UDJO0Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Just be warned - There are a fair number of diagrams as she explains systems however and it's more effective to look at these on a page that it is listen to someone describe them. One should listen for a bit to the narrators voice before purchasing. It is very distinct (deep/gravelly) and not for everyone; if this bothers you, you may be better off purchasing and reading the book. I couldnt get past the voice I have no idea about the content. I couldnt listen to the narrator. It sounded like a computer- or-g an-is-a-tion -read by an automated text to speech. I will look at the reviews about the content and I might buy the book. I wasted my money. Super! Gives you a very complete picture about Executive Coaching from where you can kick off your prep as an EC. Super helpful Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This book was truly valuable. I didn't have the time to sit down and read it, but this audio version kept me engaged while on the go. It's useful for anyway that wants to address important topics with clarity, heart and respect. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Inclusion-Dividend-Audiobook/B00JK0O1YM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Okay introduction, but claims over evidence Any additional comments? The book often felt somewhat superficial and annoyed me with its lack of rigor. I was hoping for a more reliable source on the topic. It often claimed that there would be a lot of evidence for things, but never provided any. Reported numbers like "D&I businesses outperformed others in 3 out of 5 years" mean nothing and could be entirely random without reporting more details (effect size?). Overall, though, a reasonable introduction to the topic with several nice case descriptions. Great perspectives This Thales on tough topics with an approach that includes everyone and doesn't avoid the issues and problems that plague organizations in hoer Diversity and inclusion efforts Excellent listen The book usefully explains about subconscious biases, insider groups, and other useful topics. It provides some good discussion topics at the end of each Chapter. It also provides some useful implementation approaches and supporting techniques. good investment valuable insights, context and clear directional information. best "how to" type resource yet.

Members Reviews: Would not purchase again I was looking forward to listening to this book but by the end of the first hour I couldn't count the number of times that the author used the phrase deep change. It felt like he couldn't articulate what the goal was without using the words deep change and in some ways sounded like he was talking around in circles. The narrator was not engaging and it could almost put me to sleep. I would not recommend this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/CustomerCentric-Selling-Audiobook/B002V19S1I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Long on what not to do, short on what to do. Very boring narrator as well. Great, Relevant Content I've been a believer in customer centric selling for some time but had never read the book. It reinforced my beliefs and gives and excellent context for successful selling. I highly recommend. My only quibble is with the reader/narrator. He's a little to old time radio announcer for my taste and it gets a little irritating. Also the book could use a little updating, although it is not a fatal flaw by any means. Good baseline What did you love best about CustomerCentric Selling? It's a really good book to review when starting a new job. The techniques can be applied to most enterprise sales situations. What other book might you compare CustomerCentric Selling to and why? New Solution Selling Let's get real or not play Have you listened to any of Chris Ryans other performances before? How does this one compare? No Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No Great job This book is excellent for any sales manager looking for greater control over his team pipeline and sales process. The book teaches a pragmatic organization of the sales process and provides great insights to the buyer purchasing process. My adivece: listen and use it! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Humble-Consulting-How-to-Provide-Real-Help-Faster-Audiobook/B01C9B1U56 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Humble Consulting: How to Provide Real Help Faster Author: Edgar H. Schein Narrator: Joe Bronzi Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-29-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book reveals what it takes for consultants of all types, as well as organizational leaders, to be really helpful in dealing with the complex, systemic, constantly changing organizational problems of today. They need to rapidly create a relationship of trust and openness that enables clients, subordinates, and team members to reveal what is really on their minds and to jointly develop a sense of what is the problem and what kind of adaptive response could best deal with it. Schein first introduced some of these concepts in his foundational 1969 book Process Consultation, which is still in use today. But now clients don't have the time or patience for the endless questioning that characterized much of process consultation. And clients still expect consultants to hand them answers. But Schein has come to realize that answers from outsiders are useless, because they're often working the wrong problem, don't understand the client organization's culture, or ignore the fact that constant change makes today's solutions obsolete tomorrow. To achieve a joint sense of what to do requires consultants and other helpers to develop a different kind of relationship with clients - a set of attitudes and behaviors that Schein calls humble consulting. Schein shows how helpers can display from the moment of first contact a level of caring and curiosity to move from relationships of professional distance to relationships of personalized trust and openness. And he gives many examples of the profound changes in mindset, behavior, and daily actions that flow from this new helpful consulting model. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar H.

It's 2005, and Brandon Black has just been promoted to CEO of Encore Capital, a company struggling to navigate an increasingly difficult business environment. Faced with a rapidly declining stock price and low workplace morale, Brandon knows he needs change - and fast. Following his CFO's advice, he and his executive team start working with Learning as Leadership (LaL) and its president, Shayne Hughes. Through their partnership, Encore's executive team learns to root out the unproductive ego habits that undermine collaboration and performance. As they instill these more effective behaviors throughout the organization, Encore begins to solve problems collectively, prioritize resources without infighting, and focus on the initiatives with the greatest strategic value. When the financial crisis of 2008-09 forces 90 percent of its competitors out of business, Encore thrives, with its profits increasing by 300 percent and its stock price by 1,200 percent. Told from two lively first-person perspectives, Ego Free Leadership brings listeners along for Encore's incredible success story. They'll see a CEO overcome his unconscious resistance to modeling the change he wants in his team and discover a time-tested road map for eliminating the destructive effects of the ego in teams and organizations. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shayne Hughes) Tue, 19 Sep 2017 06:42:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Ego-Free-Leadership-Audiobook/B075NPD9RB thebookvoice.com 07:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Service Startup Subtitle: Design Thinking Gets Lean Author: Tenny Pinheiro Narrator: James Fouhey Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-17 Publisher: tenny.co Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book is a practical guide that explores how startup entrepreneurs and business leaders, who hold no design degrees, can integrate service design into their development cycles to create sustainable, desirable, and profitable new services. In the first part, Tenny explores the reasons why startups need to move away from the make and sell, industrial logic we've been exploiting over the last century. To take its place, he proposes a new service-oriented mindset that carries the idea of learn, use, and remember users' journeys. He also discusses the challenges our industrial society is facing and how the combination of design with a service-oriented mentality can be key to help new and existent businesses make this shift. In the second part, he will take you on a journey through the MVS - Minimum Valuable Service - model. This model can seamlessly integrate service design into the Lean startup or any Agile development cycle. It adds the human values needed to foster service innovations within the Lean's scientific approach. In this part of the book, you will learn tools, methods, and practices that will help you get your hands dirty with design.

