Title: Unfairly Labeled

Subtitle: How Your Workplace Can Benefit From Ditching Generational Stereotypes

Author: Jessica Kriegel

Narrator: Karen Saltus

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-17

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

A blueprint for managing people, not generations.

Unfairly Labeled challenges the very concept of "generational differences" as an unfair generalization, and offers a roadmap to intergenerational understanding. While acknowledging that generational stereotypes exist, author Jessica Kriegel argues that they are wrong - and that it's unreasonable to assume that the millions of people born in the same 20-year time span are motivated by the same things, attracted to the same things, and should be dealt with in the same way. Kriegel's experience as organizational developer at Oracle puts her squarely in the talent strategy realm, where she works to optimize leadership development, team effectiveness, and organizational design. Drawing upon her experiences with workers of all ages and types, she shows how behaviors know no generational boundaries and how to work with people based on their talents, strengths, and weaknesses rather than simply slapping on a generational label and fitting them into an arbitrary slot.

There are 80 million millennials in America, yet there are myriad books on "managing millennials" and "working with millennials" and "the problem with millennials". This audiobook shows that whether you're working with millennials, Generation X, or baby boomers, age is not the issue - it's the interpersonal dynamics that matter most.

Title: The Leadership Sutra

Subtitle: An Indian Approach to Power

Author: Devdutt Pattanaik

Narrator: Avinash Kumar Singh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Durga is the goddess of power in Hinduism as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is derived from the word fortress (durg). She is the goddess of kings. She rides a lion, the king of the jungle and a symbol of royalty everywhere, from China to England.

We tend to tiptoe around the role of power in management and fail to openly acknowledge how the animal desire to dominate often destroys the best of organizations. Critics tend to see power as a negative thing. But power is a critical tool that affects the implementation of any idea. Any attempt to restrain it with rules results in domestication and resentment and fails to energize the organization. Leaders often equate themselves with lions and indulge their desire to dominate when, in fact, the point of leadership is to be secure enough to outgrow the lion within us and enable and empower those around us. But this is not easy, as anxiety overpowers the best of leaders.

Derived from Devdutt Pattanaik's influential best seller Business Sutra, this book offers startling and original insights into the exercise of power and leadership. It explores the human quest for significance, the power of rules to rob people of self-esteem, and the need for stability, even at the cost of freedom.

Title: Business Sutra

Subtitle: A Very Indian Approach to Management

Author: Devdutt Pattanaik

Narrator: Shriram Iyer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

In this landmark book, best-selling author, leadership coach and mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik shows how, despite its veneer of objectivity, modern management is rooted in Western beliefs and obsessed with accomplishing rigid objectives and increasing shareholder value. By contrast, the Indian way of doing business, as apparent in Indian mythology, but no longer seen in practice, accommodates subjectivity and diversity and offers an inclusive, more empathetic way of achieving success. Great value is placed on darshan - that is, on how we see the world and our relationship with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.

Business Sutra uses stories, symbols and rituals drawn from Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology to understand a wide variety of business situations that range from running a successful tea stall to nurturing talent in a large multinational corporation. At the heart of the book is a compelling premise: if we believe that wealth needs to be chased, the workplace becomes a rana-bhoomia battleground of investors, regulators, employers, employees, vendors, competitors and customers; if we believe that wealth needs to be attracted, the workplace becomes a ranga-bhoomia playground where everyone is happy.

Brilliantly argued, original and thoroughly accessible, Business Sutra presents a radical and nuanced approach to management, business and leadership in a diverse, fast-changing, and increasingly polarized world.

Members Reviews:

Love this book!!

This is an amazing read on applying mythology and philosophy into the modern world. There is a lot to gain about life and business. This can't be read quickly, but should be slowly digested. I spent months reading small bits at a time and could see how to apply the principles. I experienced lots of synchronicity and magic while reading this book. It is definitely one of the best and most important books I've read in my life. Om.

Fresh approach to Indian Management

It's a world of metaphors that we have taken up so literally that the whole underlying meaning of it is lost. I am talking of the Indian Mythology that depicts the gods and goddesses as human being endowed with divine powers but soaked in the meagerness of human feelings. There's a reason behind it I believe and the reason is to provide the real world examples of the right and the wrong to us. Hidden within these metaphorical mythological stories is a jackpot of management lessons that can enlighten the most blind of us.

Business Sutra is an eye opening and a refreshing way to teach the managers as to how to manage.

"You needn't look beyond your backyard" is what seems to be the theme of the book is when it comes to Indian teams with an Indian approach. Though I agree that the way we Indians work and expect to be managed is different than the western world, this has long been identified in the "diversification at workplace" chapters of management studies. Nevertheless, the lucid, Indian way of presenting the ideologies of Indian management is what makes this book worth every penny.

Reading this, I have yet another eye opening experience of the gaping mistakes that my managers are committing at workplace and how simple the solutions are. From the employee perspective I realise my share of responsibilities too.

Title: Tension

Subtitle: The Energy of Innovation

Author: Chris Wasden, Mitch Wasden

Narrator: Chris Lyle Wasden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-24-16

Publisher: Scipio Press LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Rediscover and liberate your creative genius.

