But how do you manage outrageous talent? What do you do to inspire loyalty from your players? How do you turn around a team in crisis? Whats the best way to build long-term success? How can you lead calmly under pressure? The issues are the same whether youre managing a Premier League soccer team or an FTSE 100 company. Here, for the first time, some 30 of the biggest names in soccer management reveal just what it takes. With their every decision, remark, skill, and success or failure under constant scrutiny from the media and the fans, these managers need to be the most adroit of leaders. In The Manager they explain their methods, give examples of lessons theyve learned along the way, and describe the decisions they make and the leadership they provide. Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue for managers in any walk of life and, in their own words, shows how the experts deal with the challenges they face in an abnormally high-pressure environment. Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for soccer fans, The Manager is an honest, accessible and unprecedented look at the day-to-day work of these high-profile characters and the world of top-level soccer management. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mike Carson) Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:18:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Manager-Audiobook/B00EJRXD0E thebookvoice.com 10:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worst book ever What would have made The Manager better? Better narrator Has The Manager turned you off from other books in this genre? Almost Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Munley? Anybody that knows the game. I mean he sounds like a robot and he calls Celtic "Keltik" if u knew the game you would know how to pronounce it correct What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger and disappointment Any additional comments? Get a better narrator Good management book Loved listening to this management book. The insights given into the minds of footballs best managers are unique. The book shows what makes a great manager. Loved listening to the book. Would highly recommend. Scattered As a coach listening to this, I will need to listen to it atleast twice. The information is superb, however it is scattered and tossed at you so fast. Huge details scattered without a lot of depth at the given time. The depth comes later, but it makes it hard to connect everything at the time. I feel once I listen the second-third time, everything will start to settle in. Performance is dry. Brutal What did you like best about The Manager? What did you like least? The narration was horrific Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Munley? Anyone else. Sounded like I was getting driving directions and couldn't pronounce one person or team's name. Was The Manager worth the listening time? Yes for the content, but had to suffer Good book brutal job of narration This was really a very interesting and insightful work on English football managers. My big complaint is that they should've gotten somebody who was either British or they could've at least coached the narrator on how to pronounce a bunch of the names of the cities in the clubs that were in this book. He missed pronounced a ton of them. That said, the book is well worth it and was very very interesting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Start-a-Home-Cleaning-Business-Audiobook/B00HYMDUBS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good I think it was information. I didn't care for the robotic speaker. But worth buying and you will learn from it. Basic This book may help you de use weather or not you really want to start a cleaning business but it doesn't give too much detail on how to go about it. Though it does point you in the right direction it stops short of actually providing the information. I was interested but will still need to do much more research on getting a license, insurance/bond and getting on my feet. good but need more very good amount of information about what to expect when working with clients. especially listing warning signs about for problematic clients . however I needed more infrastructure steps not only referrals to sites I needed guidance on how to navigate each page. going to the SBA.GOV site can send you through unverified loops I Great start off. Gave me a lot of insight, love it. Would recommend this book to anyone, wanting to start a cleaning service just what I've been looking for this book is informative and covers all the details I've been researching.... from tips to tricks, cleaning solutions to wood polish techniques ... and more. I would recommend this book to those who are specifically interested in launching a cleaning business. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Big-Data-at-Work-Audiobook/B01LXHGP5N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great if you know little about the subject..... .... but not a pure dummies guide. Great book on the topic but got a bit old to the end. If you know little about the subject it's all good, if you know a lot then about half is good. Good but not great. Solid 4 stars. Good but not great. Solid 4 stars. Aggregates well known publicly available information into a solid well rounded structure and shares it in a semi-entertaining format. Some interesting case studies.

Title: The Orange Revolution Subtitle: How One Great Team Can Transform an Entire Organization Author: Adrian Gostick, Chester Elton Narrator: Adrian Gostick, Chester Elton Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 09-21-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Following the enormous popularity of their best-selling The Carrot Principle, Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton return with a groundbreaking guide to building high-performance teams. The powerful research reported in The Orange Revolution reveals that the true driver of exceptional success for great companies is not a genius CEO. Breakthrough success is driven by a particular breed of breakthrough team that generates its own momentum - a harmonious group of colleagues in the trenches, working passionately together to pursue a shared vision and leading their whole company to a new level. Yet the research also shows that less than 20 percent of teams are working anywhere near their optimal capacity. Based on their extraordinary experience working with leading companies, including Zappos.com, Pepsi Bottling Group, and Madison Square Garden, as well as on a never-before-published 350,000-person study by the Best Companies Group - which issues the Best Places to Work list - Gostick and Elton reveal the five vital characteristics of these great teams and provide a powerful step-by-step prescription for building them. Through remarkable stories from organizations that have used these methods to take teams to the breakthrough level, they show exactly how to ignite the passion and vision to bring about an Orange Revolution. Critic Reviews: "The Orange Revolution should be required reading for all people leaders wishing to unleash the power of their workforce and create an ongoing fountain of high performance.

Yet the research also shows that less than 20 percent of teams are working anywhere near their optimal capacity. Based on their extraordinary experience working with leading companies, including Zappos.com, Pepsi Bottling Group, and Madison Square Garden, as well as on a never-before-published 350,000-person study by the Best Companies Group - which issues the Best Places to Work list - Gostick and Elton reveal the five vital characteristics of these great teams and provide a powerful step-by-step prescription for building them.

(David Kasiarz, Senior VP of Global Compensation and Benefits, American Express) Members Reviews: Good Business Book on Teams Other than the fact that I wanted to frequently clear my throat while listening to Adrian Gostick (you'll understand when you listen to it) it was a awesome audio book. I have both the paper book and the audiobook. I liked listening to it better. You could feel the authors personality and passion. Which is always nice. The book has real stories with real companies that you recognize and can relate to. I previously worked at a top notch Children's hospital that knew exactly how to have "raving fans". I wish adult hospitals would figure this out. Powerfully and encouraging and motivating Story after story about real life teamwork very encouraging, inspiring, powerful, easy read and even easier to apply. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Danny-Meyers-Setting-the-Table-Audiobook/B0749B9T1P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: It's Not the How or the What but the Who Subtitle: Succeed by Surrounding Yourself with the Best Author: Claudio Fernandez-Araoz Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Succeed by mastering the art of the who. Why surround yourself with the best? Because it matters - in all aspects of life. In fact, in professional environments, getting people right - what global leadership authority Claudio Fernandez-Araoz calls "the art of great 'who' decisions" - marks the difference between success and failure. To thrive, you need to identify those with the highest potential, get them in your corner and on your team, and help them grow. Yet surprisingly very few of us are able to meet that challenge. This series of short and engaging essays outlines the obstacles to great "who" decisions and offers solutions to address them in a systematic way. Drawing from several decades of experience in global executive search and talent development, as well as the latest management and psychology research, Fernandez-Araoz offers wisdom and practical advice to improve the choices we make about employees and mentors, business partners and friends, top corporate leaders and even elected officials. The personal stories and cutting-edge studies described in the book will help you understand both your own failings and the external forces commonly at play in staffing decisions. The author shares concrete recommendations on how to select the best people, bring out their strengths, foster collective greatness in the groups you've assembled, and create not only better organizations, but also a better society. Starting with the cases of Amazon pioneer Jeff Bezos and Brazilian tycoon Roger Agnelli and continuing with individual and corporate examples from around the world, Fernandez-Araoz paints a vivid picture of what great "who" decisions look like and presents a fresh and commanding argument about why they matter today more than ever. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Claudio Fernandez-Araoz) Mon, 07 Nov 2016 20:09:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Its-Not-the-How-or-the-What-but-the-Who-Audiobook/B01M7YZMPE thebookvoice.com 05:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Choosing the right staff In October 2011, international executive search consultant, Fernandez-Araoz addressed the World Business Forum, a group of 4000 senior executives and middle managers in New York. He asked his audience the question I pose to you, too: âHow many of you have made major mistakes while making crucial people choices?â All 4000 people raised their hands. I bring this very practical book to you attention because of the answer he received to the second question he asked the Forum: âHow many of you have studied how to assess people (for the purposes of employment)?â If you are like those attending the forum, the answer is no. Less than half of 1% of attendees had studied how to select the right person for the job. Fernandez-Araoz has been an executive search consultant for 28 years across all major industries in more than forty countries. He concluded âthe key to outstanding performanceâis the ability to surround oneself with outstanding people.â Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric (GE), was widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of the 20th century. He reports that as a junior manager at GE 50% of his appointments were wrong. 30 years later, as CEO, 20% were wrong. If this legendary manager took 30 years to reduce his error rate by 20%, little wonder the rest of us have such trouble! Combine this challenge with the limited talent pool we have available in South Africa. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/A-Power-of-Impossible-Thinking-Audiobook/B0036G95C4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: really good book! This book, help you to brake old mental models and to beging a more powerful and succesing you , for bussiness and personal life The Impossible Seems Very Possible I am inspired by this book. I can see that others have turned around their business and their life by thinking big and wokring to make changes in how they think and act. This book shows it is possible. Must have Game changing Misleading title, basically a book on everyday common sense. I was excited about the title, in knowing what the author means by "Impossible Thinking." This book probably could have been compressed into a pamplet with contents from the first and last couple of chapters. The idea of Mental Models are thought provoking. The technique of Zooming In and Out are useful. The ending Nueroscience chapter is full of information. But then you have about 80% of the book in the middle that are just full of generalizations and very basic common sense thinking. It's hardly "Impossible" thinking, and nothing ground breaking. Instead of this reading, I would much recommend any self help book, or any book under "creativity" ("Cracking Creativity" by Michael Michalko is a good one) would be more insightfull. Very dissappointing book, especially with such a seemingly dramatic title. Just full of generalizations and repeatedly asks the reader basic common sense questions. A must read guide for CEOs and MBAs This is very powerful and inspiring book on organizational transformation and change strategy. This book must be a required reading for MBA students and senior executives. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Power-Hiring-Audiobook/B00O1GFOE6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Management cliches Maybe the full version of the book is good but this felt like a bunch of cliches that were too vague to do much with. The readers voice sounds like a robot. Almost un-listenable This audiobook is far and away the worst Ive ever listened to. It sounds like the narrator recorded each word individually and then assembled the audiobook by stringing them all together. I usually listen to books at 2.5x and have very high comprehension. With this book I slowed it down to 1x and still had very little comprehension. Terrible narration Sounds like it was read by a 1980's computer. It was really hard to focus and pay attention. nit an engaging audio presentation Collins is a great writer and the book contains great info but is very poorly presented. sounds almost like they used a computer generated voice that would barely pause. hard to make it through the whole thing but thankfully it's very short. Very difficult to follow due to robotic voice Found it near to impossible to understand due to the use of an automated voice to read the text. Don't bother and buy the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Agile-Product-Management-Audiobook/B01NBPFO83 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In fact, you might have already heard one of these jaw-dropping stories: the mother who called HR to complain when her daughter got a mediocre performance review. The recent college graduate who dialed the CEO directly to tell him what the company could be doing better. The young employee who revealed a new product launch on her Facebook page before it was announced to the public. As unbelievable as these scenarios seem, they are happening in workplaces around the world every day. In The M-Factor, Baby Boomer Lynne C. Lancaster and Generation Xer David Stillman identify the seven trends essential to understanding this new generation: The Parents, Entitlement, Meaning, Great Expectations, The Need for Speed, Social Networking, and Collaboration. Both humorous and savvy, this book - the ultimate guide to Millennials in the workplace - offers valuable insight and practical, actionable tips and solutions. Traditionalists, Boomers, Gen Xers, and even Millennials themselves can use The M-Factor to bridge generational gaps, be more productive, and achieve organizational success like never before.

Gallagher, president and chief executive officer, United Way Worldwide) Members Reviews: Talking to both sides of the generation gap Differences between Gen Y and older generations can cause frustration at work. While stereotypes don't apply to everyone, there is some obvious general truth to the current generation gap, and this book does a decent job of offering some explanations and potential solutions. The explanations are based on differences in childhood experiences, and the solutions are based on accepting the resulting discrepancies in behavior. "the M-factor" makes a special effort to see things from the side of the Millennials instead of just bashing them. This is useful for trying to figure out how to get along and better advice than I've seen elsewhere that just says to treat Gen Y like overgrown children. The lessons are mainly in the form of stories about misunderstandings, revealing both views of what happened, with eventual happy endings. One particularly interesting fable was about parents who moan about the #@$%& Millennials at work while encouraging in their own children the exact traits that drive them crazy in their co-workers. I'm sure this was well researched However, it came across to me as a book that condescendingly implies that we should all accept the Millennial Generation's self-assessed superiority over the poor souls who were born, grew up and went to work, hard, before they made their appearance on scene. Earlier generations should be happy to mentor these self-esteemed new employees into performing their jobs because they would be so much better at it. If you really MUST experience working with millennial gen newcomers...hey, just look around your office and discover the joy first hand. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Character-Based-Management-Audiobook/B074G5DRZP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Some or all of the following terms will probably come to mind: self-centered, liar, autocratic, has favorites, bullies, doesn't listen, dismisses your ideas, etc. Then think of the best boss you ever had. You will probably think of qualities such as the following: honest, keeps you in the loop, treats everyone the same, treats you with respect, wants your ideas on how to improve things, cares about you and your co-workers, good communicator, etc. What these lists show is that what makes someone a bad or good boss is not their technical skill or job-related knowledge, though both are important. What makes them a good or bad boss are the behaviors we call a person's character. The better our character, the better manager we will be. We can improve our character, and thereby improve our organization's effectiveness and productivity as well as our job satisfaction. Now is the time to start! Robert Beezat has managed a broad range of organizations. He helped start and became the eventual owner of a management consulting firm serving a national clientele.