Members Reviews: Go beyond Lean Startup thinking This guy is smart enough to realize that Design Thinking didn't really start a few years ago, and goes back a long way. He details the history of design, and how it got relegated to aesthetics. He acknowledges the value of Lean Startup, but takes us many steps beyond that; into a set of empathic processes that help us develop things in a much more collaborative way. From his viewpoint, the Lean Startup MVP is much too late in the game to start building prototypes! Life is about services, not products. Even products are really services! I found this book clear, actionable, and applicable as a brilliant addition to Lean Startup/Design Thinking type methods, and also stands on its own. This book should give you some real insights towards a deeper wisdom of how to design products and services that are truly useful, efficiently and wisely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Analysis-Review-of-The-Arbinger-Institutes-Leadership-and-Self-Deception-Audiobook/B01M4NKLBS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary, Analysis & Review of The Arbinger Institute's Leadership and Self-Deception Author: Instaread Narrator: Tamara Ryan Format: Unabridged Length: 26 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-16 Publisher: Instaread Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Leadership and Self-Deception by the Arbinger Institute is a business fable that illustrates the ways that self-deception can undermine interpersonal relationships and productivity. It begins with a new product-line lead employee, Tom Callum, at the fictional Zagrum Company. He's meeting with the company's executive vice president, Bud Jefferson. Bud says that Tom has a problem with self-deception, as they all do, and begins a long meeting to mentor Tom on how to avoid self-deception. Kate Stenarude, president of Zagrum Company, joins Bud and Tom for the meeting and contributes her experiences. Self-deception occurs when people look at another person as an objectified problem or threat rather than as a human being. The deception begins when they feel the urge to help another person, but betray that sense and instead justify the decision not to help by amplifying both their own virtues and the other person's perceived faults.

Members Reviews: BUSINESS ANALYSIS THROUGH INNUENDO AND IMPLICATION This is an overview of the actual book âLeadership and Self-Deception.â Kind of like an abbreviated âCliff's Notesâ for the FULL book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding the originalâs content to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire printed or E-version. This is an excellent example of how and why âInstareadâ provides such a useful and valuable service. First, as you will learn from Instaread's overview, this book is FICTION !! It uses a fictional account of an employee doing his job and how he relates to other employees and circumctances in fictional situations to make several "implied" points and suggestions by the authors. Fortunately for the reader, YOU now receive enough knowledge from this brief overview to make an informed ... buy/no-buy decision. We're all lying to ourselves... "Leadership and Self-Deception" by the Arbringer Institute is a business fable that illustrates the ways that self-deception can undermine interpersonal relationships and productivity.