The challenge facing today's business leaders is how to transform the tension between running the businesses of today and innovating to build the businesses of tomorrow - how to change and innovate while dealing with the relentless and rapid changes buffeting us daily.

Tension: The Energy of Innovation teaches you how to ride the innovation cycle and lifecycle to discover brilliant ideas and drive those ideas forward through all four phases of innovation development to achieve large scale success.

Harnessing tension accelerates innovation and fuels your creative genius.

Becoming an innovator is analogous to biking - we need to ride a different bike depending on the terrain, and we need a different approach during each phase of the innovation lifecycle. Learn how to manage and excel during the Discovery phase, the Incubation phase, the Acceleration phase, and finally the Scaling phase.

In the Discovery phase, we ride rugged mountain bikes built to survive the risks we face as we explore challenging and unknown terrain.

In the Incubation phase, we need a hybrid bike that can handle both mountain trails and roads, so a potentially innovative idea can be incubated to create a prototype and complete a pilot.

In the Acceleration phase, we innovate the business model to ensure commercial success. This requires a road bike - aerodynamic, light and fast to allow you to quickly pass competitors.

The final phase is Scaling, where we apply Lean Six Sigma practices to scale the business and ensure profits, returning full circle back to the stationary bike.

Learn what to do to be more innovative by reading this book

Before I read this book I thought you couldn't teach innovation but now I believe there are principals you can learn and specific practices you can implement in your life to bring back the creativity you had when you were a child.

Great Read!

This is a great book that has helped me take steps to becoming a creative genius.

Overall a great set of tools to add to a business strategy ...

I found Tension to be a very well supported read with strong analogies for the innovation process (both failed and successful). Both the personal and broader industry examples pushed home the concepts and frameworks well. As a right brain thinker it challenged me to think of business strategy in new ways by introducing them in well structured and concise processes that allowed me to adapt to other concepts which are by nature unstructured. Overall a great set of tools to add to a business strategy tool-kit.

I especially liked the case studies that brought clarity to the process ...

âYes there are lots of business âself helpâ books out there and lots of theories on how to maximize innovation. But Tension by Chris and Mitch Wasden is the ONE book that you should read, as it will be your new business bible. In very simple terms Tension gives you a how-to-guide to maximizing your ability to innovate in a productive and realistic manner. I especially liked the case studies that brought clarity to the process of deciding on which âbikeâ to ride to innovate and harness tension to fuel creative genius. Time and time again I found myself reflecting on which stage I was in and which bike I was on (or should be on).

All too often, sales people are promoted into sales management positions with little or no training in how to manage. The thinking is that since they've been on the sales team, they know everyone and how to work with them. Even when that is the case, leading a sales team requires a different skill set from selling.

You'll start to develop the communication skills required to inspire and motivate your team. This includes how to establish winning incentives and rewards above and beyond commissions and how to maximize the time you commit to sales meetings and team building strategies. Implementing the strategies in this program and the accompanying PDF workbook will help you get the results you want from your sales team.

In From Management to Leadership, you will learn how to develop the mind-set of a leading manager, simple strategies for planning and running truly effective sales meetings, and methods for motivating sales teams and individuals.

Publisher's Summary:

Seeing your business through a new lens.

Innovation has become such a ubiquitous value, it's in danger of becoming cliche. Companies frequently talk about it as the sweeping secret to solve all their business problems; however, they often don't know where to start or how to expand beyond creative brainstorming to strategically identify and act upon new business opportunities.

Andi Simon is a corporate anthropologist who has empowered thousands of business leaders to see their companies with fresh eyes, identify their next big ideas, and - most importantly - turn innovative solutions into executable change. In her groundbreaking book, On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights, Andi presents her unique methods for harnessing innovation and revitalizing business growth. Taking readers on a journey through seven case studies, Andi shares how she helped these businesses discover new and profitable growth opportunities by exploring the untapped resources that were right in front of them.

From a medical center facing multiple years in the red to a rural university battling decreasing enrollment to an equipment manufacturer whose award-winning product just wasn't selling - the stories of these seven companies struggling to innovate and grow provide invigorating testimony to the power of corporate anthropology.

Whether searching for a way to revitalize a business or to expand a successful company into new and profitable directions, the strategies outlined in On the Brink will give readers the fresh approach they need to achieve meaningful business breakthroughs.

A Must Read -Whether In Business World Or Not, Great Gift Book

âOn The Brinkâ was a revelation to me. I bought it because my niece is struggling with a start-up business but I thought Iâd read it to ensure it was appropriate for her. It was that and more. It was appropriate for me as well even though I am no longer in the corporate world, I only wish Iâd read this when I was. So much of what Dr. Simon reveals is applicable to your everyday life too. In fact thereâs an emphasized statement early on in the book thatâs worthy of making a little inspirational sign out of which Iâll put on my desk so I see it every day. Dr. Simon is able to step back and guide companies to see the big picture, an indispensable skill. In fact she nets out that skill into two words and one is only three letters! A must read to find out what that is. In the business world or not, itâs an excellent and insightful read. A great gift book for those in your life that work, have a business or simply might like a fresh look on the world around them.

Great insights on how to facilitate change and growth in any system

What I found fascinating about Andi Simon's approach to looking at the factors that keep a company stuck, is that once they were identified, the path to growth was clear.