I would put this book on my âmust read listâ for aspiring public service professionals. The book provides a concise formula, including how-to suggestions for self-improvement, to guide the manager. Robert Beezat blends academic, philosophical, and practical principles to show how character influences success as a manager. He draws upon his experience as a local government and non-profit manager, along with hundreds of management consulting assignments, to synthesize these principles. From the academic sphere, Beezat relies upon Henri Fayol who extols that âmoral characterâ.determines the quality of decisions.â The author reflects on the limits of a managerâs ability and philosophically discusses how a manager must recognize that for many factors, e.g., knowledge and certainty, there is a limit on the precision of managerial decision making. Beezatâs practical gems, based on his lifelong management experience, are sprinkled throughout the book and brought a smile to my face because his examples mirror some of my own. Fatherly advice to âdo it right the first timeâ reminded me of my fatherâs directive to âthink before you act.â Beezat shows how actions and behaviors shape our characterâand how that character impacts our decisions and the success of the organizations and people that we manage. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/David-Rock-on-How-to-Maximize-Your-Brain-at-Work-Audiobook/B00PBH54AI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Breaking Bad Habits Subtitle: Defy Industry Norms and Reinvigorate Your Business Author: Freek Vermeulen Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: It's very likely that best practices - ideas, processes, and strategies that are commonplace in your industry - are actually hurting your business. Although best practices can help businesses operate more competitively and efficiently, they are often outdated, harmful, and a hindrance to innovation. The problem is, managers and executives are usually blind to the negative effects of best practices, so they don't question their purpose or measure their effectiveness. As a consequence, outdated or harmful practices spread and persist without their knowledge. In Breaking Bad Habits, Freek Vermeulen, a strategy professor at London Business School, offers the tools to identify bad practices, eliminate them from your organization, and then move on to create new sources of innovation and growth by outthinking your competitors. Brimming with examples of norm-defying organizations in an eclectic range of industries, Breaking Bad Habits will make you rethink your long-held beliefs about industry norms while encouraging you to reinvigorate your business by breaking out of the status quo. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Freek Vermeulen) Tue, 14 Nov 2017 18:22:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Breaking-Bad-Habits-Audiobook/B0774VSX7B thebookvoice.com 04:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fun and insightful read Great book -- crisp, witty writing and lots of insights about how to rethink your business. âWe are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.â I agree with Aristotleâs comment, presuming to add accepting less than excellence (e.g. âgood is good enoughâ) can also become a habit rather than remain an isolated complacency. As decades of research by Anders Ericsson and his associates at Florida State University clearly reveal, an individualâs peak performance is the result of rigorous discipline and repetitive practices (âdeep workâ) -- under expert supervision -- over an extended period of time. In the Preface of this book, Freek Vermeulen observes, some âorganizations are also filled with practices â habitual ways of doing things â that are sometimes inefficient and bureaucratic, and that makes our blood boil. âSometimes these inefficient practices and strategies spread and persist for decades, or even longer. They persist just like viruses persist in nature. They take on lives of their own and continue operating despite leading to suboptimal results in companies that embody them. The good news is that smart managers can purposefully identify and eradicate them, and then turn them into a profitable source of renewal and innovation. That is what this book is about.â Vermeulen has identified what he characterizes as âThe Ten Commandments of Business Innovation.â Here they are, accompanied by my brief annotations: 1. Cut out the benchmarking: Whatever works well somewhere else probably wonât work as well here. 2. Reverse benchmark instead: Look for a practice that everyone else relies on. 3. Experiment if you can (but make sure to do it well): Test only what you can control and measure. 4. Monitor entrants and companies in distress: Who has nothing to lose? Who has everything to lose? 5. Ask insiders for concerns: That is especially true of people who interact directly with customers. 6. Ask outsiders for suspicions: What do others see as vulnerabilities to exploit? 7. Create bundles of practices: One-stop need fulfillment/problem-solving 8. Take aim at a chunk of the market: Where are the vulnerabilities to exploit? 9. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Fat-Tail-Audiobook/B002V1OCKK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Vital information clearly explained Introducing Big Data and Data Science practices into the legacy enterprise is a complex and challenging task. Nielsen & co. provide solid explanations of just what the problems and pitfalls are, and how to avoid them. An extremely valuable "listen." (And the narration is excellent as well.) A good quick little book but perhaps too much on specific technologies vendors I was looking for a book that would help be communicate these principles to line managers and to help me help them better. I give it a B+/A-. It started strong, really explaining what managers should now, but about 3/4 the way through went down a rabbit hole of explaining specific technologies and vendors, all of which in a few years will change. I would not expect any manager (aside those in analytics or a data center) to know half of this, let alone every manager. That made the title seem slightly misleading. The good news is this is so short so that was not too much time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/David-Allen-on-Managing-Your-Attention-Audiobook/B0170C5DQG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Reminder of GTD Reasoning You could use this quick listen two ways. One way to use it is as a refresher if you've read David Allen's book Getting Things Done several times and are implementing the practices (or trying to move into them.) The second way it could be used is as a quick overview to decide if you want to know more about GTD. If trying to decide whether or not to use GTD methodology with this information, do yourself the favor of listening to it 5 or 10 times before deciding not to.

It like going to MBA class without high overhead cost of time and money to attend a real MBA course. Love it I was lucky to have Prof. Mazzeo as a professor at Kellogg. Mazzeo, Schaefer, and Oyer do a great job of storytelling in this book. The examples give a common sense approach to business that is appropriate for any business owner. worth the time, but still dissapointing Would you consider the audio edition of Roadside MBA to be better than the print version? It's probably about the same. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The details about the businesses: their hiring strategies, information gathering were great. The discussions of the authors personal lives, choice of clothing, housing and navigation skills detracted from book. Any additional comments? Whiel I mostly enjoyed listening to this book and learning about the wide range of businesses around the country, the authors chose to litter it with self-deprecating humor, comments on their personal lives, and their troubles navigating. I would rather have heard more details about the businesses. For example, the compony mining old cars for precious metals was fascinating. I would like to have heard a longer discussion about the merits of risk sharing with their customers as opposed to earning from getting better estimates about the quantities of metals in the various car models. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Future-Search-Audiobook/B00D2YHYGY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With expertise and humour, he provides a cogent and methodical game plan to fight back. First, he sets out the asshole audit, to find out what kind of asshole needs dealing with, and asshole detection strategies. Then he reveals field-tested, sometimes surprising techniques, from asshole avoidance and asshole taxes to mind-tricks and the art of love bombing.

Iâm going to avoid spelling out the A word as I write this. The book is a great read. You donât need to have read the âNo A ruleâ to get value out of âThe A Survival Guide.â There are a plethora of real world examples and tips. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on âA Avoidance Techniquesâ and âMind Tricks That Protect Your Soul.â Aâs could be prevalent throughout an organization. In fact, there may be one right behind you! How you deal with these people depend on where there are and how high up or down they are in the company. You have to strategize and work with your peers, accordingly. Sutton takes care to explain how being an A isnât necessarily a permanent condition. Be cognizant of this. Donât go Defcon 5 immediately if dealing with an A. I liked Suttonâs observation that just distancing yourself from an A, even by 10 or 20 feet, can help reduce the toxicity of the atmosphere surrounding As. Becoming an A can be contagious. You donât have to read the book cover to cover in one sitting, and there are times youâll find it a great reference tool Be careful about making the book highly visible in your workspace. You donât know when an A will wander by. Some thoughts not in the book but still important â (1) If in a meeting, you donât recognize the A in the room, you may be the A. (2) Some music to hum if you need to tune out an A, from Willie Nelson â âMomma donât let your babies grow up to be Asââ If you have anyone in your life who drives you crazy, you need this book!! If I had read this book early in my career, I would be half an inch taller and a lot richer. I once had a boss who was so belittling that while I worked for him I literally shrunk half an inch. I finally got so angry that I quit, walking away from lots of stock options. We've all had people we work with who make us absolutely miserable. In this great book, Bob gives you lots of coping strategies. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Copywriting-Secrets-for-Infopreneurs-Audiobook/B002VA8U9K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Much good food for thought here. I'm getting started in copywriting so this gave me many practical tips and some more confidence to move forward. He quotes from several sources both within his field and from other specialties, and recommends several books to read for further knowledge. The interviewer was knowledgeable and asked good questions to clarify points. A great deal for the minimal cost! Poor sound quality, great content I try to give producers the benefit of the doubt; however, this is a call-in show/podcast that has been repurposed into an audiobook. Though the sound quality was garbage, the actual content was on the extreme opposite. So, if you can get past the bleeps and weird audio tics, then you'll get some excellent 4-1-1. this is the best copy trainer out there. David is very talented, practical and effective. after this training I worked with him directly and he helped me produce some excellent copy. I highly recommend this and all his work. Fascinating! Wonderful audio book. Listen to it at least three times, write notes, and take action! i like it. Good information. I feel the tips and advice given are practical and applicable. I will be testing to see how this works. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Journey-to-the-Emerald-City-Audiobook/B002V8LGZC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Summary: Patrick M. Lencioni's The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Kevin Theis Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of Patrick M. Lencioni's The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No. New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are. In this book, Lencioni brings together his vast experience and many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books and delivers a first: a cohesive and comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational health provides. Simply put, an organization is healthy when it is whole, consistent, and complete; and when its management, operations, and culture are unified. Healthy organizations outperform their counterparts, are free of politics and confusion, and provide environments where star performers never want to leave. Lencioni's first nonfiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking, approachable model for achieving organizational health - complete with stories, tips, and anecdotes from his experiences consulting to some of the nation's leading organizations. In this age of informational ubiquity and nanosecond change, it is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for conducting business in a new way - one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles. This summary is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the time to listen to the whole thing. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ant Hive Media) Mon, 16 May 2016 13:00:34 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Patrick-M-Lencionis-The-Advantage-Why-Organizational-Health-Trumps-Everything-Else-In-Business-Audiobook/B01FN1J2QS thebookvoice.com 00:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Google. Amazon. Facebook. The modern world is defined by vast digital monopolies turning ever-larger profits. Those of us who consume the content that feeds them are farmed for the purposes of being sold ever more products and advertising. Those that create the content - the artists, writers and musicians - are finding they can no longer survive in this unforgiving economic landscape. But it didn't have to be this way. In Move Fast and Break Things, Jonathan Taplin offers a succinct and powerful history of how online life began to be shaped around the values of the entrepreneurs like Peter Thiel and Larry Page who founded these all-powerful companies. Their unprecedented growth came at the heavy cost of tolerating piracy of books, music and film while at the same time promoting opaque business practices and subordinating the privacy of individual users to create the surveillance marketing monoculture in which we now live. It is the story of a massive reallocation of revenue in which $50 billion a year has moved from the creators and owners of content to the monopoly platforms. With this reallocation of money comes a shift in power. Google, Facebook and Amazon now enjoy political power on par with Big Oil and Big Pharma, which in part explains how such a tremendous shift in revenues from creators to platforms could have been achieved and why it has gone unchallenged for so long. And if you think that's got nothing to do with you, their next move is to come after your jobs. Move Fast and Break Things is a call to arms, to say that is enough is enough and to demand that we do everything in our power to create a different future. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jonathan Taplin) Thu, 04 May 2017 01:06:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Move-Fast-and-Break-Things-Audiobook/B071NFMZZQ thebookvoice.com 08:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A very interesting read An excellent, well reasoned discussion about the current cyber monopolies in the world and their potential for harm. Worth a listen and a think! I disagreed with a lot of what was said in the book. Really enjoyed it though and would recommend it! current and scary great telling of the world we live in and how we could change it for the better Thought provoking anti trust book. Loved it! I weened myself off Facebook as a result of reading this book and have started using (or at least trying to) more anonymity online. Very well researched and a great read for the lover of tech anti-trust. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Stewardship-Audiobook/B002V0KM1Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Recording (P)1997 by Audio Literature; Copyright ©1993, 1996 by Peter Block Members Reviews: Great Thoughts I found Peter Block's ideas fascinating. Peter Block is an experienced consultant with some revolutionary ideas about how business and government should be run. In this book he talks about service, community, empowerment, responsibility and accountability. He shows how work and family life can be more fulfilling and rewarding for all of us if we can change our thinking on how business is structured. Critics may think he's too idealistic, too radical, too impractical, but the interviews at the end of the audiobook show how these ideas are being successfully implemented in three different organizations, a school district, a police department, and at Harley Davidson. Margaret Wheatley, author of "A Simpler Way" and "Leadership and the New Science", both available at Audible, was also interviewed. Change is difficult and those in power now will probably have the most trouble accepting these ideas. But these ideas can transform us and society, and they should be embraced by all. A New Way of Thinking Block presents the concept of stewardship as a new form of leadership or governance that places service ahead of self-interest and creates partnership rather than dependency. It takes the idea of empowerment presented in his earlier book, The Empowered Manager, to a whole new level. Block is constantly contrasting traditional leadership with the model of stewardship with phrases like "service over self-interest," "patriarchy vs. partnership," and "dependency vs. empowerment," to name a few. The main idea is that commitment to the larger community or organization is what creates effective organizational systems, and we inspire that commitment by allowing those involved to create the vision Love the concept but can it be done? Would you listen to Stewardship again? Why? I've listened to it twice and will probably listen to it many more times on my long commute. I love this radical departure from the normal corporate ideology. It's very appealing to an entrepreneur like me who's had to fit herself into the corporate grind after calling my own shots for a few decades. Many, but not all, are hungry for ownership and a share in the rewards and privileges. This will take a lot of willpower and determination to implement, along with a healthy dose of un-indoctrination. Not sure it can be accomplished, but will be fun to try! What was one of the most memorable moments of Stewardship? When we take ownership, we give up the luxury of having others take care of us. What does Michael Toms bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Very low key, laid back presentation. Peaceful voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Moments-of-Impact-Audiobook/B00KAGLQKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good,, but not an audiobook. The format makes is a very interesting book. however, the list-heavy format makes it a difficult audio-listen. Another audiobook failure. Buy the real book Is there anything you would change about this book? The publisher doesn't include a PDF supplement with any of the diagrams, tables, or starter kit of the actual book. The audio book is good but doesn't stand on its own. Any additional comments? It's very frustrating that in 2015 audible sells nothing more than the digital equivalent of audio cassette tapes. The Audible app is barely adequate, both in terms of function and the lack of features beyond just playing the narration.. Chapter markings never match the real chapters of the book making it hard to reference a position Or page. Worst of all you almost never see any of the visual elements presented in a book in its audible version. Only too rare are PDF supplements. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lean-4-Manuscripts-Six-Sigma-Lean-Startup-Lean-Analytics-Lean-Enterprise-Audiobook/B076XNNDDG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