Bud says that Tom has a problem with self-deception, as they all do, and begins a long meeting to mentor Tom on how to avoid self-deception. This Instaread summary saved me from reading a boring book. I heard good things about the Arbringer Institute's book on leadership, but after reading this summary I feel like I would have never finished it because I'm not a fan of business metaphors. This summary takes the 10 most important points about leadership and self-deception and cuts out the fluff. That was helpful for me, a to the point list of things I can improve on and why they matter. I highly recommend! How to focus on solutions not blame This book blurs the lines between fiction and non-fiction. It presents its concepts against the backdrop of characters discussing them. An interesting literary choice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Leadership-Audiobook/B002V1BPFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Awakening Compassion at Work answers the call, showing us new ways to enliven the humanity of work and in so doing address the suffering of the world and create an innovative, optimistic, and engaged workforce. Scholars and consultants Monica Worline and Jane Dutton approach compassion in organizations through the lens of new research that helps us see what compassion is, how we can create it in our everyday work, and the benefits it offers to both individuals and organizations. They reveal why compassion is integral to recruiting and retaining talented people, essential to delivering high quality service and rapid innovation, and inextricably linked to engagement, collaboration, and adaptability. They even include a tool for assessing your organization's "compassion potential." This book gives us the tools to build skill in creating compassion and invigorating the humanity of our basic institutions. Members Reviews: Beautiful, Intelligent, Unique This is a beautifully composed work that illustrates an alternative possibility for how we can (should!) engage one another in the workplace. For those who see âcompassionate workplaceâ as an oxymoron, this book will open your eyes to recognizing ways that each one of us can contribute to and help grow a more humane organization. The real-world examples of companies that have already embedded a culture of compassion into their daily lives are inspirational and heartwarming, but they also provide a road map for how others can aspire to and achieve similar results. Articulate, intelligent, and clearly a labor of love by two experts in the field of compassion at work - authors Monica Worline and Jane Dutton - this is a work that should be read thoroughly, carefully, and shared with many. You won't be the same person after reading this book! Reading this book not only makes me aspire to be a more compassionate person but also shows me how to do it! Worline and Dutton do an amazing job of providing a science-based trove on how to become a more passionate person, leader, and organization. They unpack years of research (both their own as well as other scholars in many fields) to help readers understand what compassion is and why it is so critical in a work context. There is always suffering in the workplace, whether generated in the doing of the work (such as a downsizing or an incivility) or outside of work (such as a personal or family illness or traumatic life event). I have certainly been the beneficiary of many compassionate responses in my own life from work colleagues - so I know they make a world of difference. I find the four stage model of compassionate responding to be very intuitive and useful. Compassion indeed is the culmination of noticing, interpreting, feeling, and acting. For me, I realize that too often I want to move straight to action, but without the earlier steps my response is likely to be incomplete or even harmful. The stories the authors weave into the narrative are brilliant and inspiring -- they really unpack the complexities of compassion at work. It is so much more than being nice to others! The second part of the book is focused on what it takes to build compassionate organizations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lead-with-Luv-Audiobook/B004HCDZTA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Summary of Lean Concepts Any additional comments? This is an excellent summary of the Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) concepts. For those who are new to these ideas, it should give you a basic idea of the methodology involved. It will not give you the knowledge to go out and immediately implement the LSS ideas. I don't know if any book would do that. But it will at least better familiarize you with what sort of things are focused on, as well as the terminology and framework behind LSS. There is some repetition of key-points. Some people might not like that. But, if you're driving in your car and can't give the audio-book your full attention, it's nice, particularly when you think to yourself, "What did the author just say?" (and prepare to rewind). Or maybe that just happens to me? Also, I think that by repeating some key information, it helps with the memorization of these concepts. In any case, you won't be a LSS Blackbelt when you're done listening to this audio-book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Make-Your-Mark-Audiobook/B00OU1H5V2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Robert Kramer, Director, Executive Education Programs, American University) Members Reviews: Less than impressive I had very high expectations from this book. I had hoped to learn some useful techniques in improving my technique of posing questions. I was disappointed to find out that 90% of book only talks about the importance of asking questions. It would not be an overstatement that this 6 hour book can be summarized in less than 20 minutes. A rough read First, I'll say that I think the content of this book is important, and that although it was painful, I learned something and it had made me think about my interactions with my co-workers. That being said: 1) The book could have been a lot shorter. It was very repetitive, and many sections were just lists, which don't read well. Was this a 1 hour PowerPoint that got expanded into a 7 hour book? 2) I expected this to be narrated well, since it was read by the author. However, his reading was so slow and halting that it was hard to believe that he had written the words given his apparent unfamiliarity with them. I have to believe that he was the victim of a bad coach who insisted that he slow down, unfortunately to the point of going below the tempo of natural speech. Great Book, maybe a better read though A very interesting take from a different perspective. I never really thought about learning and essentially leading from asking questions but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Overall, I found the writing and material to be outstanding and I definitely learned a great deal but with that said, I definitely struggled listening to the narrators voice. Also, the part on the Boston Red Sox racism during the 1950s was very intriguing. Terrible Read The narration on this is horrible. Content is long and belaboring. I listened to the whole book, but gave up interest after the first 2 hours. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Terrible narrator I understand the narrator is the author, however they should have hired a professional for this. I found the impact of the content hard to follow as the narrator was frustrating to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Four-Virtues-of-a-Leader-Audiobook/B01LZ4K3Q7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent description of Toyota's training method Liker and Meier did it again and wrote again an excellent book. This time it's the first in a new series about Toyota. I cannot wait for the next ones to be released. Toyota Talent's main content is the training methods used by Toyota which originates from the Training Within Industry, Job Instruction module. Training within Industry was a US program to help the war effort. After the war, they send the trainers to Japan to help the Japanese industry. The TWI material made it in Toyota and they improved it and started using it. I was aware of the TWI JI module before reading this book. I always found it interesting, however, my main job has always been in product development. So, before reading this book, I was quite biased that "it will not work for product development". Liker and Meier gradually tackled my bias. In chapter 5 they introduce the excellent task variety table. This makes a distinction between the different type of tasks, from routine to nonroutine. Then they continue describing that every job consists of all the different types of tasks. More mechanical jobs contain more routine tasks, more engineering will contain more craft tasks. I slowly move over my prejudice and start to see that even my own job has a whole bunch of routine tasks. Doing this in the beginning of the book made me more open towards reading the rest. After this Meier and Liker go into very much detail on how to standardize work, break it down and how to train it to other people. The descriptions are incredibly detailed, concrete and clear. In the end, it shortly talks about the talent development approach to nonroutine work, but unfortunately this was only 3 or 4 pages. The books could have included more on that subject also still. Anyways, I learned a lot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Changing-on-the-Job-Audiobook/B00DNB8ZWI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Changing on the Job Subtitle: Developing Leaders for a Complex World Author: Jennifer Garvey Berger Narrator: Julie Eickhoff Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Listen to people in every field and you'll hear a call for more sophisticated leadership - for leaders who can solve more complex problems than the human race has ever faced. But these leaders won't simply come to the fore; we have to "develop" them, and we must cultivate them as quickly as is humanly possible. Changing on the Job is a means to this end. As opposed to showing readers how to play the role of a leader in a "paint by numbers" fashion, Changing on the Job builds on theories of adult growth and development to help readers become more thoughtful individuals, capable of leading in any scenario. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, and employing real-world examples, author Jennifer Garvey Berger offers a set of building blocks to help cultivate an agile workforce while improving performance. Coaches, HR professionals, thoughtful leaders, and anyone who wants to flourish on the job will find this book a vital resource for developing their own capacities and those of the talent that they support. The book is published by Stanford University Press. Critic Reviews: "A significant contribution towards re-imagining how we go about developing leaders. Jennifer invites leaders and those of us engaged in developing leaders to be more precise in our support and to think anew about the role that organizational context plays. This book calls on us to become more capable, agile, and better aligned with the increasing complexity of a global economy, while showing us how to stitch together an approach to our work that is fit for this task." (Sally DeWitt Miller, Director, Leadership Development Group, Microsoft Corporation) "People have been asking for years, 'Where can I go for a rich, practical, and incisive guide to the relationship between adult-developmental theory and coaching?' Now there is an answer. You are holding it, and when you start reading it, it will hold you."

A must read for Enneagram enthusiasts. Excellent book for all leaders to raise their consciousness and ... Excellent book for all leaders to raise their consciousness and emotional intelligence. It will be most helpful for people who already know their type, or have a strong idea of what their type is. It will help you recognize your strengths, habits and motives and have a better understanding of the same for people around you. I love that it makes the point that we all have unique gifts and there isn't one "best" approach. I highly recommend if you have interest in the Enneagram, or use it in coaching / consulting. Great Guide for People Productivity I bought this book and "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Knowledge" because I happened to overhear the author talking about her books in a San Francisco cafe. She was gracious, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work, which convinced me to check out her writing. I found in "The Complete Enneagram" an accurate and helpful psychological tool. I strongly recommend "The 9 Types of Leadership" as a companion and a kind of executive summary of "The Complete Enneagram." What I absolutely love about this book is that it quickly and simply maps out all the personality types encountered in work situations. Chestnut then provides clear, practical suggestions on how to get to the "high side" of project completion, workplace harmony, and contented leaders and employees, and how to avoid the "low side" of stress and less-than-desirable results. I found the lists of example behaviors for each personality type to be particularly helpful, and once again I was impressed by the thorough coverage of the subject. This book is not just about how to deal with subordinates or a boss, but it's also about how to manage oneself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-21-Most-Powerful-Minutes-in-a-Leaders-Day-Audiobook/B002UZMONO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It summaries around 20 management and leadership books and is a great overview or refresher on the subject. Would recommend. An asset to your leadership collection! If you could sum up Management and Leadership in three words, what would they be? Useful, dense, broad Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, I listened to it mostly in the car. Any additional comments? I was curious to try this program as it's structure sounded interesting. I was glad I did. Sometimes I wish the author would go deeper on certain points, but obviously this program is intended to cover a vast amount of material, as opposed to a very small amount of material but more in depth. Overall I think it is a useful asset to your leadership collection. It is also much easier to compare and contrast styles when you here them back to back. Insightful Any additional comments? I enjoyed this book quite a bit, especially the format. I found it easy to listen to, insightful, and helpful. I will use the concepts I learned at work. Loved this book Any additional comments? Management and Leadership covered a lot of ground. It talked about the different strategies touted by various "experts" in the field. A foundational book for those who manage others. Great for coaches Any additional comments? This is an easy listen with great content. I have started adopting some of the strategies into my coaching practice.

