Great for coaches

I read this so i could encourage my son's high school basketball coach who seem to yell and belittle his team. It was a good read which lead to me buying the book to give to his coach. I hope he reads it>

Very Disappointing

This book is so much verbal trash. Within minutes I was wishing Audible had a refund policy. There are countless free titles that are a better use of your "reading" time.

Title: The Trustworthy Leader

Subtitle: Leveraging the Power of Trust to Transform Your Organization

Author: Amy Lyman

Narrator: Vanessa Hart

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-08-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

How leaders from the best workplaces build trust in their organizations.

The Trustworthy Leader reveals the benefits organizations enjoy when trustworthy behavior is practiced consistently by their leaders. Drawing from examples from the best companies to work for, Lyman, cofounder of Great Place to Work Institute, explains that being trustworthy means that leaders' behaviors are rooted in their commitment to the value of trust and not simply in an imitation of the practices of others. She identifies six elements that reflect a leader's trustworthiness: honor, inclusion, engaging followers, sharing information, developing others, and moving through uncertainty to pursue opportunities.

This book offers a key to developing high levels of trust, a critical endeavor in an age when seemingly every day a story of a leader's lapse in ethical behavior makes headlines.

Title: Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders

Subtitle: The Three Essential Principles You Need to Become an Extraordinary Leader

Author: Rajeev Peshawaria

Narrator: Sean Runnette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-11

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

How did Alan Mulally - an outsider to the auto industry - lead such a spectacular turnaround at Ford? How did Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack keep his company from imploding even as Lehman Brothers collapsed? What is it that enables such extraordinary leaders to galvanize their talents and energy, as well as the talents and energy of those who work for them, to achieve superior performance no matter what challenges they face?

Rajeev Peshawaria has spent more than 20 years working alongside top executives at Fortune 500 companies and training them in leadership. He knows precisely what makes the difference between those who are simply bosses and those who are superior leaders, and between those who continue to rise to the top levels and those who get stuck along the way.

In this lively and remarkably empowering book, Peshawaria offers listeners the opportunity to experience the highest level of leadership training available in the world. Introducing the three core principles he has observed are the foundation of the best leadership - that great leaders clearly define their purpose and values; that nobody can motivate another person because everyone comes premotivated; and that a leader's job is not to directly produce results but to create the conditions that will harness the energy of others - he details his unique and proven program for achieving leadership excellence.

Sharing a wealth of illuminating stories, from those of Mulally's achievement at Ford and Mack's at Morgan Stanley, to how Harvey Golub and Ken Chenault successfully restored American Express to long-term sustainable growth, how Neville Isdell turned the Coca-Cola company around, and the continuing prowess of Jeff Bezos in growing Amazon.com, he first reveals how extraordinary leaders marshal and sustain the level of energy in themselves that is required and how they enlist a core group of proficient co-leaders.

Critic Reviews:

"In a sea of leadership guides, this new offering rises to the top with its gripping insights that will inspire reflection and action in leaders and managers at all levels." (

Members Reviews:

Great read for both leaders and individuals

Would you consider the audio edition of Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders to be better than the print version?

Yes - the author in this book, has summarized his vast experience corporate world, into basic, useable and implementable nuggets on how to lead without counting resource shortage or even lack of authority...

Who was your favorite character and why?

The B-B-N model on leading an organization and galvanising energy of more than just self.

What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He reads the book with a lot of expressions, kind of getting used to his style! Like it...

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It took me a few sessions, mostly to be able to absorb the material and not just listen to it. Found it very well written and with examples supporting a viewpoint and practical suggetions with a list of things to look for, at some instances, to be valuable. Overall an inspiring book which makes the reader aware of pitfalls at various leadership levels.

Leadership at its best, need

I love this book and will pass it on.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

If your desire is to create the perfect work environment - where people are motivated, trust one another, and share similar goals and visions - and to establish an atmosphere of hope regardless of what your organization is going through, then Achieving Credibility is the blueprint for you.

In our era of companies that we hear negative things about almost weekly, where leadership is mistrusted and the foundational principles of organizations are abandoned, where the bottom line is the only thing observed, Jim Kouzes gives us a breath of fresh air and hope that you can build an organization for which good morals and values are the foundation and which can be extremely successful. His powerful examples are throughout this program will inspire you. While leadership is Kouzes' main thrust, his themes of trust, honesty, sensitivity to diversity, sustaining hope, and engendering community are skills for anyone who works with people.

With employees, bosses, customers, vendors, business partners, with family and friends ... we need to be credible with all the people in our lives to accomplish almost any objective we set for ourselves. This is a must-listen for all managers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who can't do their job alone.

Includes a special introduction by Tom Peters.

Members Reviews:

Uncharacteristically lame

What was most disappointing about James M. Kouzes and Tom Peters (introduction) s story?

I love everything Tom Peters has written, the intro to this book being no exception. The problem wasn't Peters; it's that Kouzes didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong, Kouzes and Posner have done extraordinary work over the course of their professional lives. And if you've read it, then you won't need this book. It's merely an unorganized, repetitive hodgepodge narrative of Kouzes's ramblings. I bought the book hoping for new insights but this book offers none. I couldn't help but think of the irony of how such a piece of work is discrediting to an author who literally wrote the book on credibility. That said, if you want to understand the topic, I highly recommend the book The Leadership Challenge and the book Credibility by Posner and Kouzes.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Narration was fine.

What character would you cut from Achieving Credibility?

N/A-this is a non-fictional work.

Never rated a book before, but had to on this one

I have been waiting for a new book from Tom Peters, but this one very credibly took its place. This book should be required listening for our children, as well as anyone who chooses to hear a true perspective on how to make it in this world. I can't speak highly enough about the content. If you want to hear the truth, YOU ONLY NEED THIS BOOK. Don't waste your time on any others.