One of the best audiobooks Excellent! I think this book does a great job of exploring how Lean can work in small, medium, and large businesses. It also does a good job at showing what managers did to implement Lean practices, and the results of the implementation. The businesses used as point of reference in the book are manufacturing entities. This covers everything An amazing book for anyone who wants to learn how Lean works. It covers the full range of topics in business. What makes this book an interesting read is that the information is organized in such a nice way that it never feels boring. After closing this book, I feel like going back again to review some parts that have intensely drawn my interest and will definitely implement them. pretty well Easy to read with some good practical advise. This book breaks it down pretty well. The narration was clear and well paced. I think for beginners it is a nice easy to understand, concise introduction and works well as a quick reference. I would recommend the book to people who need to understand the basics of Lean but have not had a chance or resources to take an in depth course yet. Good info and helpful The authors explain very well different lean startup methods from the point of view of an enterprise and combine it with great case studies from lean startup in the corporate world. A must read for a company planning to rethink its approach to innovation! Really helpful.. . However, I think this book is excellent and am glad to have purchased it! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Practical-Empathy-Audiobook/B01M29QSMV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Insightful, pragmatic and inspiring As a long-time meditator and peace activist, I tend to be wary of the sudden recent "rediscovery" of empathy in design and business. Yet among all the shallow posturing, every now and then you come across a writer or designer who really does understand what is needed. Indi Young is one of those who has thought deeply about empathy and its role in collaboration and design. Her book is titled perfectly - this is above all a guide to applied, empirical empathy in our work. And it does take work. The words practice, teaching, learning, repeating all stand out. I really like that Practical Empathy is both aspirational ("It feels different to be a true listener,") and realistic ("You are not expected to embrace everything written here wholesale. Instead, incorporate bits and pieces into your regular work practice.") What you practically learn here is how to listen in a new way to the needs of users - and the techniques for doing so are neither obvious or easy. And building on that listening, how to structure what you hear into patterns of behaviour that you can, in turn, use as the basis of design decisions. I recommend the book - and the accompanying website - without hesitation. And if you are fortunate enough, do take the opportunity to study the techniques first hand with Indi. I did so recently in Seattle and it was an outstanding day of learning. I love this book This book has totally changed the way I communicate with people, and our customers. Empathy is something one needs to practice and cultivate. I have been making excellent progress since reading this book. For me this book goes way beyond the "customer" it also includes my family members and people I work with everyday. It includes strangers I meet on my daily train commute. Science of Emotion Indi Young brings the scientist's mindset to solving for emotion in design. Her guidance is clear and ready to follow as you design for empathy and emotion. Love it. Drives home what empathy really is and ... Love it. Drives home what empathy really is and isn't. Caused me to think differently and hopefully, therefore respond differently.

Critic Reviews: "No self-respecting law firm leader should be prepared to run the risk of leaving it unread." (Charles Martin, Senior Partner, Macfarlanes) Members Reviews: Good, crucial stuff to chew through I like this author's style of thinking things through on various levels, some more classically philosophical, some business organization themes, some more nuts-and-bolts technical, some fuzzy- (or prickly-) interpersonal and psychological. The author wanders over some varied scenarios, some parts of which will probably be prominent in what lawyers, at least in "BigLaw" firms, will face in future. (And the volatility downhill from there can be even steeper at the more "mom and pop" level.) A lot of money and personal fortunes are at stake. This field has already had its share of stark disruptions, decade by decade, so those in law office management not scanning the horizons somewhat in the manner of this book must be fully deluded. Another reviewer was focused on the narrator's performance, and had nothing to say about the book except it "was great." I found this a red herring. The narrator has a very warm low purr that meshes with the material very well. Yes, he fumbles a word or name occasionally, but this is totally peripheral. I would rate the narrator's error rate as reasonably low, especially given the idiosyncratic names and terms, and found narration not distracting at all. Insightful but ruined by the narrator The book was great, but listening to the audio version was extremely distracting because of the narrator's lack of familiarity with the pronunciation of names and words that are familiar to lawyers and professionals. In a book about large law firms, it ought to be elementary to learn how to pronounce "Wachtell," but somehow the narrator thinks it is pronounced WATCH-ull. Ditto for "mores" and numerous other mispronunciations.

"Would you recommend this business to a friend?" According to Reichheld, this measure of customer satisfaction should be at the heart of all strategic decisions made by every company. He presents compelling case studies to show how customer satisfaction is more important than any business criterion besides profits. You'll learn how financial pressures have caused some executives to sacrifice true customer satisfaction in exchange for "bad profits". Such shortsightedness undermines long-term growth and success.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: An awakening message This is an excellent book: it really reminds you that customers are ruling and many companies are forgeting this at their own expense. The book provides and easy to apply methodology to realy focus your business to the customers, in fact, not in declarations. It gets upgraded from 4 to 5 stars for the practical methodology described by the author. I recommend the book to anybody who wants to excel in business. Good idea, poorly narrated I like the idea and the concept of this book - a little overexplained, but that's forgivable. The narration, and editing, of the audio however, are very poor - the repeat takes are so badly cut together, it makes the narrator sound like a non-native English speaker who isn't always sure where to put the emphasis in a sentence. Good profits Simplistic in its approach but enduring if obtained. Business leaders should read this book to re-calibrate themselves on the golden rule and how it can be truly measured. Great Book! Performance wasn't the best, but the message was amazing! Well worth a listen... Especially if you are in a business... Ultimate Question Would you listen to The Ultimate Question again? Why? Loved hearing this book on my iPod. I am not much of a book reader and was given the assignment to read the book by my company. I was able to listen to it a couple of times and have the ideas in my head clearly to discuss them at the meeting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, I listened to it over several days when I had time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Risk-Driven-Business-Model-Audiobook/B01MFH61OM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Risk-Driven Business Model Subtitle: Four Questions That Will Define Your Company Author: Karan Girotra, Sergueri Netesine Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: How to outsmart risk. Risk has been defined as the potential for losing something of value. In business, that value could be your original investment or your expected future returns. The Risk-Driven Business Model will help you manage risk better by showing how the key choices you make in designing your business models either increase or reduce two characteristic types of risk - information risk, when you make decisions without enough information, and incentive-alignment risk, when decision makers' incentives are at odds with the broader goals of the company. Leaders who understand how the structure of their business model affects risk have the power to create wealth, revolutionize industries, and shape a better world. INSEAD's Karan Girotra and Serguei Netessine, noted operations and innovation professors who have consulted with dozens of companies, walk you through a business model audit to determine what key decisions get made in a business, when they get made, who makes them, and why we make the decisions we do. By changing your company's key decisions within this framework, you can fundamentally alter the risks that will impact your business. This book is for entrepreneurs and executives in companies involved in dynamic industries where the locus of risk is shifting, and includes lessons from Zipcar, Blockbuster, Apple, Benetton, Kickstarter, Walmart, and dozens of other global companies. The Risk-Driven Business Model demystifies business model risk, with clear directives aimed at improving decision making and driving your business forward. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Karan Girotra) Mon, 07 Nov 2016 07:31:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Risk-Driven-Business-Model-Audiobook/B01MFH61OM thebookvoice.com 06:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Building a Framework for Understanding Business Model Innovation "The Risk Driven Business Model" is focused on something called "business model innovation." In the authors' own words, this is not innovation in the product-oriented sense: they state that business model innovation delivers existing products based on existing technologies to existing markets. Rather, business model innovation is all about changing the way that business is performed--in other words, competing with the same basic product in the same market but with an entirely new underlying business model. Two classic examples of business model innovation given by the authors are Toyota and Zipcar: Toyota's lean production system revolutionized the automotive industry by focusing on the way cars are manufactured and distributed, and Zipcar's way of renting cars by the hour instead of by the day upended the rental car industry. While maybe not as sexy as "traditional" technological or product focused innovation, business model innovation has a lot going for it, as the authors of this book point out with tons of very convincing examples. There's not a lot of uncertainty: the market already exists and you know the key players. It's easy to transfer a business model innovation from one industry to another (witness how nearly every manufacturing facility now uses elements of Toyota's production system) than to transfer a technological or product innovation. Once an innovative business model has been established, it's hard for competitors to copy or steal it, since it is often largely internal to the company. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/100-ideas-practicas-para-mejorar-sus-resultados-comerciales-100-Practical-Ideas-to-Improve-Your-Business-Results-Audiobook/B071XDHGJD Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> Título: 100 ideas prácticas para mejorar sus resultados comerciales [100 Practical Ideas to Improve Your Business Results] Autor: José María Mateu Narrador: Alfonso Sales Formato: Unabridged Duración: 7 hrs and 49 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 06-19-17 Editor: ASB Audiolibros en español Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 62 votos Categorías: Business, Management Resumen del editor: Este audiolibro es el resultado del proceso de búsqueda, individual y colectivo, creativo y organizativo, evolutivo y constructivo, en el que va a encontrar buenas ideas para implementar cambios en su trayectoria emprendedora u organizacion comercial que le lleve a mas y mejores resultados.

Me ha resultado muy inspirador. Muy buenas ideas What did you love best about 100 ideas prácticas para mejorar sus resultados comerciales [100 Practical Ideas to Improve Your Business Results]? Este libro abarca todo el proceso de comercialización de la empresa. En mi caso he podido poner en práctica la mayor parte de las ideas. Otras me han sorprendido por su obviedad aunque yo no les daba la suficiente importancia en el día a día. Lo recomiendo. ideas prácticas son consejos prácticos Ojalá en un futuro algún autor o el mismo los retome desde el punto de vista de empresas latinas y PYMES. Muy útil para escuchar día a día Lo escuché por fases de 5 o 6 ideas cada día y me pareció muy útil. Haré una segunda escucha para poder aplicar mejor muchas de las ideas. Narrador mal El libro puede tener ideas buenas pero es una falta de atención y profesionalismo en un capítulo se bloquea el sonido y quedan momentos mudos luego se escuchan que tosen https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Entrepreneur-Revolution-Audiobook/B00DG3A7T2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Entrepreneur Revolution Subtitle: How to Develop Your Enterpreneurial Mindset and Start a Business That Works Author: Daniel Priestley Narrator: Glen McCready Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 144 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: The world is embarking on a new age: the age of the entrepreneur, the agile small business owner, the flexible innovator. The days of the industrial age are over. Its time to break free from the industrial revolution mind-set, quit working so hard, follow your dream and make a fortune along the way. The slow dinosaurs of the industrial age are being outpaced by fast-moving start-ups, ambitious small businesses, and technological innovators. Entrepreneur Revolution is a master-class in gaining an entrepreneurial mind-set, showing you how to change the way you think, the way you network, and the way you make a living. Successful entrepreneur Daniel Priestley will show you how to embrace the Entrepreneur Revolution and thrive in the new age.

Entrevo has offices in London, Melbourne, Singapore, and Tampa and works with over 600 entrepreneurs each year to develop their business with the support of high-net-worth entrepreneurs and other celebrated business leaders. Critic Reviews: "Few people have done more to inspire an entrepreneur revolution and give entrepreneurs the tools and advice they need to grow their businesses in recent years than Dan. What I love about what he says and what he writes is that it all comes from a deep personal experience of bootstrapping a successful global small business himself from little more than a maxed out credit card." (Mike Harris, Founder of FirstDirect and Egg PLC, author of Find Your Lightbulb) "Daniels book is a brilliant resource to help entrepreneurs find their place and live the entrepreneur revolution dream." (Alistair Lukies, CEO of Monitise) "Daniel Priestleys book Entrepreneur Revolution perfectly teaches how to adopt an enterprising, street-smart mindset that produces results. His own failures, like mine, have taught him valuable and practical down-to-earth lessons which any aspiring leaders can learn from and will enjoy trying and applying themselves." (Lara Morgan, Founder of Pacific Direct) "Daniel Priestley is one of a kind. Having worked with him for many years now, I can clearly see his unique ability to intuitively identify a collective need and provide a completely innovative solution, always at the right time and in the right place." (Andrew Griffiths, Australias number-one small-business author) "This book will totally change the way you think about growing a business.