Members Reviews: Double dose! I had to read and listen to retain because the story lacked a plot and just described situations. But lots of great information and advise for present and future leaders. Great book! Leadership in the new era is old news, repackaged Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Reviewing current information on leadership is always useful. I expected more from this treatise, however. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-New-Leaders-100-Day-Action-Plan-How-to-Take-Charge-Build-Your-Team-and-Get-Immediate-Results-Audiobook/B008SCM3KC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's mostly about their Growth Hacking Framework that is basically what to do with your website or how to allocate more resources to marketing or sales. It has inspired me to write a book this weekend Well, that was short and general. More of an article than a book. Don't recommend. Read some blogs. Information is accurate but not deep. felt like a blog post the book felt like a blog post with a lot of case studies that were more like ads for the authors company. Lots of knowledge here! Great audiobook. I felt as if I was having a business consultation with a personal motivational coach. I have a marketing background so some tactics I already knew, but I still found tremendous value in the psychological approaches to growth-hacking and entrepreneurship. Plenty of gems to go around with this book. I took so many notes. Highly recommend! Absolutely the BEST MARKETING BOOK EVER! The marketing ideas I got from this book have absolutely helped me take my SaaS business to the next level!

Title: Working with Emotional Intelligence Author: Daniel Goleman Narrator: Daniel Goleman Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-01 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 63 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Do you work for an emotionally intelligent organization? In his phenomenal best seller Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. mapped the territory where emotional intelligence meets I.Q. - where we apply what we know to how we live. His benchmark work validated what many successful people already knew: Being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you. Now, in Working with Emotional Intelligence, Dr. Goleman shows why emotional intelligence has become the new yardstick of success for CEOs and junior hires alike. Drawing on both unparalleled access to business leaders and cutting-edge research, he shows that star performance in every field depends more on emotional intelligence than on I.Q. or technical skills. You'll be surprised to learn how the impact of emotional intelligence is even greater at the top of the leadership pyramid and will benefit from the real-life examples from the business world that Goleman uses to illustrate his theory. ©1998 by Daniel Goleman; (P)1998 by Audio Renaissance, an Imprint of Renaissance Media, Inc. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Daniel Goleman) Thu, 24 May 2001 17:30:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Working-with-Emotional-Intelligence-Audiobook/B002V1PNIU thebookvoice.com 03:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jeff has a clear writing style that's easy to understand and his information is gold. He has obviously researched his subject for years and crafted his book carefully. He gives you a practical guide with actionable steps on how to lead a company without burning yourself out. I particularly liked how he broke the information down to where people who are not already business leaders can understand it. There aren't any trendy corporate buzz phrases that don't mean anything. It's all down-to-earth, practical information, delivered in a friendly style. I read a lot of self-published books and I was blown away by both the amazing content and professionalism of this one. The formatting is excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to become a leader or be a better one. Excellent Book for Entrepreneurs! I just Started reading this and I can't stop! Jeff breaks it down in a personal and relatable way.... I think how he thinks and I kept thinking "YES- spot on" - at many points while reading! This book has excellent advice and simple steps to get to the next level without killing yourself or burning out. I agree with Jeff, We all want time freedom and financial freedom, but sometimes we make it harder to get from point A to point B.... Jeff shares his experience and knowledge and teachable outline. I am a entrepreneur and this book came at the right time! This book will bring value to you if you are a business owner or entrepreneur, or looking for a way to become the BEST Leader possible! A helpful book for entrepreneurs stuck doing everything!! I wish I'd had this book a few years ago! Jeff's advice for getting away from working in your business so you can work on it and enjoy more of what you love is spot on. I found the job description section especially helpful with useful tips for coming up with accurate job descriptions to benefit both the employer and the employee. This is a helpful step-by-step guide for setting goals for your business and then using them to create your perfect team! I needed this! As an entrepreneur, one reaches a point when one is spending 80% of one's time stuck with necessary, routine work that was not one's original strength and reason to start one's venture in the first place. Clone yourself is the perfect book that teaches you to clear your time, learn to rearrange without compromising on quality. I needed to know how to free myself to do what I do best - be the thinker, planner, visionary entrepreneur that Istarted out as before Ione my way. A useful book that helps you rethink, reorganise and refresh. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Commanding-Excellence-Audiobook/B0765C2C7P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

