Title: Good Boss, Bad Boss

Subtitle: How to Be the Best... and Learn from the Worst

Author: Robert Sutton

Narrator: Bob Walter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-17

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Good Boss, Bad Boss was inspired by the thousands of emails, calls and conversations that Robert Sutton received after publishing his best seller The No Asshole Rule. He found that most of the stories and cries for help he received revolved around one central figure in every workplace: the boss.

Sutton's subsequent research showed that the success of every boss depended heavily on how well (or badly) they managed those they worked with. In Good Boss, Bad Boss, he demonstrates this by weaving together the best psychological and management secrets with true stories, revealing the mind-set and moves of the best bosses and contrasting them with the behaviour of the worst.

If you want to understand how the best bosses think and act so that you can get better at your job or find a better boss to work for, Good Boss, Bad Boss has all the answers.

Good for beginners in starting up Business

Usually, the books have good insights but in somehow considered theory. However, this book has opposite direction , it is a pure practical, well organized and short. Anyway, I would recommend this book for anyone who has ambitions to start up a new business and he/she does not have read books in business where this one is comprehensive, practical and brief. On the other hand, I think it is not appropriate for those who looking for academic info or looking for in-depth facts.

Great read for those who wish to start a business

This book is a very good read. It is filled with a lot of practical advice by someone who "walks the talk". It reads like a novel and we follow the author on his entrepreneurial journey with his ups... and downs. As an entrepreneur I strongly resonated with this journey. If you wish to hold your destiny in your hands and create your business you will find there very nice insights and a great energy to help you along this path !

Learn the journey with practical tips

If you want something practical and useful and not the business jargon, get this book!! A great book on starting a business, especially if you want a down-to-earth with a fresh and personal voice. I passed it on to my son who wants to be a business man, he found it very informative.

Creating a company is a dream that can easily turn into a nightmare if one has not has not measured all the expectations, good or bad. This book tells a real story. It highlights the ups and downs, the hurdles one has to go over and provides a lot of good information that can be applied to a variety of cases. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking into entering this type of adventure.

Hands-on & very practical

A very hands-on and practical account based on real-life personal experience on starting up one's own business. Very useful for anyone facing the challenge of embarking on a similar journey. Highly recommended.

Title: The Transactional Manager

Author: Abe Wagner

Narrator: Joseph R. Durika

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: Abe Wagner & Associates

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The most difficult and lingering problems that arise within organizations do not result from lack of some commodity such as money, machinery, materials, time, ideas, or expertise. If we follow a particular problem back to its roots, we often find that it is actually a "people problem". Somewhere along the line, somebody is angry, resistant, needy, passive, unthinking, obstructive, or in pain.

The problem stems from the ineffective way that this individual (or group of individuals) is dealing with feelings, conflicts, and stress. Many organizations try to solve their "people problems" by manipulating commodities (buying a new piece of equipment, putting on an extra shift, adding or dropping a product, and so on) rather than by paying attention to what is going on with the people in the organization. In short, they treat the symptom rather than the cause.

If manipulating the commodities happens to make things go better for the people involved, the problem may be solved; if it doesn't, the problem will persist, or worsen, or simply take another form. Clearly, it would be more efficient to first investigate the underlying "people problem" before investing time, money, and energy in a "solution" that may or may not bring the desired results.

Many of these "people problems" are quite subtle. Few subordinates are willing to be in open is agreement with their supervisors, and fewer still are overtly obstructive. Instead, people "make mistakes", "have accidents", "misunderstand", "can't", spin their wheels, waste time, get sick, fail to cooperate with one another, and so on. Supervisors often cope with stress in these same ineffective ways, and many are unwilling to confront the inappropriate behavior of their supervisees.

Title: Six Billion Shoppers

Subtitle: The Companies Winning the Global E-Commerce Boom

Author: Porter Erisman

Narrator: George Newbern

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-28-17

Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

From China to India to Nigeria, e-commerce is entering a golden era in countries that were long left out of the e-commerce gold rush experienced in the West. If the story of the first 20 years of e-commerce's growth was set in developed markets, the story of the next 20 years will be set in emerging ones.

The rise of e-commerce in emerging markets is being driven by three major trends: widespread Internet adoption, a rising middle class, and, most importantly, innovative new business models that serve the needs of local customers better than the models used by Western e-commerce giants.

Six Billion Shoppers takes listeners on an exciting and colorful journey around the world to visit the next e-commerce mega markets and explore how a new e-commerce boom is opening opportunities for entrepreneurs and global brands alike. Traveling through Nigeria, China, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, Porter Erisman addresses e-commerce across these new markets and what it means for Western brands. He argues that e-commerce in developing countries is revolutionary and will play a much larger role in emerging markets than in the West. With e-commerce in emerging markets entering a rapid period of expansion, Six Billion Shoppers explains how to seize the massive opportunity created by emerging market consumers and provides practical advice on how to ride this new business trend.

Title: Relentlessly Relevant

Subtitle: 50 Ways to Innovate

Author: Douglas Kruger

Narrator: Douglas Kruger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-14-17

Publisher: Douglas Kruger

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

"How are you changing my world today?"

The rules of consumer engagement have changed. Your customers no longer care about legacy - what matters to them is how you are innovating into their world today. The classic "solve a problem" approach that industry giants have always employed is no longer relevant. Consumers want switched-on, creative responses to their needs and desires.

In Relentlessly Relevant - 50 Ways to Innovate, professional speaker and business guru Douglas Kruger explores the field of innovation, reducing its subject matter to the simple starting points you need to become an industry trendsetter. It pinpoints the levers within your own business crying out for innovation as well as the bits you should leave alone at all costs, and it teaches you to change your traditional way of thinking, altering how you relate to your customers' immediate reality. Using examples from local and international brands, this book shows you don't have to be a tech giant to innovate, but you do need to know how to think in the right patterns. This is a business imperative. Innovators of today will own their industries tomorrow by constantly asking, "How can we become relentlessly relevant?"

Douglas Kruger is a global speaker and business author. He helps organizations untangle the unexamined thinking that makes them industry dinosaurs and shows them where all the levers are for real-world innovation. In addition to a score of business and growth books with Penguin Random House SA, his latest book on innovation is titled They're Your Rules, Break Them!.

great book

It helped to shift one's mind to another way of thinking. Very inspirational and entertaining

Ok.. If you're a manager

Some good ideas duty a lot of contradictory information and mainly directed to managers. The book is only part a book on innovation, the rest is branding and marketing.