There were a couple moments that I feel certainly changed me, which is a lot to gain from a five hour audiobook. I am no stranger to researching entrepreneurship, and I honestly expected a lot of the same things I have heard in other books. I was pleasantly surprised to find some of my ideas challenged. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Organizing-for-Success-Audiobook/B009LO1MVM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: The phrase "less is more" may be true about many things, but it's not true when it comes to customer experience. Companies that want to stay relevant must apply more energy, focus, and resources to creating knock-your-socks-off customer experiences than they ever did before. The companies that embrace a "more is more" philosophy work harder and go further to ensure that their customers have positive experiences. Companies that understand the importance of a relationship - even one individual relationship - are willing to go to any length to ensure that they continue to nurture that relationship. They do this through customer-focused strategies and leadership, via operations, policies, and procedures that consider how the customer will fare in every scenario. More Is More provides practical advice for building or improving customer experience that you can apply immediately at your own organization. Because time is of the essence, your customers are not willing to wait for you to get the customer experience right. This book shows you the invisible toxins that are killing your customer experience and your market share and how you should address them. More Is More sets you up for success, outlining the key areas you need to address immediately so you can weather external changes, remain relevant, and thrive in the ever-changing business landscape. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Blake Morgan) Tue, 30 May 2017 13:38:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/More-Is-More-Audiobook/B072FRYXS7 thebookvoice.com 05:12:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Buy the Book Instead If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? The book i fine, it's the narration that kills it. I'm amazed I managed to stick it out. What was most disappointing about Blake Morgans story? The content is good but other books lay out similar concepts with summary points at the end of each chapter and I find this hugely helpful when listening and learning from audiobooks. I would definitely read more of Blake Morgan's work Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Caroline McLaughlin? Anyone! Honestly it was dire, you couldn't pay me to listen to this again. It's a shame as the book content is decent and I've looked up some of the models/concepts proposed and they have much to offer. Any additional comments? Decent book content, just avoid the droney robotic narration at all costs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Millennial-Workforce-Cracking-the-Code-to-Generation-Y-in-Your-Company-Audiobook/B0722P8NCD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Each person is different and unique with very individual circumstances. If I were to tell Javier to follow-up with this book I'd tell him to highlight millennial profiles, where he'd take on different case studies and apply them to each type of millennial. I've known and worked with Javier for sometime so I have a sense of his way of doing business and he can be an impressive person with a strong leadership style, this is highlighted well in this book. The interview section an talent recruitment section should be the reason you read it. There's a vast amount of power here from an employer looking to hire talent from any skill set or age range, not just millennials. I also wish that Javier would have included more take-away pieces in each chapter. Yes, he mentioned them but obvious things like a mission statement are basic. We all know most companies have or are at least aware of the vision/mission statement. What I want are more wide ranging tools like the interview models, but then I also feel like you'd have to change the scope of the content in general. A side note on performance: please revise this book and omit the "scratch-scratch" errors. All in all, I'm impressed yet unsatisfied. There should be more tools and strategies on developing a millennial work force. Still don't let that deter you from listening to what Javier has to say. This is a fantastic audiobook for any entrepreneur who is completely clueless about the millennial generation. Life changing book for those managing millenniums I manage a large team of millenniums and as you read this book you can see all the issues that have happened over the years play out in the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Dan-Ariely-on-Understanding-the-Logic-Behind-Illogical-Decisions-Audiobook/B00OC2AF02 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ariely is a Kick I finished listening to "Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions" (2008) a couple of weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. Ariely explains complex studies on Behavioral Economics in a way that's easy to understand and apply. "Dan Ariely on Understanding the Logic Behind Illogical Decisions" (2014) is a quick introduction to the concepts explored in "Predictably Irrational". I listened to this AMA (American Management Association) second, and it was a complement to the much longer book. Ariely himself was actually interviewed for the podcast, and he's a lively speaker.

Members Reviews: When itâs time to release our product there is are lists, lists, and more QA assurance checks When itâs time to release our product there is are lists, lists, and more QA assurance checks. Planning how to best get to the point where the release is ready is not an easy feat. Delivering the product ends up becoming the point of marketing, development, the product owner, stakeholder feedback, vender specifications, and outside experts. To produce a quality product change is ongoing and iteration advancement is not always foreseen in the areas I expect. Building a release plan and strategizing the people and skills we need are planning with lists. This book thankfully is more than lists and its products are the vision that the reader brings with them. The roadmap to release was something that begin with lists and people and ended with strategies and stories. This book is one I will appreciate as reference on my shelves. This was a good read. Mr Joe Training Book This book provides a training course on release planning. The book contains good information and a process to implement release planning. I liked the book and believe I can use the information. Four Stars Great information.

When I first started seeing these things I immediately recognized their utility. They've grown in popularity, and in my opinion, the cleanest and most effective landing pages involve them, especially for startups. I appreciate a manual for their production. It's not a trivial task, you want to get it right the first time, and you don't want to squander your money. This book brings some much-welcomed structure to the approach, and it comes at a good time as I become involved in these efforts at my company. An Effective Strategic Framework for Creating Explainer Videos Regardless of what type of business you are in, whether you are an online entrepreneur or a brick and mortar business person, you'll get value out of this book. Why? All businesses have an online presence and eMarketing with effective explainer videos is vitally important. This book does a great job providing and explaining a strategic framework for effective explainer videos...a gem of a book. Everything you need to know about explainers I downloaded this one in conjunction with the author's other book on video marketing. It's a great manual on approaching an explainer video project, which is a big investment for many startups. It answered almost all of my questions. It stays away from the homemade or DYI approach, which I had hoped to learn more about. Otherwise, it was helpful knowledge to have before approaching a producer. Awesome content! I was looking into a beginners guide to create videos professionally for my homepage and advertisements and just browsing around when I found Dan's book. Wasn't expecting much as the first book you usually buy doesn't help. But this book BLEW ME AWAY! So much good content and I feel I am absolutely ready to make my videos professionally now. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Managing-at-the-Leading-Edge-Audiobook/B072MK6Z52 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Technology, globalization, and demographic shifts provide new potential for personal and business success. Yet, research tells that only 30 percent of our attempts to implement change succeed amid the turbulence we encounter both within and outside today's organizations. We need new ways of thinking and doing if we are to turn potential into performance. Managing at the Leading Edge provides a new evidence-based roadmap for leadership success in a dynamic context. Managing at the Leading Edge highlights lessons from the navigation and piloting practices used in high performance sailing. In the contemporary "white water" business environment, as at sea, achieving goals requires choosing a destination amidst uncertainty, adjusting to continually shifting conditions, converting the push and pull of environmental forces into momentum, and using different skills at different times to negotiate hazards and achieve success. Easy-to-grasp and recall, this book proposes a framework of leadership with a dual focus on navigating and piloting. This framework is supported by new evidence-based insights about personal and organizational high performance. Systematic comparisons of high performing leaders and organizations with leaders and organizations that have not yet achieved this distinction illustrate how the principles of navigation and piloting apply. This research featured surveys of over 1,000 senior and mid-level leaders, the results of over a 100 interviews and the author's extensive consultation experience with a host of leaders and organizations. Through case studies, discussion of relevant research, practical tools, and templates, Managing at the Leading Edge will help you learn: Armed with leadership capabilities of high performance navigating and piloting you will be able to recognize and act on opportunities for enhanced leadership impact and achieve results that matter for you, your peers, and your organization. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Tom Rose) Thu, 08 Jun 2017 05:50:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Managing-at-the-Leading-Edge-Audiobook/B072MK6Z52 thebookvoice.com 06:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Managing at the Leading Edge Subtitle: Navigating and Piloting Business Strategy at Critical Moments Author: Tom Rose Narrator: Michael Sears Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-17 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: We live in an exciting time. Technology, globalization, and demographic shifts provide new potential for personal and business success. Yet, research tells that only 30 percent of our attempts to implement change succeed amid the turbulence we encounter both within and outside today's organizations. We need new ways of thinking and doing if we are to turn potential into performance. Managing at the Leading Edge provides a new evidence-based roadmap for leadership success in a dynamic context. Managing at the Leading Edge highlights lessons from the navigation and piloting practices used in high performance sailing. In the contemporary "white water" business environment, as at sea, achieving goals requires choosing a destination amidst uncertainty, adjusting to continually shifting conditions, converting the push and pull of environmental forces into momentum, and using different skills at different times to negotiate hazards and achieve success. Easy-to-grasp and recall, this book proposes a framework of leadership with a dual focus on navigating and piloting. This framework is supported by new evidence-based insights about personal and organizational high performance. Systematic comparisons of high performing leaders and organizations with leaders and organizations that have not yet achieved this distinction illustrate how the principles of navigation and piloting apply. This research featured surveys of over 1,000 senior and mid-level leaders, the results of over a 100 interviews and the author's extensive consultation experience with a host of leaders and organizations. Through case studies, discussion of relevant research, practical tools, and templates, Managing at the Leading Edge will help you learn: Armed with leadership capabilities of high performance navigating and piloting you will be able to recognize and act on opportunities for enhanced leadership impact and achieve results that matter for you, your peers, and your organization. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Simply-Effective-Audiobook/B018UKSASA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are so many choices to be made, people to involve, processes to manage, and facts to analyze, it's impossible to get things done. And in today's hypercompetitive world, that can be fatal.

Members Reviews: Simple and Effective Rather than a complex model to understand complexity, the author has brought the issue into the personal realm: what do I do - as a leader and a follower - that contributes to complexity in my organization, and what can I do differently to become more effective. The danger is that everyone will run out and buy this book to give to others as a way to get them to change. The opportunity is for everyone to read this book and begin with their own changes, improving both accountability and effectiveness. Five Stars Great writing. Down to Earth. Examples are essential and well presented and justified. This book... yes, it gets to the points quickly and can be very valuable to you and your business There are some real pearls of wisdom for change efforts and the stories, tips, and advice the author provides is invaluable. Break out your highlighter and get to work, this book won't let you down. Five Stars Excellent condition, thank you very much Simply and Effectively Excellent Albert Einstein said that "Everything should be made as simple as possible and no simpler." Peter Drucker said that "Working on the right things is what makes knowledge work effective." I don't know if those quotes inspired Ron Ashkenas, the author of Simply Effective, but they could have. If you're looking for ways to understand unnecessary complexity in your business and root it out, you should read this book. The key to the value of this book is clearly stated in the Preface: The author says that the tools he refers to will probably be familiar to you. Then he says this: "My intent is not to rehash these tools, but rather to put them in the context of how they can be used either singly or in combination to tackle different aspects of complexity--or to be woven together into a more comprehensive strategy." What makes this a great book is the simple structure. It provides a lens you can use to spot and analyze needless or destructive complexity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Leaders-Guide-to-Radical-Management-Reinventing-the-Workplace-for-the-21st-Century-Audiobook/B008S1Q214 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Organizations today face a crisis. The crisis is of long standing and its signs are widespread. Most proposals for improving management address one element of the crisis at the expense of the others. The principles described by award-winning author Stephen Denning simultaneously inspire high productivity, continuous innovation, deep job satisfaction, and client delight. Denning puts forward a fundamentally different approach to management, with seven interlocking principles of continuous innovation: focusing the entire organization on delighting clients; working in self-organizing teams; operating in client-driven iterations; delivering value to clients with each iteration; fostering radical transparency; nurturing continuous self-improvement; and communicating interactively.

Members Reviews: Successful Teams In The Modern Workplace Great synthesis of several trends that are making team successful in the modern workplace. What I like most about this book as that all of the trends are found in one book. Great content for agile organizations. The content was great. It provided principles to follow and stories of success. Agile mindset and management was the underlying theme. The narrator was a bit boring and I lost focus often so I had to listen in small chunks of time. Radical Management is good ROI Radical Management is both value creating economically and qualitatively. It will benefit your return on investment with meaning. Read it! creat însotite and realistic examples I liked the examples and the structure. it makes it really easy to read, remember and apply. good book on leadership. Good but not great I was hoping to get more out of this book. A lot of repetitions.

Title: Scrum Essentials Subtitle: Agile Software Development and Agile Project Management for Project Managers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Stakeholders Author: Troy Dimes Narrator: Alex Ballantyne Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-14 Publisher: Jason Cannon Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Create software that delivers more value. Ideas are cheap. A lot of people seem to think that majority of the software development process is just creating a vague concept of an application that people might want. Youve probably heard a lot of people say things like, I have this idea for an app thatll surely reach a million downloads! only to find their apps lost in an ocean of similar apps. Creating great software and delivering them on time requires a rather systematic but not overly rigid implementation scheme. Quality and time must go together. If you deliver software thats full of bugs or poor in user experience, you really cant expect another transaction with your client. A lot of programmers fear this outcome and instead take too long to create programs. You have a limited amount of time to create software, especially when youre given a deadline, self-imposed or not. Youll want to make sure that the software you build is at least decent but more importantly, on time. How do you balance quality with time? This audiobook dives into these very important topics.

This is a quick no-nonsense introduction to Scrum. Good pace and clear explanations. I feel bad criticizing the narrator but I found him hard to listen to! I found his voice grating and there were a few mispronounced words and odd pauses. Listen to the sample before you buy to see if it will annoy you as might just be me. A great introduction to scrum methodology! Great introduction as a medical technology hobbyist to have a framework to guide my development Good, if limited. Read if you are new to Scrum While it covers some good areas of Scrum, I found it a little short and lacking in further examples and ideas. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/48-Hour-Start-Up-From-Idea-to-Launch-in-1-Weekend-Audiobook/B01G7HXEW0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Data Analytics..... This is a nice book to figure out how to manage the information in the industry. I like how it uses business world standards as a member of a few of the themes considered. A lot of naiveté corporations falls flat not on account of they don't have knowledge investigation, but rather in light of the fact that they can't find or discover the cause of why their organizations didn't thrive. The book is an unbelievable read for learners. To peruse and completely value it, no knowledge test is needed. The records give a prolog to the particularly important procedures. This book cleared my ideas, how a typical mistake made in an investigation is to exceed the noteworthiness of the issues or to apply the results to the all-inclusive area when there is no logical rationale for doing as such. I thoroughly recommend fresh or used business hunting for the positive post in knowledge administration and information analysis when all is told in done. Useful for business owners What made the experience of listening to Data Analytics the most enjoyable? This is practical introduction regarding data analysis. It emphasizes more advantage of using data analysis to business and companies. This has given me about data management, data mining, and data integration. A high-quality insight in using data analytics that useful for business owners. Begin here What did you love best about Data Analytics? I purchased this book because I wanted to find new ways to expand my business. I know that there so much information available when it comes to analyzing trends. Until I bought this audio book I didnt know where to begin. This guides give a great explanation as to what data analytics is and where to start. Basically Basics of the Basics! Really nice for one that started today's morning on data kindergarten. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Hard-Goals-Audiobook/B00B3JTHSI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Get promoted? Change the world? Theres a goal for that . . . Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, the school teacher next door who amassed a million-dollar fortune . . . Did these people succeed because they were more motivated or because they were more disciplined? The answer to both questions is yes - but not in the ways you might think. Anyone can achieve extraordinary things. The secret is setting goals that test the very limits of your abilities. In Hard Goals, Mark Murphy, the acclaimed author of Hundred Percenters, explains the science behind getting from where you are to where you want to be in your career, business, and life. Leadership IQ, Murphys top-rated leadership training consultancy, studied nearly 5,000 workers from virtually every field and found that extraordinary goals - the kind that got America to the moon and back, developed the iPod, created nanotechnology, and helped individuals overcome tremendous personal adversity - stimulate and engage the brain in ways that are profoundly different from the goals most people set. Research conducted for this book revealed that people who set Hard goals are up to 75 percent more fulfilled than people with easy goals. In these pages, Mark Murphy explains how success, and the satisfaction it brings, comes from knowing how to set goals that are: People set goals all the time, but the majority end up unfulfilled or abandoned.