West Point distinguished graduate Gary Morton knows how to deliver exceptional results while doing just that. As a platoon leader and tank commander in Army Task Force 4-68 and later as a young vice president at medical device manufacturer Stryker, Morton learned under two legendary leaders who, despite different styles, followed nearly the same steps to achieve results most considered unattainable. In only a year, Task Force 4-68's commander, Lt. Colonel Alfred L. Dibella, turned one of the army's poorest performing units into the most lethal, combat-ready task force in the US Army. In simulated-combat missions at the grueling National Training Center, Dibella's task force defeated the constantly triumphant OPFOR in every battle. This feat has never been repeated. Generals and commanders at every level sought to understand how this unit did the impossible. When John W. Brown became CEO of Stryker, it was a boutique medical device firm with a few innovative products and $17 million in sales. Under Brown's extraordinary leadership it evolved into a $4 billion market leader feared by competitors and highly regarded by health care professionals. Stryker accomplished this remarkable run by securing 20 percent earnings growth every quarter, every year - for 28 years. Again, this is a feat experts believed unachievable. By explaining the ingredients of these two leaders' secret sauce, Morton lays the foundation for current and future leaders to ensure their own teams' excellence. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Gary Morton) Thu, 12 Oct 2017 00:19:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Commanding-Excellence-Audiobook/B0765C2C7P thebookvoice.com 07:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Having worked at Stryker during the tail-end of John Brown's historic 29 years of 20% Earnings Growth in Stryker EMS, I can say that Gary accurately captures the environment of the John Brown Era Stryker in a 20% Earnings Growth (for 29 years). He also boils the driving forces behind the historic performance to three meta-themes, or principles. Gary's comparison to his Army Task-Force 4-68, the application of the three themes, and the resounding success of the task force at the NTC against the OPFOR creates an engaging, lesson-filled leadership manual settling on 3 uncommon, key elements to drive sustainable success in business, or in the battlefield. This book instantly made my top-10 reading list for leadership development because of the simplicity of concept and the practicality of the analysis. As accurately as the book describes the success at Stryker, it equally describes the challenges large companies can face in sustaining success when a key theme is not executed, or executed appropriately. I highly recommend this book. The power of focus Focus an organization on a simple goal. (Not to be confused with an easy goal.) 9-0 or 20%. Plan and provide resources. Hire the right people - and value them. Mix these ingredients and magic happens. This book provides inspiration to make this happen in any organization, regardless of type. I was fascinated by the parallels between Army Task Force 4-68, led by Fred Dibella and Stryker, led by John Brown. As part of Garyâs EMS team at Stryker, I now understand more about the magic I felt as part of this group of people. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/No-Drama-Leadership-Audiobook/B00WGUAYOY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: No-Drama Leadership Subtitle: How Enlightened Leaders Transform Culture in the Workplace Author: Marlene Chism Narrator: Tavia Gilbert Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Choice. Power. Speed. Today's leaders continually face these forces. But with too many choices, too much power, and too much speed, leaders often make decisions in a heightened state of emotion (and drama). Hasty decisions are often poor ones, and in this climate there is no place to hide. Privacy is a thing of the past; the days of covering up or ignoring a problem are over. In today's transparent culture, the decision making of leaders is more vulnerable than ever - and it is more critical than ever to get it right. Marlene Chism's No-Drama Leadership introduces just the model the corporate world needs. Using case studies, checklists, and examples from various levels of hierarchy in leadership and from a variety of industries, Chism introduces the mind-set shifts and practical skills needed to develop enlightened leaders whose decision making flows from a much more grounded and aligned place.

Title: Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal Subtitle: Key Takeaways & Analysis: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World Author: Instaread Narrator: Michael Gilboe Format: Unabridged Length: 30 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-15 Publisher: Instaread Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Preview: Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal is an examination of the process he began of restructuring the Joint Special Operations Command management style, from a rigid command structure to a cooperative team comprised of smaller specialized teams. While fighting Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), General McChrystal noted how the United States and coalition militaries were efficient war-fighting machines, but they were not adaptable or effective against the seemingly disordered AQI. In 2005, after a particularly destructive terrorist attack at the opening of a sewage plant near Baghdad, McChrystal began considering whether the efficient structure was actually hindering the counterinsurgency, preventing them from responding to threats in real time and delaying the capture of AQI leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Modern military management originated at the 1900 World's Fair, when Frederick Winslow Taylor revealed his work in steel production efficiency.

It was not clear that I was not buying the book. Very disappointing. Use for deciding to read the entire book or not Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If you're considering reading "Team of Teams" this summary is worthwhile. If you're looking to gain the same value as reading the whole thing, forget it. I had the chance to hear McChrystal last week and was pleasantly surprised. Instead of hearing a review of his leadership and military experience (interesting but not terribly useful) he gave what I considered valuable insight into some of the changes many organizations (including terrorist and military organizations) are going through. Not worth the time The robotic reading of this summary is mindnumbing, it's like hearing a story read by the maid from the Jetsons. Solid professional read very descriptive and relevant read. Applicable to business, military, and everyday life. highly recommend this book. new leadership effectiveness for business teams I enjoyed this book, it is simple, understandable, and directly applicable as new methods to bring results, build trust, build up leadership equity, and build in agile response to project deliverables. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Small-Unit-Leadership-Audiobook/B0055TJJBW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Terrible narrator I assumed the author narrated this audio book because the performance was so cringeworthy. The content is great, but it was a pain to listen to. Just get a hard copy. A perfect read for the Plt Cmdr and lower leader This book does a great job of establishing the foundation for incoming junior officers and newly promoted NCOs. A great refresher for TBS graduates on a lot of things we forgot we learned A must read for anyone in military leadership. This is require reading for my OCS class. It has a lot of invaluable information on how to lead a small unit effectively.

Would you consider the audio edition of Innovating Lean Six Sigma to be better than the print version? As many of us who follow Lean and Six Sigma know we do so for knowledge. Simply reading a book or attending a class isn't always enough. I've read and listened to this and many other books regarding Lean Six Sigma. Both audio and hard copy together are the way to go. If you have a weak foundation in the principals, or are just starting out this probably isn't for you. There are many details that you probably won't understand. If you are a Black Belt or Master BB this may be for you. That of course depends on how well you understand the concepts. Very high level- mainly success stories of consulting business. Very little detail in the concepts or tools. A lot of references to their consulting practice or success stories. Detailed guidance on tools or case studies that include challenges or lessons learned from failures would have been helpful as well. After finishing the audiobook I feel like I listened to a collect of blog posts or articles that are intended to drive engagement of their consulting business. not impressed summed up: team work, nothing really special. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Good-People-Audiobook/B06ZXX9MYP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Good People Subtitle: The Only Leadership Decision That Really Matters Author: Anthony Tjan Narrator: Sean Runnette, Anthony Tjan Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Good people are your organization's most critical asset. But what does it really mean to be good? Leaders love to say that any company is only as good as its people but tend to evaluate candidates and employees more by their measurable accomplishments than by their "softer" qualities, like integrity, compassion, and other values. Best-selling author Anthony Tjan is leading a movement to change the way we think about goodness so that we can become better judges of people and create more goodness in ourselves, in others, and in our organizations. Tjan argues that while competence is necessary, real goodness must also encompass values; a fantastic résumé can never compensate for mediocre character. In Good People, he provides a clear language to discuss goodness, redefining it as a lifelong, proactive commitment that, like any skill, can be exercised, honed, and taught. When leaders prioritize goodness in themselves and in others, they can create lasting cultures and tremendous value. Drawing from his own experiences as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Tjan also taps in to the wisdom of his relationships and interviews with extraordinary innovators, executives, artists, academics, teachers, and role models from all disciplines and walks of life. The cases and profiles shared include: Harvard Business School dean Nitin Nohria, who has called for balancing leadership of competency with leadership of character; Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has never forgotten her roots and shows profound kindness to her staff and clerks; Hollywood talent manager Shep Gordon, who has counseled his clients on the importance of generosity and gratitude; legendary venture capitalist Henry McCance, whose success proves that humbly ceding the spotlight to others makes room for their greatness; and master jazz musician Clark Terry, who devotedly mentored the young, blind pianist Justin Kauflin. Packed with practical yet often surprising advice, Good People establishes a new language and framework you can use to evaluate, develop, and lead with goodness. Tjan will convince you that there is a hard truth in the "soft stuff" of business and that choosing and working well with good people is truly the only leadership decision that really matters.

Members Reviews: Good People Better Than Good Good People seems like a simple enough proposition. No leader deliberately picks mugs. Anthony Tjan takes it a fair bit deeper, defining "goods" in a holistic manner in which the term embraces people, purpose and process in business. Tjan dissects each aspect (like a good McKinsey alumni) and while this can sometimes make the book a bit laboured it does reflect intense reflection, research and interview. The author has credibility as an entrepreneur as well as an analyst and anyone looking for confirmation that business can succeed as a social as well as a profit making process without contradiction will find support here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Agile-Mind-Set-Audiobook/B01N6YBLMH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Recent books on âAgileâ are often cookbooks, describing sequential steps for implementing some âAgile recipeâ. Gil says âWhile there is no single recipe for Agile to succeed, this book will show you what ingredients you, as and Agile chef would need for your recipeââ So, just as yeast is needed for bread to rise, an Agile mind-set is the essential ingredient for Agile to âriseâ. Some other books on Agile gloss over the need for an Agile mind-set, in effect ignoring the need for yeast to bake bread properly. Other sources presuppose that an Agile mind-set (the yeast) is already in-place. This is a colossal assumption thatâs incorrect more times than not. Compared with other Agile âhow toâ guides, Gilâs book instead reveals the raison d'tre behind Agile. Gil dives deeply into Agileâs complex underpinnings and misunderstood nuances, reaffirming Agileâs powerful potential when properly understood, embraced and supported across the entire organizational fabric. The Agile Manifesto begins with the statement that âwe have come to value: Individuals and interactions over process and toolsâ. This crucial Agile pillar is missed by many organizations. Gilâs section titled âPeople Are Not Resourcesâ shines a very bright light on this fundamental concept, helping us to realize that people comprise teams that evolve organically. Gil provides the same insight into the rest the Manifesto as well (because this author really âgets itâ). This is also a Lean book thatâs easy to read, providing much benefit in return for a small effort (and no waste). Gil clearly explains (and convinces us) why any Agile seeds planted wonât germinate until the organizational soil bed is properly amended with the abundant nutrients an Agile mind-set unleashes. Highly recommended. Pursuing agility? Start with this book. You can find a plenitude of books on processes and delivery methodologies that are often associated with Agile. Although this content is valuable, this same content is not enough for those wanting to successfully embrace agility. Understanding the essence of Agile is the one investment teams and firms should make prior to any internal change. In a comprehensive, yet, succinct book, Gil explores the different facets of the agile mentality, all backed by Gil's extensive Agile and technical experience and expertise. In short, you won't find a better book to start your Agile journey. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Strategy-Mindset-Audiobook/B01D5FZH68 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The truth is probably closer to 65 percent art and 35 percent science, but the science of strategy remains critical. While art must be developed from within, science can be taught - and it forms the foundation of any business strategy. In The Strategy Mindset, strategy consultant, author, and internationally renowned speaker, Dr. Chuck Bamford, provides a simple yet practical guide to creating corporate strategy using well researched and battle-tested approaches. This is not a cumbersome textbook filled with academic language. Nor is it a reworking of popular strategy ideas that are useless in practice. Instead, The Strategy Mindset provides actionable applications of strategic thinking tailored to the realities of business. Dr. Bamford has refined this approach to make it a practical and efficient model for the design and implementation of strategy. Although mastery of these approaches takes time, a motivated management team can effectively implement them and see a profound impact on their company.