Members Reviews: Great Start of understanding this business This has been a very easy purchase. Received in a decent amount of time. Product is great! Will purchase again. Good quality product Fast delivery. Good quality product. Good Novice Book I have to counter the bad reviews. This book, like the others in the series, is meant for someone who is an absolute beginner. The only criticisms in previous reviews are that the book is not advanced enough. I knew 0% about import/export when I got this book. From that viewpoint it has been great! This sticks to the absolute basics and defines all the elementary professional jargon. It assumes you know nothing. There are so many details in export/import that such a low-level book is essential. Also, following the formula of the series, the authors give a little psychological test of whether you are suited for the career and they show some hypothetical balance sheets and start-up costs. This is perfect if you are just poking your nose into a new field and need to make decisions about whether to pursue further research. I have read a number of books in the Startup series and they are all useful. Also good is that the authors have interviewed a number of professionals to gather some real-world experiences. As long as you know that this is a base level introduction, you can't but give it five stars! Light reading to start you off... not much more.. This is the first book I read when I decided to start my own import/export business. It's light, easy reading and mildly humorous, making it a quick read and is good for basic definitions if you don't know anything about import/export. The first 60 odd pages have a straightforward basic description of the import/export process, after which the book goes into marketing, how to do business in foreign countries, what equipment you need..etc.. and all the other stuff you should actually know already as part of your life skills. Having lived in a number of other countries and learned some foreign languages, and having a good grasp of IT and telecommunications, I found the last 2/3rd's of the book pretty useless, but it may be helpful if you've been living under a rock your whole life. For those who want the real 'meat and potatoes' from the get go, I recommend the Dummies guide and Kenneth Weiss book on Starting an Import.Export Business. Happy trading :) a great starting point This is a great starting point. The subject of import/export can be very complex, but this book is simple right to the core. Yes there are some lame jokes, but the information is solid and the book well researched, and is full of all the information you need to understand this area of business. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Y-Size-Your-Business-Audiobook/B0031SH5EC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: For baby boomer managers This is a must read for baby boomer managers of the Gen Y. Insight on how they think Interesting topic with a lot of fluff! I will say that the subject matter was very interesting and I now have a habit of considering an employees generation when assessing performance. The book was mostly making the same points over and over and over again. There were also many times when it seemed like the author was bashing generation y's work ethic. I found the style of writing to be a little bit annoying, but it got the point across. The first half of the book was informative and engaging. If I had stopped there, this review would be 5 stars. MILLENNIAL GERNERATION Jason Ryan Dorseys book is an insightful look at the 1977 to 1995 American cohort known as the Y or Millennial generation. Three observations by Dorsey are that Millennials: 1)are not tech savvy but are tech dependent; 2) are participants in the work place that includes, for the first time in history, four different employee generations; and 3) that money is not Y generations primary motivation for work. Matures, Boomer, and X generation managers have to learn how to suspend their ideas about what works in an organization and listen to Millennials to mutually develop a view of organizational needs that will continue to improve American prosperity and stability. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Chapter-One-Audiobook/B01H43W5MQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Chapter One Subtitle: You Have the Power to Change Stuff Author: Daniel Flynn (Co-founder Thankyou) Narrator: Daniel Flynn Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-16 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: The world probably doesn't need another book. And while this might seem like one, it's so much more. It's an invitation. And it's addressed to you. To inspire you to challenge everything, to remind you that you can turn ideas into reality and to give you the opportunity to be part of a bold idea that could change the course of history. Chapter One is the story of three kids from Melbourne, Australia, with zero experience in business, who had an idea and the crazy belief that we all have the power to change stuff. It started with the world water crisis (and how to end it) but has developed into an award-winning consumer goods brand that empowers millions of people to fight poverty with every munch of muesli, sip of water or pump of hand wash. Challenge your thinking. And that's just the beginning. This is the story of epic proportions by Thankyou co-founder Daniel Flynn about Thankyou's gut-wrenching decisions, wild mistakes and daring moves in business, marketing and social enterprise so far. You'll laugh at their boldness, cry at their failings and be inspired by their determination. But more than that, you'll understand that no matter your walk of life, you too have the power to change stuff. Members Reviews: Inspiring, refreshing, and unexpected. I was generally familiar with the Thankyou story. As such I thought this would be a good read, but I didnt expect to be challenged in my thinking quite this way. A brilliantly compiled narrative, managing to both inspire the reader (or listener) to dream big, while also being ok with starting small and being ok with imperfection. Very needed. Amazing! Incredible! Inspiring! This book has changed my life! What these guys have achieved and are working towards makes the world a better place! Do stuff that matters. A book about making a difference by by being different. Not simply a "how to" book from someone who has made it, but a "why to" book by someone who is still making it. Thankyou, awesome company! Get to the UK ASAP Better off buying book but that's tricky from UK. Good story. Not such a fan of self help side but I never am I love this true story Daniel captives you with his personal why and the first chapter, of what I hope will be a long story. It encourages me to find mine. Worth every cent of my investment of chapter one and thankyou products. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Mark-Goulston-on-Just-Listen-Audiobook/B016V0XTJQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He advocates for very small business development, as in micro-business small.

Well I haven't got through the first half of it, but it's driving me nuts. If I hear the words "App Millionaire" one more time... I'm only dissappointed you can't throw an audiobook across the room like you can a regular book. It reads like a bad info-mercial "You too can be an app millionaire but it takes hard work and be organized...bla bla bla... If you're that kind of person you can be an app millionaire (tm)... That far into the book and literally NOTHING that will actually help you start a business based on mobile applications. Less fluff and more meat. And stop saying "App Millionaire." It's not a witty catch-phrase. After the first 20 times or so... It's like fingernails on a chalk board. What was most disappointing about Greg Shealeys story? I don't care about your dad's business. I don't care about how you moved from construction contracting to application development. --actually I might be interested in "how" but so far all I'm hearing is "that" you did. I don't need to know what apps are, or that they're "revolutionary" beyond a really short introduction paragraph. So far the only "how" you have in the first third of the book is that you drew out on paper what you wanted your first app to do then hired someone to make it. Gee I would have never thought of that! What I DID want to know was something that would help me with ideas I might not have thought of... not "be organized" and "work hard" with long drawn out anecdotes to support those obvious-isms. I find the book patronizing and devoid of any real substance with the words "App Millionaire" thrown in ad nauseum. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Journey-to-Enterprise-Agility-Audiobook/B072WB7QG7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Journey to Enterprise Agility Subtitle: Systems Thinking and Organizational Legacy Author: Daryl Kulak, Hong Li Narrator: Daryl Kulak Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 06-22-17 Publisher: Daryl Kulak and Hong Li Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: A guide to navigating the messiness of software development process change, dealing with all the legacy organizational elements, and focusing on increasing business agility. There are lots of enterprise Agile frameworks - SAFe, NEXUS, LeSS, DAD, GROWS, Lean Enterprise, Modern Agile, and many others. They are all pretty good. But they all miss one important factor: how the heck do you get there? They describe perfect little "cities on the hill" but they don't give advice as to what to do when the program management office (PMO) cracks down on your status reporting, or when enterprise architecture wants yet another review of your design diagrams. The Journey to Enterprise Agility is about just that - the journey. Lots of things can slow or stop an Agile transformation. But that doesn't mean these legacy groups are evil or even have bad intentions. They have their jobs to do. Your transformation effort needs to accommodate their needs as well as your own. To do this in a structured way, we use concepts and principles from the world of systems thinking. And not the systems thinking of Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing, but a different school called "soft systems thinking" that is most helpful in dealing with problems of people and perspectives. Think of this book as a guidebook to working on all the complicated, messy problems of changing software process in an enterprise. The Agile teams will first need to adapt to the legacy groups around them. And then later, the legacy groups can work on transforming themselves, morphing into something more nimble that can help to produce business value faster and more reliably than the old waterfall processes. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Daryl Kulak) Thu, 22 Jun 2017 20:35:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Journey-to-Enterprise-Agility-Audiobook/B072WB7QG7 thebookvoice.com 11:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Powerful approach to "Why?" Agile The authors truly have lived and breathed Agile and take the approach in the book of discussing the "Why" instead of focusing on the all-to-often trap of best practices. The approach embodies it's own message and I've already shared it with those on my current project. mostly excellent aside from a few misgivings about lean and how it's used in software delivery, I found this book to be spot-on with excellent research and insight. Great insight into enterprise level, modern problems Having really enjoyed Phoenix Project (PP) I had high expectations on this. Where as PP covered a revolution in the company from a story view this book addressed many such issues and others from real life experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Peter-Theils-Zero-to-One-Audiobook/B01CPKXHJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For a summary, there's a lot to work with here. Who was your favorite character and why? Ant Hive Media generally does a good job hitting the major book highlights. I've enjoyed listening to these summaries in my car. What does Dominic Carlos bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator is fair and acceptable - he gets the information across but lacks vocal enthusiasm. Any additional comments? Overall, I generally really enjoy these audio book summaries - they are professional, they get to the point and if I like what I hear, I often then purchase the full book for more in depth knowledge. For the price, you can't go wrong. Abject Very poorly written, almost non-sensical. Narrator struggled with bad material. The writer snuck in a line about how "taking a dump" is the most productive thing he does each day. On the evidence presented here, I cannot disagree. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Eyes-Wide-Open-Audiobook/B00EO2WTN6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this eye-opening handbook, the internationally noted speaker, economics expert, and bestselling author of IOU: The Debt Threat and Silent Takeover reveals the extent to which the biggest decisions in our lives are often made on the basis of flawed information, weak assumptions, corrupted data, insufficient scrutiny of others, and a lack of self-knowledge. To avert such disasters, Hertz persuasively argues, we need to become empowered decision-makers, capable of making high-stakes choices and holding accountable those who advise us.

Members Reviews: Eye opening The brain is a complex decision making machine that is obsessed with safety, survival and short-term gratifications. The thousands of decisions we make each day depend on how we perceive and process information. What we don't realize is the tremendous imprecision and uncertainty around how we perceive and process. The decision maker within us isn't a rational utilitarian, but is an ignorant limited tool vulnerable to biases, misjudgments and greed. I wish I knew this thirty years ago. I am glad I know it now, thanks to Professor Hertz's groundbreaking book, Eyes Wide Open. In an engaging compassionate voice, Professor Hertz shares the realities of the human condition. In a deeply personal way, she points to the data deluge, distraction and disorder that challenge our brain's medieval mechanisms. She uncovers the fallacy of relying on experts or trusting the trend. The book clearly shows the breadth of her experience and penetrating insight, that is matched with eloquence and simplicity of expression. Although the pace slowed a bit in the last one third of the book, overall the book gave me a 'flow' experience. This isn't the first book I have read that tackles the topic of decision making and cognitive biases. But this is the first one that in ten simple steps offers me practical real world advice that I find relevant for most aspects of my life - right from how to raise our girls, to pursuing my life's calling. I know my decision to hear Professor Hertz's message will positively influence several of my future decisions. I wish the same for you. Amit Sood MD MSc FACP Professor of Medicine Embrace Dissent As a consultant, the final section on embracing dissent, shaking things up was valuable confirmation of what I come across in the emerging technology, start-up world. No one likes to hear they are wrong or going in the wrong direction, or listens to differing viewpoints that donât confirm theirs. There were worthwhile ideas that can be used to gain and maintain a competitive advantage for organization. We need to get honest feedback; we need to listen to them and appreciate its value. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Ultimate-Sales-Managers-Guide-Audiobook/B01EVUAZRW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Extraordinary Outcomes presents an innovative approach to thinking and planning, giving leaders a playbook for dealing with uncertainty. Written by internationally recognized authorities on problem solving and creativity in organizations, this audiobook provides an alternative outlook on business strategy and people management for leaders navigating uncertain waters, where the future is anything but guaranteed. The framework is the result of research in multiple fields and the authors' experiences with individuals, teams, and organizations, with examples from real-world situations that illustrate the concepts and dynamics at work to give listeners deeper insight. The focus is on conquering uncertainty - eliminating it where possible, reducing it where it can be reduced, and embracing it when it's inevitable.

Discover how to better galvanize the team, and keep them motivated long-term. Connect to a purpose that inspires enthusiastic engagement. Conquer uncertainty, and develop a strategy for dealing with mistakes. No one likes to be caught off guard, and the consequences can be severe at the organizational level.