Disclosure: Dr Bamford was one of my professors at TCU in my MBA program. BUT, I did buy this book on my own as I was interested in giving it a read. While I am not in a position to set strategy in my current company, I still found the book well worth reading to gain a better understanding of the design and implementation of strategy in today's environment. Dr. Bamford makes a strong case for the need for a well-thought out AND well-implemented strategy. One which begins by examining what their CUSTOMERS (particularly what he identifies as their "perfect customers") want and value, and then describes how their company can compete against the competition in ways that make sense. At around 115 pages, this is not an academic text, and that was intentional so as to not bog the reader down with complex jargon and formulas. At best, this could be the book that opens your eyes to developing a winning corporate strategy. At the very least, it will give you insights into developing such a strategy and ensure you hire the right consultants to guide you through the process. had a great impact on me and put a new perspective on ... What a relief to read something that is not the same book with a different cover. Right out of the gate Dr. Bamford provokes thought while challenging traditional beliefs and systems that have been put into place many years ago and really have no bearing on evaluating a business. Chapter 4, although relatively short, had a great impact on me and put a new perspective on my business. He has created an understanding of standard items vs. exceptional items in your business and where and when to apply them. This a great book and I highly recommend anyone to read it, even if you do not own a business. Great Strategy Book Probably the most succinct playbook I've read on building and executing strategy. It cuts through all the crap and myths about business strategy and crystallizes it down some absolute truths. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Conflict-Without-Casualties-Audiobook/B06XKCPYN3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Conflict Without Casualties Subtitle: A Field Guide for Leading with Compassionate Accountability Author: Nate Regier Narrator: Jeff Hoyt Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Most organizations are terrified of conflict, seeing it as a sign of trouble. But clinical psychologist and transformative communication expert Dr. Nate Regier says conflict is really just a kind of energy that can be used for good or ill. With the concepts and tools he shares in this book, you can turn conflict into a partner for positive change. Handled incorrectly, conflict becomes drama - people struggle against themselves or each other to feel justified about their negative behavior. It's immensely costly to companies, teams, and relationships at all levels. Regier illustrates the interpersonal dynamics that perpetuate drama through a concept called the Drama Triangle and offers an alternative: compassionate accountability. Compassionate accountability is the engine that turns conflict into a creative force. It's a process of holding people accountable while preserving their dignity. It balances caring, concern, empathy, and transparency with boundaries, goals, aspirations, and standards. Regier shows how the destructive dynamics of the Drama Triangle can be transformed using its constructive counterpart: the Compassion Cycle. Provocative and illuminating, this book helps us replace the unrealistic, sometimes punishing, even crushing demands we exact on both our colleagues and our loved ones with openness, resourcefulness, and persistence. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Nate Regier) Wed, 15 Mar 2017 13:23:22 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Conflict-Without-Casualties-Audiobook/B06XKCPYN3 thebookvoice.com 06:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Scared of conflict? It can be handled with compassion and leave a positive mark! âNegative conflict, manifested as workplace drama, costs the US economy more than $350 billion per year in the currency of broken relationships, dysfunctional teams, morale and engagement problems, and failure to thriveâ Not many people truly enjoy conflict. Conflict seems to bring out the worst in people and so many of us donât know how to react to it or realize that it can be used as a catalyst for change. Growing up, I never liked conflict and tended to morph into the background whenever it reared its ugly head. As I jumped into the real world I ran smack into conflict coming at me from many directions. It was a changing life lesson and I had no choice but to swim with the sharks. Ultimately, I grew to embrace conflict to as a means to unite people and work on problems. Surprisingly, this little conflict avoidance girl was a dynamo at actually stepping in to resolve conflict with a clear head and open heart. When I had a chance to read the new book coming out soon Conflict without Casualties A Field Guide for Leadership with Compassionate Accountability by Nate Regier Ph.D. I rejoiced. Conflict doesnât need to be a dirty word and we should snap to attention when it rears up because it means that people may be passionate about something and willing to stand up for what they believe. Nate shows us how conflict should be viewed as a creative force because there is often so much energy behind it. Nate asserts how conflict can be turned around and utilized to grow innovation, build trust, and further engage people. His views will help you change your perspective on conflict, people, and how it can be used to make us more accountable. Conflict without Casualties is an effective tool kit for managing conflict. Nate introduces us to the nuances of drama through the âdrama triangleâ resulting from conflict and the roles people take on in the process. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Boss-Life-Audiobook/B012I7YXNW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Boss Life Subtitle: Surviving My Own Small Business Author: Paul Downs Narrator: Jonathan Hogan Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 157 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: When columnist Paul Downs was approached by the New York Times to write for their You're the Boss blog, he had been running his custom furniture business for 24 years strong - or mostly strong. Now he embarks on a book-length essay that intends to show a portrait of a real business, with a real boss, a real set of employees, and the real challenges they face, in hopes of promoting a better understanding of the behaviors of small-business owners. In 1986, fresh out of college, Paul Downs opened his first and last business: a small company that built custom furniture. With no idea how to run a business or how to build custom furniture, Downs spent a year teaching himself the business, and in 1987 he hired his first employee. That was when things got complicated. As his business began to grow, he had to learn about management, cash flow, taxes, and so much more. Furthermore, globalization and the arrival of the Internet made a big impact on the economy, causing him to have to reevaluate, restructure, and reinvent. Most important, Downs is keenly aware that every small business, no matter the product it makes or the service it provides, starts with people. He writes with tremendous insight about hiring employees, providing motivation to get the best jobs out of them and incentive to maintain their loyalty and respect, and the difficult decisions he's made to let some of them go. With honesty and conviction, Downs tells the true story behind building and sustaining a successful company in an ever-evolving economy, often airing his own failures and shortcomings to unveil the difficulties that arise from being a boss and a businessperson. We've heard countless stories from employees about their managers; Boss Life seeks to tell the other side of that story. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Paul Downs) Tue, 04 Aug 2015 20:31:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Boss-Life-Audiobook/B012I7YXNW thebookvoice.com 12:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Close to home I heard Paul Downs on WNYC Brian Lehrer this week and knew that I needed to read or listen to this book. As a small business owner in the trades, I feel profoundly related to his account of a year in the life of a boss. And feel understood. Particularly resonant are his explanations of the complexities of the cash flow cycle, and the difficulty in finding craftsmen who are both good workers and good communicators. I plan to recommend this book to peers and employees. And may even convene a book club to discuss how we can incorporate some of insights into the business. Paul, thanks for writing this! Disappointed Not much to take from this book, unless you own a custom furniture business. Stopped listening half way through. VERY INSIGHTFUL- I am the boss of a small woodworking company. I found this book extremely insightful in terms of what the day-to-day operations of a large scale furniture manufacturing company is like in United States these days. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Up-Your-Business-Audiobook/B003PM2P4E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(James Strock, author of Theodore Roosevelt on Leadership) Members Reviews: Hard-hitting, Practical and Pithy Wisdom I [usually] like it when authors read their own material because their passion for the story/topic typically comes through more clearly. Anderson's hard-hitting, practical advice is even more impacting because of his narrating. Most of the sections here are strong, but the material on building a healthy staff is exceptional. As one who's violated many of Dave's common-sense principles, I was grateful for the encouraging "I've-been-there-too" coaching tone. I've got this book on my "Read Yearly" list. Very good book Loved this book will read it again! plain language easy to understand and very helpful for any business owner, manager or even any employee. it's a book everyone should read. No room for Business as Usual Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? great book, overall. I am a franchise developer for a top franchizor and this book have been very helpful in my day to day operation. It can be apply for every day business owner, manager and every organization at all level. Jay What about Dave Andersons performance did you like? cut and dry to the point Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Job Interviews, Accountability, Building leaders, Any additional comments? Hiring leaders, team players, people that want to be with eagles not blend in with the turkeys. How to find talent. Don't ask the same dull interview questions that don't tell you what kind of person your hiring. Tell me what your best features are?, begets a great canned answer. Find people that bring something to the table.

The Weed Out Course for the Subpar Sales Person If you could sum up The Joshua Principle: Leadership Secrets of Selling in three words, what would they be? Educational while inpirational Any additional comments? The Weed Out Course for the Subpar Sales PersonAsk anyone with a professional degree about the "weed out" class in college and youre bound to hear... Med School - Organic Chemistry Engineering - Calculus II or Intro to Mechanical Engineering Law School - Civil Procedure or ContractsWeed out courses are unofficially designed to be ridiculously difficult and force students to reconsider advancing within a specific degree track. They are a sneak peek of the effort required to receive a degree in a desired field. So whats the weed out course for the subpar sales person? In a profession with misconceived prerequisites of having a good personality or being well spoken, theres nothing designed to help people understand the level of skill and effort that goes into being a true sales professional. Sales doesnt require an advanced degree or a professional certification.Rarely do training programs force candidates through the psychological rigors required to be successful in sales. No college class can prepare you for the day your manager says, I like you, but if you dont hit quota next month- you need to find a different job." Everyone wants to be in sales, until they get slapped with a quota. -Jeff Lovesy Of the 479 accredited business programs in the US only 101 have sales based curriculum. Until universities recognize the need for intensive programs build to find the strongest candidates, The Joshua Principle is the best alternative to a weed out class for the subpar sales person.Author Tony Hughes masterfully weaves a fictional storyline about a struggling rookie salesman and his secret mentor with concepts behind the RSVP SellingTM framework. The barrier to entry for sales jobs is almost nonexistent. Yet the skills, effort and mental fortitude needed to become an elite sales professional is unmatched by any other profession. The storyline of The Joshua Principle holds your undivided attention while articulating the energy required to become a Sales Master. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Million-Dollar-Maverick-Audiobook/B01H0Q2040 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: When it comes to how to succeed as an entrepreneur, we are besotted with advice. According to best-selling author Alan Weiss, success is a combination of opportunism, very disciplined work, luck, timing, and ignoring most advice. In other words, it means striking out on your own original path to success. In Million Dollar Maverick, he explains that entrepreneurs don't take advice; they create value and then monetize it. They do what they love and are great at and find a way to sell it to people. They do not - contrary to conventional wisdom - chase money. They attract money. And, most of all, they think differently, act decisively, and, if talent and timing are with them, succeed quickly. Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a consultant, speaker, and global expert, Weiss shares his story and Million Dollar Tips not found in any of his other books to help entrepreneurs gain influence, build confidence, and develop the critical thinking skills they need to discover the inside track to rapid success.

His raw...hit you in the gut...and give it to you straight delivery is everything I needed. Can't wait to listen to it again. It's like all the things your parents should say or have said but maybe you just hear it differently because it's from Alan. Ha. Thank you Alan. Great story This was a great book on Mr. Weiss. He gives a lot of great perspective and insight. He brags more about himself and his accomplishments than provide a blueprint to help people that aspire to be like him, but I guess you can do that when youre as accomplished as him. Excellent Alan Weiss is one of my favorite contrarian authors. This book does not disappoint! It's filled with great ideas and insight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fast-Track-for-Female-Entrepreneurs-Audiobook/B0786Q49SP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Practical and evidence based leadership Somewhat of an update of his previous book, but a worthy read for any leader in healthcare. I'm executive in a large health system and not a day goes buy where I don't make a reference to some of these principles. Chapter three on presentation of data is required reading for anyone working directly with physicians. I will likely read this book again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-of-Strengths-Based-Leadership-by-Tom-Rath-and-Barry-Conchie-Includes-Analysis-Audiobook/B01M2310EC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/684/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Rise: The Reincarnation of an Entrepreneur Author: Michael Erath Narrator: Joel Richards Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-18 Publisher: Lioncrest Publishing Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: When the housing market crashed in 2009, Michael Erath lost everything. Due to a combination of declining sales, betrayals from key staff, and his own blind spots, Michael went from owning two multimillion dollar businesses to almost destroying his marriage, losing his home and companies, and struggling to make ends meet. But he didn't let failure keep him down. Instead, he learned from his mistakes and rose back to success. Michael's journey inspired him to help others avoid the mistakes he made by teaching them a simple and holistic system to bring clarity, discipline, accountability, and balance into their work and personal lives. In Rise, Michael recounts his remarkable story with brutal honesty and self-reflection. He demonstrates how systemizing a business and building healthy, open, and honest leadership teams can help business leaders free themselves from the control their business has over them and find time to pursue other passions. Part refreshingly honest memoir and part guide for entrepreneurs, Rise will show you how to get out of your own way and live your ideal life. "Michael is one of our best EOS Implementers.

Then they interviewed the leaders, workers, and customers of these quiet superstars to find the secrets of their astoundingly consistent and profitable growth. Jennings discovered that consistent high performance takes more than locker-room speeches to the sales team. What these companies have in common is a culture based on a shockingly simple precept: think big, but act small. It works for retailers like PETCO and Cabela's, manufacturers like Medline Industries, service companies like Sonic Drive-In, private educational companies like Strayer, and industrial giants like Koch Enterprises. In Think Big, Act Small, Jennings reveals the unique power of combining the strengths of a big organization with the hunger of a start-up.

Title: Think Big, Act Small Subtitle: How America's Best Performing Companies Keep the Start-up Spirit Alive Author: Jason Jennings Narrator: Jason Jennings Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-05 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 108 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Jason Jennings and his research team screened more than 100,000 American companies to find nine that rarely end up on magazine covers, yet have increased revenues and profits by 10 percent or more for 10 consecutive years. Then they interviewed the leaders, workers, and customers of these quiet superstars to find the secrets of their astoundingly consistent and profitable growth. Jennings discovered that consistent high performance takes more than locker-room speeches to the sales team. What these companies have in common is a culture based on a shockingly simple precept: think big, but act small. It works for retailers like PETCO and Cabela's, manufacturers like Medline Industries, service companies like Sonic Drive-In, private educational companies like Strayer, and industrial giants like Koch Enterprises. In Think Big, Act Small, Jennings reveals the unique power of combining the strengths of a big organization with the hunger of a start-up. Any company, no matter what its size or industry, can benefit from following these examples. Critic Reviews: "The latest insightful and inspirational title from Jennings again demonstrates potential profitability in contrary concepts." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Cultures Succeed Again and Again I liked how the author built each story as to integrate to what the title states. Fun to listen to as I felt part of the story in my current work. It gave more confidence to what I was doing and what I do in business. A positive outlook from the doom and gloom the media sheds on business today as pontificating oppressors of the human spirit. If you are down on your business or work read this quick book and keep it handy for reference. Mandatory Listening for Business Tells the story of the underlying principles of consistently profitable and successful companies through their stories. One of the few books I would say are mandatory reading for any business manager or leader. Good information This book was interesting to consider while working for a large company going through great growth. The concept of thinking small is novel. Interesting book, good narrator Stories were good. Simple things you can implement in most businesses. A good listen, would recommend. Worthwhile Read What did you love best about Think Big, Act Small? The stories about these small companies and how they managed to have great success despite having times where they were on the brink of collapse. Have you listened to any of Jason Jenningss other performances before? How does this one compare? N/A Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened to it in pieces during various commutes. I think I enjoyed breaking it into parts so I could think about the lessons learned and really try to absorb more of the critical advice.