Good ideas for leaders. Just not unique I enjoyed the listen. It didn't take me long. I liked the ideas for how to enable teams and influence others. I just found I was running into a lot of material on bias and mindfulness that is better covered elsewhere. Cover design is the best part Have struggled to separate my negative response to this book into aspects of content and performance - and I think the two belong together. In contrast to the insightful books on similar territory - e.g. that by Achor - most of this material feels trite, well worn and, at times, even patronising. I have been determined to find good stuff in a book on a topic with such relevance (to just about everyone) and promise but, sadly, am about to dive out half way through. But I still like the cover... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-E-Myth-Enterprise-Audiobook/B002V1AH2W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Gerber has done one great book E-myth Revisited, it is great, if you have a start up business read it. This, gets him some money and I don't mind too much as his first book was sooooo good. But really, don't bother unless you are looking for some crumb of inspiration, of which I guess there are a few. Did I mention his other book was great. If you Own a business - then this is the only path If you Own a business - then this is the only path. Thank you Michael for everything! loved loved loved it! very genuine and from the heart from many years of struggles and persistence. I will listen to it several more times probably. Didn't like as much I'm a fan of Emyth but this book was not that good. Not his best work! Very disappoint The audio book was philosophical rhetoric that didn't have supporting validation or research. It was more like a manifesto. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Agile-Product-Management-Product-Backlog-Audiobook/B01F7KUYEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

They also provide advices and evidence against fears and prejudices that many Westerners may have about China. This book changed my vision of China's history and future in an optimistic way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/VangoNotes-for-Management-9-e-Audiobook/B003NH8KBS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not recommended The life of today's college student is tough. Between working full-time and being a full-time student, my time is precious. This is the entire reason to supplement actual studying with on-the-go notes. As such, I felt that these notes were not very useful. It provided neither a complete and useful summary nor review questions that would either lend to increased understanding or would take the edge off of in-test surprises. I still earned an A, but I felt that this work had little to do with my success. Don't lump all VangoNotes in with this work though; I have used others that succeeded. Time Maximizer Although this audio companion may sound like it is being read, it is a powerful tool. I played it on my iPod about 3 times, listened to my teacher's lecture and was given a take home test where I could use only my notes. I didn't need them at all. I finished the test in the parking lot while waiting for my car to warm up. The chapters are split up into 4 sections which you can easily nagigate through - one is the big picture, equivalent to the summary at the end of a chapter that uses all the key vocabulary from the text. The other three sections quiz you - the second section quizes you on the big ideas, the third gets a bit more detailed and helps clarify gray/overlapping areas and the forth section is rapid review. If you don't believe this is worth it you can download just the first chapter, but I can almost guarantee you that you will end up purchaseing the whole thing. It's a major time saver, especially if your time is precious and you commute. Proceed with caution... What would have made VangoNotes for Management, 9/e better? As the name implies, these are merely notes for the book. You will still need the book, and you'll need to read it, because these notes don't even provide a cursory review of the information contained therein. These notes are of very little independent value. What was most disappointing about Stephen P. Robbins and Mary Coulter s story? Each chapter review provides an "overview" and then 3 consecutive (and often repetitive) "reviews" which are essentially a series of quizzes. The initial overview often doesn't cover more than half of the information contained in the quizzes that follow, which makes whole portions of those quizzes irrelevant. And, while the quizzes ask some detailed questions about the information in the chapter, they are almost all true/false or provide you with the choice between a probable answer and a silly/improbable answer. They don't actually seem to engage any mental muscle, and they don't even cover relevant information. What didnt you like about the narrators performance? The narration gets very repetitive. Each chapter quiz begins with an explanation that it is, in fact, a quiz. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Project-Manager-Training-System-Audiobook/B01KG4ILH8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Toxic Workplace! Subtitle: Managing Toxic Personalities and Their Systems of Power Author: Mitchell Kusy, Elizabeth Holloway Narrator: Vanessa Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: "The day this person left our company is considered an annual holiday!" This quote, taken from Kusy and Holloway's research on toxic personalities, echoes the frustration and confusion that come from working with or managing an extremely difficult person. Just one toxic person has the capacity to debilitate individuals, teams, and even organizations. Toxic Workplace! is the first book to tackle the underlying systems issues that enable a toxic person to create a path of destruction in an organization, pervading others' thoughts and energies, even undermining their very sense of well-being. Based on all-new research with over 400 leaders, many from the Fortune 500 list, this book illustrates how to manage existing toxic behaviors, create norms that prevent the growth or regrowth of toxic environments, and ultimately design organizational communities of respectful engagement. Kusy and Holloway's research reveals the warning signs that indicate a serious behavioral problem and identifies how this toxicity spreads in systems with long-term effects on organizational climate, even after the person has left. Their two-year, cutting-edge research study provides very specific actions that leaders need to take to reduce both the intensity and frequency of toxic personalities at work. No other book provides this menu of options from a systems perspective with practical relevance in real work situations. You'll learn how to identify the toxic personality and describe the leader reactions and approaches that typically don't work. Toxic Workplace! provides hands-on approaches that work with research-based strategies at the individual, team, and organizational level. Toxic Workplace! will provide new insights on how leaders lead, how organizational cultures sustain themselves, and how teams deal with toxic personalities. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mitchell Kusy) Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:25:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Toxic-Workplace-Audiobook/B00A2A6WQY thebookvoice.com 06:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Targeted at those that can make changes The narrator is the one redeeming factor for this book. She sounds like Kathleen Turner. It's strange to have this husky voice reading the book, but it makes the content more engaging. The first half of the book is more useful for general employees, but it does not offer ways for individuals to make change. It is depressing because you find yourself nodding your head at the examples and saying, "yes yes, I have worked what someone like that" or "yes yes I have done that to avoid that person" but you aren't offered a way to change. The second half of the book is geared toward leaders and HR professionals. I am not one of those people. The discussion about creating corporate values makes me roll my eyes. It isn't as useful for existing companies...especially those that are part of a big multi-national corporation. I found that I wished my old bosses would have read this book and taken its points to heart. I am one of the people the book talks about who leaves a job to escape toxic individuals. I am that heightened turnover. If only my bosses had read this book. And that's the problem with this book. It leaves you frustrated if you have no ability to change the work environment. As an aside, the book acknowledges that there are psychological issues that may be driving behavior. Many of the individuals that are described could be categorized as borderline or sociopaths. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Business-Models-Explained-Audiobook/B012P3ZM3O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I've been doing a lot of learning about business lately, mostly through this author's books. Some of it is stuff I will use and some of it is stuff I won't but it kind of makes me feel smarter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Work-Happy-Audiobook/B0085OPFYO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For those who are new to management, this is a great book to read and learn. To others it is still a great book as a reminder of what is important for happy working environment. The book touches all aspects of managerial daily life, from you, to staff, to culture, to managing up, etc. I am grateful that I came across this book and highly recommend. Monotone What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Surely a better reader could have been used Great subject but too hard to listen to Would you ever listen to anything by Jill Geisler again? Doubtful Did the narration match the pace of the story? Monotone slow You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Subject matter is great - maybe it one of those you need the hardback Missed having lists and quotes on pages Still worth the listen. Learned a lot. Helped me even more second time that I listened. The reader was enthusiastic. Better as a hard copy Useful information and covers a broad range of topics, but uses a lot of bulleted lists and self assessment tests, they don't lend themselves to an audio book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/El-manager-puntual-y-certero-The-On-Time-On-Target-Manager-Audiobook/B076CW4RM6 Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> Título: El mánager puntual y certero [The On-Time, On-Target Manager] Subtitular: Cómo un 'mánager de último minuto' conquistó la postergación [How a "Last-Minute Manager" Conquered Procrastination] Autor: Ken Blanchard Narrador: Horacio Mancilla Formato: Unabridged Duración: 2 hrs and 16 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 10-24-17 Editor: HarperCollins Español Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Business, Management Resumen del editor: Los magníficos libros best seller de Ken Blanchard, como El nuevo mánager al minuto y Raving Fans, lo han convertido en una leyenda mundialmente reconocida en el mundo de los negocios.

Title: Trade-Off Subtitle: Why Some Things Catch On, and Others Don't Author: Kevin Maney Narrator: Dennis Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Why did the RAZR ultimately ruin Motorola? Why does Wal-Mart dominate rural and suburban areas but falter in large cities? Why did Starbucks stumble just when it seemed unstoppable? The answer lies in the ever-present tension between fidelity (the quality of a consumers experience) and convenience (the ease of getting and paying for a product). In Trade-Off, Kevin Maney shows how these conflicting forces determine the success, or failure, of new products and services in the marketplace. He shows that almost every decision we make as consumers involves a trade-off between fidelity and convenience between the products we love and the products we need. Rock stars sell out concerts because the experience is high in fidelity - it cant be replicated in any other way, and because of that, we are willing to suffer inconvenience for the experience. In contrast, a downloaded MP3 of a song is low in fidelity, but consumers buy music online because its super convenient. Products that are at one extreme or the other - those that are high in fidelity or high in convenience - tend to be successful. The things that fall into the middle-products or services that have moderate fidelity and convenience fail to win an enthusiastic audience. Using examples from Amazon and Disney to People Express and the invention of the ATM, Maney demonstrates that the most successful companies skew their offerings to either one extreme or the other - fidelity or convenience -i n shaping products and building brands. Critic Reviews: "[L]ike Malcolm Gladwell in his best-selling books Outliers and Blink, Maney presents a seemingly simple premise and the evidence to support it - as well as various factors that can complicate it."

(Reuters) Members Reviews: No Trade-Offs for Reading Trade-Off A book that everyone working in the educational technology industry should read. Where does your companies products or services fall along the fidelity (quality) and convenience spectrum? Four-year residential colleges are a high fidelity / high cost experience - with bundled learning, living, and socializing. University of Phoenix aims to be a high convenience provider. Maney argues that companies need to choose to specialize in fidelity or convenience, or they will fall into the "fidelity belly" where their products and services are neither loved or required. Expensive products or services (high fidelity) need to be ten times as good as convenient (cheap or free) services to survive. Newspapers gutted themselves by laying off reporters and closing branches, therefore diminishing their fidelity. We all need to make hard choices and trade-offs, and figure out where the product/service we deliver meets the demands for fidelity or convenience. useful, but oversimplified Maney applies his fidelity vs. convenience model across a wide range of businesses. While the concept has merit, in many cases, it oversimplifies the issues. Perhaps of greater value is Maney's discussion about how over time, continued product development is important, lest you get left behind by the new kid on the block. Solid narration. Interesting concept... I think everybody could learn something valuable from this book... What it says could be or sound logical but I believe it is a powerful concept that needs to be considered... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Strategy-Book-Audiobook/B00T8EKC6Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A great tool General enough allowing you to relate to your own situation, and make improvements. As with most books of this nature it must be read again at different points in your company journey or personal targets Good ideas but an annoying narrator Would you try another book written by Max Mckeown or narrated by Max Mckeown? I would listen to another book of his as long as someone else narrated it. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Awful reading style Was The Strategy Book worth the listening time? I did not finish as I got fedup with the narrator Worst audio book Struggle to stay awake!

Mi secreto: tengo un ejército. Sí, un ejército, un batallón; pero no de soldados, sino de gente trabajando en mi proyecto. Personas talentosas y creativas ayudándome a tener éxito. Si quieres sobrevivir profesionalmente en la complejidad necesitas tu equipo de freelancers. ¿Te ayudo a crear el tuyo?

Al final lo haces todo tú y todos los clientes piden por ti. Y además, haciéndolo todo tú y trabajando tanto, no tienes suficientes clientes e ingresos, no vives bien de tu profesión. Como un sueño roto, etcétera etcétera ¿no? Esto es una pena. Es triste que al final uno tenga que trabajar tanto, que tenga que hacerlo todo, y que al final malviva de su profesión y en consecuencia muchos abandonen. Su negocio en realidad no era un negocio. Sí, todos los problemas caen en tu mesa imagino que habrás vivido algunos de estos problemas, por ejemplo: Es habitual para las personas que se emancipan laboralmente, se hacen freelance o autónomas, y entonces se encuentran que lo tienen que hacer todo.

This may be religiously influenced, but often it's a product of the person's personality and experiences. There are certain actions that our belief systems tell us are "right" and "wrong." These are often subconscious. Whether we intend to or not, we take our belief systems with us to work. It is a manager's job to understand the belief system of every team member and its effect on efficiency and productivity. Experienced sales team manager John M. Hanson has written Creating Your Sales Team to help managers identify and classify these belief systems. He categorizes employees' values into six themes: accountability, hard work, fairness and justice, arrogance and entitlement, discipline, and success. By understanding how various team members think about these six categories, managers can tailor their teams to avoid clashes or stagnation. In addition to specific advice on recognizing and utilizing these value systems, Hanson includes information about what to look for in the initial hiring process and how to establish and enforce a company culture that encourages good performance.

In Sell Like a Team, Michael Dalis, a senior consultant at the legendary sales training firm, The Richardson Company, guides you through the process of creating and managing selling squads that execute and win in every sales meeting or pitch. Winning selling squads are fueled by trust. There is an effective leader and every member knows his or her role. They plan, practice, and make adjustments together. During customer meetings, they execute as a unit. And afterward, they debrief together so they can advance the sale, replicate the high points, and eliminate the low ones in future meetings. In today's competitive market, the difference between the winner and all the others is a lean at the tape. There's a world of difference between teams that are qualified and those that win. This groundbreaking guide provides everything you need to create and organize selling squads that win more and win big. Members Reviews: Exactly what you need to prepare for client meetings and sell collaboratively as a team. From the minute you read the opening, you realize this book is exactly what you need to prepare for client meetings and sell collaboratively as a team. Michael's experience and unique perspective are invaluable, and through his examples you realize the ways in which your own team can vastly improve. If you've ever been in a client meeting where you and your teammates are talking over each other or don't seem to be on the same page, this book will show you exactly how to correct for that and maximize each person's strengths to build relationships and close deals. I want to get a copy for every person on our enterprise team! Timely and a must read for sales professionals The world of selling has definitely changed. The author has outlined a very concise approach to responding to high-stake team selling situations. The book is timely and full of rich insight. As a sales professional, I can attest to occasions when our team didn't follow the process outlined in Michael's book -- the results were not favorable. We all work too hard to find meaningful opportunities to work with potential clients -- having a model and guide to ensure the finals presentation or any team selling situation 'hits it out of the park' is not a nice to have, but required today. Great book! Powerful! What I find so powerful about this book is that it provides a clear process and tools for building a cohesive selling squad that is prepared to win. We all inherently understand that preparation and practice before an important meeting or presentation is important... but this preparation can often seem haphazard or insufficient. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Project-Management-Audiobook/B01N6QRFXV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In A Manager's Guide to EPIC Interviewing, Roger Ferguson, provides exactly what he's promised: to help hiring managers become more effective interviewers and make better hiring decisions. Any hiring manager can follow the EPIC process, with these steps: E - Evaluate needs and priorities P - Prepare five questions that address at least one behavior related to the needs and priorities I - Interview the applicants using the prepared questions C - Choose the most qualified candidate based on the interview scoring When it's simple it is more likely to be remembered and followed. Roger adds his well-experienced hints, tips and advice to ensure that we truly spend less time interviewing, while experiencing more effective results. Why the interview process picks wrong candidates - and how to fix it Excellent insight on the interview process. I actually laughed when I read the title; that is something I have thought for years. Ferguson fleshed out the concerns I had felt from 30 years as a COO of a large construction company: hiring managers often choose hires based on their personal biases, rather than by asking questions that would reveal who would actually benefit the company most. Ferguson fills in the blanks. Easy read well worth the time and money. Lots of nuggets. Do yourself a favor and read this before your next big hiring decision. Wish I had had this years ago. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lessons-Learned-in-Retail-Management-Audiobook/B076VX4PR7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Applicable Business Lessons The info in this book can be applied to your business as well as to your home organization and management! Helps to take into consideration everything involved in how to run a business successfully. Jim Seyberts narration is really good; he sounds professional, believable, and like he knows whats hes talking about, His voice is very clear and understandable, makes you want to listen! I received this audio-book free for an honest review by the author, narrator, or publisher. Thank you!!! If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below, thanks! Really Helpful! This audio had a lot of helpful information. I'm taking some business management classes right now and I actually mentioned some of the information I learned in this audiobook in class. Great narration! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it Informative and Inspirational Business Book As a business owner, I'm always in search of the next great business book that going to teach me something new, or tell me something I've heard before, but in a way I've not heard it before. I'm happy to announce that this book fits the bill. Not only does it tell me things I have not heard before (like the importance of not allowing seasonal dips to get you down), but it also told me things I already knew in a way I hadn't heard before (such as scheduling people well in advance so that they can have a life that's more predictable, and thereby find one less reason to hate their job because they never know when they are working). The author of the book gives a nice, long introduction, which at first I didn't understand, but as she drew me into her background and story, I understood why she recorded it herself. The audio quality of the author's intro was inferior compared to the recording of the book itself, which was rich and professional. But I forgive her for the tinny quality of the recording because it was brief, and the content was great. After the author's intro, Jim Seybert did a fantastic job narrating. He threw himself into the narration with the perfect balance of acting when there was a phrase with emotion or frustration to convey to the reader, and he was great in that regard. Not once did I sense that he was reading a book. It was like he was just telling me the advice, making it up as he went. That's how smooth the reading was. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Marketing-The-Top-100-Best-Things-That-You-Can-Do-in-Order-to-Make-Money-Be-Successful-with-Marketing-Audiobook/B00SROEMQ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Practical, well written roadmap I really enjoyed and recommend the book. It is a quick read and easy to understand and follow. For someone who has read quite a few of the management consulting themed books, what I liked about this one is that it lays out a relatively straightforward map to follow in changing the atmosphere of a business in ways that most people could follow pretty easily. There is no shortage of books describing the attributes that make one business great, or why a specific firm performed a specific task so well, but what I tend to find lacking is a simplistic roadmap that the average businessowner could follow to implement the desired changes. Basically, theory versus practice. It's easy to say company A is great because of a degree of internal pride or credibility, but far more difficult to lay out how someone else running company B can get there, and that is what this book does very well. Not that the tasks would be easy and quick per se, but having a useful, actionable outline is an invaluable resource. Cudos to the authors. Great- for Great Places to Wor There are many books out there on the issue of employee engagement and some are better than others- consider this one in the "better" category. Using their years of research through the 100 Best Places to Work contest each year, they have determined the formula that pervades the best companies for which to work. The use of many examples helps to illustrate their points. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Other-F-Word-Audiobook/B00UVT05AA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Most of us treat it as a regrettable, even shameful, event best overlooked. In truth, failure can be a game-changing strategic resource that can help you and your organization achieve the greater success you crave.

Authors Danner and Coopersmith - with their rare blend of senior-level executive experience, global advising, teaching acumen and cross-discipline perspective - share these valuable new practices, and show how they can improve results across your organization.

Members Reviews: Inspiring and engaging read "The Other 'F' Word" was influential in changing how I think about failure in the context of my own professional and personal journey. In the book, Danner and Coopersmith discuss "failure" by drawing on the experiences of well-known companies and entrepreneurs. These concrete examples enabled me to better internalize and comprehend their sage advice and perspective. Additionally, as someone who is intrigued as to why some companies "verbify" (e.g., Google, Uber, etc. - "Let's google that... We can uber there") and others never see the light of day, I found the book intellectually interesting and compelling. As a budding entrepreneur, I often find myself making mistakes, "failing" so to speak. This newfound appreciation for failure and a deep understanding of how failure can catalyze success has helped me shape my company's culture and my own outlook on work and life. Highly recommend - inspiring and engaging read! The book is very practical, contains numerous case studies ... The book is very practical, contains numerous case studies, questions/reflexions and offers tools to deal with projects and operations. A lot of takeaways for professional and personal life. No matter what you've heard about success, the authors clearly demontrate that innovation and competitive advantage are the result of trials and errors... and that errors are a kind of failure.

Members Reviews: robotic. not well suited to audiobook format What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? could have been made better by being read out with a little more enthusiasm. because this book is technical in its' nature, it would probably help if the person reading it out had a background in TPM or a knowledge of the subject. this is true of most technical books of this nature. What was most disappointing about Ade Asefeso, MCIPS MBAs story? a lot of calculations and some visual items such as the 8 pillars of TPM. doesnt translate very well to audiobook format. The narrator sounds fairly robotic at parts. What three words best describe Christy Lynns performance? robotic. monotonous. uninspired. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from TPM Simplified? not really a relevant question as this book is non fiction and doesn't have "scenes" as such. Any chapters containing equations should be improved or omitted. having loads of random letters read out quickly doesn't help anyone. equations are more a visual media. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/VangoNotes-for-Marketing-Management-12-e-Audiobook/B003NHC6G8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Iâve learned through my career that readers are leaders. In my opinion, just reading a book for knowledge is not good enough, but reading a book and applying the knowledge from the book is what transforms you into an exceptional leader. In this book, you have an opportunity to take knowledge and apply the knowledge to either your personal or business life. The context that arrested my attention was surrounded around communication. The author emphasizes the importance of having the ability to effectively communicate. Now, that may not mean much to you, but as a project manager, you spend the majority of the time communicating your expectations. I approve this message. â A Great and Easy Read This is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who is seeking a career in Project Management. I've been a PM for about seven years and in this book, Bryan gives you wonderful tips that I wish I knew about when I began. Specifically, how to build and maintain relationships with those involved in your project. Being a PM involves much more than pushing dates around in a spreadsheet or Microsoft Project. Bryan clearly outlines what it takes to become a great PM. The real secrets of effective project management The key word in the title of this great guide is the word 'management' because this book lays bare all the secrets to getting the job and then getting the job done well. There's a wealth of valuable experience in this book and the author clearly demonstrates his knowledge and expertise from the first word to the last. The information is so well presented that you could easily apply it to any task or project and make the work so much more efficient. The advice is laser-sharp, perfectly explained and provides extremely useful insights into the real mechanics of project management. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Agile-Product-Management-Audiobook/B01MXXG4HM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Dance of Change [Russian Edition] Subtitle: The Challenges of Sustaining Momentum in Learning Organizations Author: Peter M. Senge, Art Kleine Narrator: Stanislav Koncevich Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-16 Publisher: Olimp-business Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations - despite interest, resources, and compelling business results - can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo. Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon 25 years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, listeners will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges. These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted - an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example - the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives - lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety;" the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company.

Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example - the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives - lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety;" the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company.

Title: The Dance of Change [Russian Edition] Subtitle: The Challenges of Sustaining Momentum in Learning Organizations Author: Peter M. Senge, Art Kleine Narrator: Stanislav Koncevich Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-16 Publisher: Olimp-business Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations - despite interest, resources, and compelling business results - can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo. Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon 25 years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, listeners will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges. These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted - an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example - the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives - lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety;" the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company.

In The Workplace Engagement Solution, David Harder will help you: Members Reviews: âIf you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.â African proverb The problem to be solved is widely recognized and getting worse. The results of major research studies indicate that, on average in a U.S. company, less than 30% of the employees are actively and productively engaged; the others are either passively engaged (âmailing it inâ) or actively disengaged (undermining the employerâs success). There are many reasons and they vary in nature and extent from one organization to another. Add these pieces to the puzzle. First, the results of all major research studies indicate that employees rank âfeeling appreciatedâ in the top three of what they consider most important. Also, companies annually ranked among those most highly admired and best to work for are also annually ranked among those most profitable and with the greatest cap value in their industry segment. David Harder wrote this book to help business leaders solve the workplace engagement problem by finding âa common mission, vision, and purpose with all [or at least most] of todayâs employees.â I wholly agree with Harder that these two are among the main reasons why that strategic objective has been so elusive: First, âEngagement only works as a democratic process. It is futile to expect an awakening when we use the old hierarchical model of pushing leaders to become skilled at drawing engagement out of talent. They will not respond to more manipulation. They need and crave personal involvement and individual transformation.â Comment: C-level executives and other supervisors mull the same unspoken question that almost everyone else does: âWhatâs in it for me?â Also, âWe need to provide people with the skills to break out of the trance [of indifference]. For years, academics, management consultants, and human resource professionals have discussed the âbroken employment contract.â But, as we lost the promises and assurances of the Industrial Revolution, organizations have typically failed in defining what it is that we need to do in order to thrive within the rapid, disruptive, and transformative change we find ourselves in. By extension, much of todayâs talent has obsolete work skills and no new life skills. Consequently, they become overwhelmed in simply trying to keep up with the change. We need to help them close these gaps.â Comment: Harder wrote this book to help business leaders to respond effectively to these and other challenges. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Kim-Scott-on-Radical-Candor-Audiobook/B0767NK6ML Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Art of Napping takes the reader through Franklin's journey in discovering the importance of sleep in a busy world that glorifies sleep deprivation. Backed up with substantive research, The Art of Napping offers plenty of insights about the value of sleep, ways to get a good night's rest, and hacks to reap many of the benefits of sleep (without much sleep) through naps. Highly recommended read, especially for ambitious people who unwisely sacrifice sleep to try to get more done. Sleep more, work better âThe art of napping is the future for a more prosperous and productive world.â This book will make you rethink the relationship between sleep and productivity. Lee draws from a variety of sources and disciplines to clearly illustrate the need for a sleep revolution. A must-read for anyone trying to optimize their productivity (and get a few extra hours of sleep in). a must-read if you are like me. well-written book and a thoroughly enjoyable read. The cultural obsession (or lack thereof) over sleep particularly resonated with me, as graduate school, undergraduate, and now work have turned me into a chronic under-sleeper. This book has allowed me to take the first few steps to change that. def. a must-read if you are like me.

Members Reviews: good framework hard to follow some lessons but pretty good overall for a long book on the future of business. Not a Moonhsot This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Im not sure Scully even wrote this book. It has dense filler and turns into a text book in various places. Be prepared for a dearth of actionable insights. Its feels heavily and while there are few nuggets, this a product pure and simple. Would you ever listen to anything by John Sculley again? Not a chance. Would you be willing to try another one of John Sculley and Stephen Bowlby s performances? Not a chance. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Moonshot!? Remove the disertation on emerging markets. Any additional comments? This is a commercial product. Moonshot! What a great book on learning the strategies to become an adaptive innovator. And knowing that failure is part of success is vital to your story line. A must read! very good! but only scratched the surface very interesting and will performed but there was not much more than high level suggestions. the core concepts were great but it didn't go any deeper than that. overall a great starting point for building a transformer business but I wish this book went a little further! too much self praise could have spent a bit more time telling how to succeed than talking about own success https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/John-Beeson-on-the-Unwritten-Rules-of-Getting-Ahead-Audiobook/B00PVB1KXE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Critical CIO Management Skills Author: Jim Anderson Narrator: Jim Anderson Format: Unabridged Length: 54 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-14 Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: What does it really mean to be a CIO? You sure won't be writing any software any more. You won't be stringing network cables or updating firewall parameters. What does a CIO really do? I've got some bad news for you: CIOs manage. Sure, we all think that we know what that word means, but when it comes down to what CIOs do on a daily basis, what does this mean? At its very simplest, to manage means to make decisions. Not just any decisions, but the right decisions over and over again. That's why the really good CIOs get paid the big bucks. How can we learn to make the right management decisions? Judgment calls are a skill that can be learned, you just have to know how to go about doing it. We can look to companies such as Microsoft to get an understanding of how they go about doing it. However, we need to keep in mind that in the world of IT, bigger does not always mean better. Your company's IT department is built around one thing: information. It's how you collect it, store it, and use it that will determine how successful a CIO you are. This means that you need to be learning from how other companies have accomplished this and you need to be avoiding the mistakes that they have made. Finally, in the world of IT not all problems are created equally. There is a special breed of problems that we call "wicked" - problems that are so big and so tough that all of our normal management skills generally don't work on them. They require a new way of thinking in order to solve. This book is going to provide you with the management skills that you are going to need as a CIO in order to be successful. We'll be taking a look at other firms and how they've dealt with management challenges (both successfully and unsuccessfully) and several new approaches that you can use will be revealed. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jim Anderson) Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:36:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Critical-CIO-Management-Skills-Audiobook/B00HNVSO98 thebookvoice.com 00:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Who Gets What - And Why: The Hidden World of Matchmaking and Market Design Author: Alvin Roth Narrator: Robert Slade Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-15 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: How our lives are shaped not only by the choices we make, but by the choices we have. In many parts of life - jobs, housing, medical care, education, even a date on the Internet - price is not the only determinant of who gets what. So how do the other processes that influence who gets which goods, jobs, university places and partners really work? In Who Gets What, Nobel Prize winning economist Alvin Roth uncovers the global rules of how markets allocate, how matchmaking shapes lives, where markets exist that we may not even realise, and how everything about our biggest experiences - from getting accepted at university or living where we want - can be better understood and negotiated when one understands the design of those matching markets. The distribution of rewards is often unfair, but it's seldom as random as it seems, and Roth reveals just how much of our life takes place in marketplaces, and leads us to a new understanding of who gets what and why. For fans of Freakonomics and Thinking Fast and Slow this groundbreaking book sheds new light on the politics of free markets, and how many things that we choose in life also must choose us. Critic Reviews: "He's perfectly brilliant and everyone knows it. But Roth is also an articulate and witty scientist with an impish sense of humour who can make even the most complicated idea seem so simple that you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. Roth's thinking has revolutionised the design of the 'matching systems'." (Daniel Gilbert, author of the best-selling Stumbling on Happiness) "Al's research on matching is special and unique in the economics field because it not only informs us about the world, but it tells us what we can do to make it better. It is about designing the world, and if I had to pick someone to design our world or guide us through it, it would be Al." (Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational) "In lots of domains Al and his colleagues have improved the way markets work, and made lots of people's lives better as a result." (Richard Thaler, co-author of Nudge) "Al Roth is a brilliantly original thinker, but he has spent his entire career solving real, practical problems. He designs markets, but has thought harder than anyone about the ethics and emotions of the marketplace. What's more, he saves lives. Not in some abstract sense: he has saved the lives of real people, and you can shake their hands, look them in the eye, and hear them tell you how he did it. We need more economists like him."

Title: The Power of Noticing Subtitle: What the Best Leaders See Author: Max Bazerman Narrator: Holter Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: From Harvard Business School professor and co-director of the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership: a guide to making better decisions, noticing important information in the world around you, and improving leadership skills. Imagine your advantage in negotiations, decision-making, and leadership if you could teach yourself to see, and evaluate, information that others overlook. The Power of Noticing provides the blueprint for accomplishing precisely that. Max Bazerman, an expert in the field of applied behavioral psychology, draws on three decades of research and his experience instructing Harvard Business School MBAs and corporate executives to teach you how to notice and act on information that may not be immediately obvious. Drawing on a wealth of real-world examples, from the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, Bazerman diagnoses what information went ignored in these situations, and why. Using many of the same case studies and thought experiments designed in his executive MBA classes, he challenges listeners to explore their cognitive blind spots, identify any salient details they are programmed to miss, and then take steps to ensure it wont happen again. While many best-selling business books have explained how susceptible to manipulation our irrational cognitive blind spots make us, Bazerman helps you avoid the habits that lead to poor decisions and ineffective leadership in the first place. His book provides a step-by-step guide to breaking bad habits and spotting the hidden details that will change your decision-making and leadership skills for the better, teaching you to: pay attention to what didnt happen; acknowledge self-interest; invent the third choice; and realize that what you see is not all there is. With The Power of Noticing at your side, you can learn how to notice what others miss, make better decisions, and lead more successfully. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Max Bazerman) Tue, 05 Aug 2014 23:15:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Power-of-Noticing-Audiobook/B00LPQS1AE thebookvoice.com 06:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: No magic formula but and interesting book The book mainly talks about why we don't notice with very little of the book telling you how to notice. I'd still recommend the book, but basically the book tell you what not to do to miss something. This is hard, but worth reading and practicing. Bad audio and felt the book doesn't deliver what it promises The audio on this book is pretty bad. Not only does the mic seem to go in and out of intensity, but the speaker has a weird cadence. It took a lot of will power just to get through the audiobook on this alone. I also felt that the book highlighted quite a bit about the power of overlooking key concepts - or being too afraid to speak up, but it really wasn't until the end that he talks about how to not overlook things. Helpful intelligent information. I highly recommend this book. It's a great balance between academic information, stories and examples. Highly intelligent. I recommend this to anyone wishing to look at their life and/or their business from a different perspective. The audio is a little uneven but not enough to affect hearing it clearly. Disappointing book What disappointed you about The Power of Noticing? There is nothing new here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Hope-Is-Not-a-Method-Audiobook/B002V8N7KO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Leadership Book - Timeless - Relevant This is an outstanding book for leaders, both military and civilian! I read it in 1996 when it was published initially and found it to be very helpful and inspiring. I am currently mentoring a supervisor/leader who worked with the Army as a civilian for 10 years. When she was recently promoted, to Branch Head, working for me, I gave her this book as a gift. We are both reading and sharing the leadership examples and guidance. This book has stood the test of time very well! Something for everyone who wants to remember what the components of good leadership are and how to apply them. I don't think it was one of the better books on leadership The book received a lot of hype. While it is interesting, I don't think it was one of the better books on leadership. A great read for serious business students I am an XGI who has spent his business career in a constant quest for change. I have been the change agent and now, in senior management, look back on our most recent exercise in Strategic Planning and have to admit we fall into several of the planning traps described by General Sullivan. I think this is so relevent for our company that I am going to buy at least 10 copies for my direct reports. We all spend so much time "tweaking the margins" instead of trying to develop truly breakthrough thinking. This is the best I have read in years. Even if you are busy...still worth your time Excellent book -recommended by an MBA professor and worth your time. While some concepts may seem obvious it is a good reminder and puts them into perspective by demonstrating the concepts via stories within the U.S. military. Hope is Not A Method-Great Book This is a great book. I think it should be mandatory reading for all public officials particularly those in police and fire services. As a Fire Chief of a large municipal SoCal fire department, I found the principles wonderfully helpful. I shall tout the book to others and, of course, the service from Amazon.com is great. I just wish I could retain all the principles; I desire a photographic and instant recall brain but... it doesn't exist. Thank you.

While every new generation has faced its share of disruption in technology, economics, politics and society, no other generation in the history of mankind has had the ability to connect every human being on the planet to each other and in the process to provide the opportunity for each person to be fully educated, and socially and economically engaged. What might this mean for business, markets, and educational institutions in the future? In this revolutionary new book, The Gen Z Effect: The Six Forces Shaping the Future of Business, authors Tom Koulopoulos and Dan Keldsen delve into a vision of the future where disruptive invention and reinvention is the acknowledged norm, touching almost every aspect of how we work, live and play. From radical new approaches to marketing and manufacturing to the potential obliteration of intellectual property and the shift to mass innovation, to the decimation of our oldest learning institutions through open source and adaptive learning, The Gen Z Effect provides a mind-bending view of why we will need to embrace Gen Z as the last, best hope for taking on the world's biggest challenges and opportunities, and how you can prepare yourself and your business for the greatest era of disruption, prosperity, and progress the world has ever experienced.

Please get a professional narrator, I had to skip all of Dan's narration (The authors narrate the book and change every chapter...) Swallowed words, but good content Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The book was worthwhile listening to, as the material is thought provoking and stands one in good stead to understand the businesses of the future. What other book might you compare The Gen Z Effect to and why? I haven't read anything quite like the Gen Z Effect. Would you be willing to try another one of Tom Koulopoulous and Dan Keldsen s performances? Tom's reading was good, although I was disappointed with Dan's reading. Could you see The Gen Z Effect being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? A documentary of the book would be quite interesting. Any additional comments? It is perhaps best to buy the book as a hard copy or ebook, as the material can definitely be used for reference. Great read for leaders wanting to stay relevant The Gen Z effect is about more than just spanning generation gaps, it's about staying relevant through continually learning and challenging your beliefs and assumptions. Thought-provoking The authors being together several concepts you may have heard snippets of if you follow futurist and trends. Well worth reading for any Leader. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Golden-Rules-of-Human-Resource-Management-Audiobook/B00LCE6BFQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found this book to be a huge waste of time. I am the CIO of $2Bil+ company and I read a lot of books on IT management and strategy. This book has way too many generalities and does not provide concrete guidance. The book is a few years old and is starting to be a bit dated in term of some of the topics being covered. 7 hour sales pitch for project management this was nothing more than an advertisement for a self serving industry that has spent the last 25 years convincing management of a solution to a made up problem read at an insanely slow pace. the real problem in IT is project managers and their insane idea that everything has to be a project. could not wait to be done with this book. Kaizen (continual improvement) in business/IT Great listen on the ever changing roles, processes, and technologies in the blended world of business and information technology. Lots of ideas and tools, for implementing and utilizing, a Kaizen (continual improvement) philosophy in to your organization(s).

This is a job that few of us have ever been trained to do; however, the stakes have never been higher. What you'll find inside: Your company's senior management knows even less about IT security than you do. However, they view you as being the person who can keep them safe. If you can accomplish this task, then you will have secured your relationship with the CEO and CFO, if not then they may be looking for a new CIO. In order to successful secure your department and your company, you are going to have to start at the network's endpoints and work your way in. This will involve creating security policies that everyone can live with and performing routine vulnerability management studies. The key to any successful securing of a corporate network is to make sure that only the right people and applications are allowed to be there. This means that you'll need to implement an effective identify management program. You'll have to do the same thing for the applications that run on the company's network by creating a whitelisting solution that ensures that you are only executing the code that should be run. At times dealing with the wide variety of IT security threats that your company will be facing will seem to be overwhelming. However, by taking the time to listen to what reformed hackers have to tell us, you'll be able to prioritize the threats and focus your time and energy where they'll do the most good.

Title: How CIOs Can Solve the Security Puzzle Subtitle: Tips and Techniques for CIOs to Use in Order to Secure Both Their IT Department and Their Company Author: Jim Anderson Narrator: Jim Anderson Format: Unabridged Length: 59 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-14 Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: As though staying on top of changing technology trends wasnt enough, today's CIOs also find themselves being held responsible for securing the IT department as well as the rest of the company. This is a job that few of us have ever been trained to do; however, the stakes have never been higher. What you'll find inside: Your company's senior management knows even less about IT security than you do. However, they view you as being the person who can keep them safe. If you can accomplish this task, then you will have secured your relationship with the CEO and CFO, if not then they may be looking for a new CIO. In order to successful secure your department and your company, you are going to have to start at the network's endpoints and work your way in. This will involve creating security policies that everyone can live with and performing routine vulnerability management studies. The key to any successful securing of a corporate network is to make sure that only the right people and applications are allowed to be there. This means that you'll need to implement an effective identify management program. You'll have to do the same thing for the applications that run on the company's network by creating a whitelisting solution that ensures that you are only executing the code that should be run. At times dealing with the wide variety of IT security threats that your company will be facing will seem to be overwhelming. However, by taking the time to listen to what reformed hackers have to tell us, you'll be able to prioritize the threats and focus your time and energy where they'll do the most good. This audiobook has been created in order to provide you with a great start. Members Reviews: Bad tittle Just a short view of IT security. Doesn't make big difference tome, even been a beginning at security IT field. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Instant-MBA-Audiobook/B011D8UXJ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The way work should be Cali and Jody capture and teach the essence of what your life's work should and can be. They turn face-time into a four letter word and ask companies to measure what outcomes I do, not when or where I do the role I am paid for. Farmers like my dad would be proud we finally got back to this! Few ideas in too many words This book could much shorter. ROWE is a manifesto. For managers also. There is no need to tell the same over and over again.

Title: Summary: Tetlock and Gardner's Superforecasting Summary: The Art and Science of Prediction Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Don Moffit Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Management Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of Tetlock and Gardner's New York Times best seller: Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight, and Tetlock has spent the past decade trying to figure out why. What makes some people so good? And can this talent be taught? In Superforecasting, Tetlock and coauthor Dan Gardner offer a masterwork on prediction, drawing on decades of research and the results of a massive, government-funded forecasting tournament. The Good Judgment Project involves tens of thousands of ordinary people - including a Brooklyn filmmaker, a retired pipe installer, and a former ballroom dancer - who set out to forecast global events. Some of the volunteers have turned out to be astonishingly good. They've beaten other benchmarks, competitors, and prediction markets. They've even beaten the collective judgment of intelligence analysts with access to classified information. They are "superforecasters". In this groundbreaking and accessible book, Tetlock and Gardner show us how we can learn from this elite group. Weaving together stories of forecasting successes (the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound) and failures (the Bay of Pigs) and interviews with a range of high-level decision makers, from David Petraeus to Robert Rubin, they show that good forecasting doesn't require powerful computers or arcane methods. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ant Hive Media) Thu, 26 May 2016 06:30:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Summary-Tetlock-and-Gardners-Superforecasting-Summary-The-Art-and-Science-of-Prediction-Audiobook/B01G63TPDM thebookvoice.com 00:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/833/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the case of the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, an American League championship happens - the culmination of one of the greatest turnarounds in baseball history.

The Extra 2% is a captivating book if you love baseball, but it's an even more captivating book if you love success." (Joe Posnanski, senior writer, Sports Illustrated) "The Tampa Bay Rays - with their ma-and-pa-sized budget - have gone head to head with baseball's two superpowers, the Yankees and the Red Sox. In the superb The Extra 2%, Jonah Keri explains how and why in a way that will remind readers of Michael Lewis's Moneyball." (Buster Olney, senior writer, ESPN The Magazine) "All baseball fans ever ask for is hope: hope not only for a season out of their dreams, but also for leaders smart enough and imaginative enough to figure out how to make those dreams reality.

By far the best chapter is the one on the skipper Joe Madden...the rest of the book doesn't stand the test of time. Disappointing. Interesting book, lousy narrator Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Great for baseball fans who enjoy behind-the-scenes and front-office narratives. Would you be willing to try another one of Lloyd Jamess performances? No. Any additional comments? This book really needed a narrator who is at least a little familiar with baseball. Mispronounced names are jarring -- Tom GlaVINE, Cory Little (Lidle) a handful of others. Unforgivable is One to zero (game scores), Nine to six (a pitcher's 9-6 won-loss record) and three to two (a 3-2 pitch count). Not isolated instances, but constants throughout. Informative Story, but Narration Was Lacking I enjoy Mr. Keri's writing, but frequently, the narrator mispronounced common baseball names, like Tom Glavine (he pronounced it Gla-VINE). Though the performance was good, these errors took away from my enjoyment as the narrator did not know the subject matter.

This was written for recruiters but any manager of even a small company needs to learn 3/4 of this information to save years of making bad decisions.
