Title: HR Metrics

Author: Barry Wolfe

Narrator: Janien Valentine

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-14-15

Publisher: The Expressive Press

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook is about the stuff you learn when you've worked for a boss you'd swear jumped out of a Dilbert cartoon; worked in a business whose performance careened up and down like a runaway clown car; when you've faced legal or ethical problems that needed the wisdom of Solomon to sort out while they roiled your guts at night; or when you've sat on the stand across from some third-rate Perry Mason, or tried to be one yourself. It's about what you learn when you've knocked yourself out to put measurable six-figure savings back on the company's bottom line; or when an employee pleads for her job with tears in her eyes as she lies through her teeth to your face, or when you've faced down an employee who was spoiling for any chance he could get to sue your organization crippled; or maybe when you've dealt with the employee who told his supervisor he's going to shoot himself.

Like almost everyone else, whenever I've cleaned up some human resources mess - or made one of my own - I would learn something that I tucked in my back pocket, to pull out as needed when something similar popped up. Some people call this their bag of tricks or wisdom. I've always thought of it as my little black book.

Practically, anybody with 15 or so years of experience could have created this book, and surely some would have done better. I guess I just thought of it first. I can't do much about that, but I hope that a peek through my little black book of HR will spare you, dear listener, a few bloody noses in your HR career or shave a few degrees off of your learning curve.

This is a chapter-level book. The full book is available as The Little Black Book of Human Resources Management.

How to Master Your Success

While starting a business certainly allows people to gain control over their financial futures, pure desire doesn't ensure that a person will succeed in business. There are specific skills that need to be learned in order to succeed in business. Many people fail to realize this fact, and this is the reason why up to 90 percent of all new businesses fail within the first year. On the other hand, there are those who are willing to accept the fact that they need to learn how or improve specific skills. People who are willing to learn business skills will be able to be part of the 10 percent of business owners who survive their first year and beyond.

Business skills are required in most careers. From public sector organizations to charities, government to law, industry to media, commercial and financial organizations as well as small and big businesses, the skill sets and opportunities provided by a business learning experience would always be an advantage professionally and benefits with social environments.

Title: Lethal Generosity: Contextual Technology & the Competitive Edge

Author: Shel Israel

Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-07-15

Publisher: Patrick Brewster Publishing

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Lethal Generosity: Contextual Technology & the Competitive Edge is the sequel to Age of Context: Mobile, Sensors, Data, and the Future of Privacy, a critically acclaimed and best-selling book co-authored by Shel Israel and Robert Scoble.

The previous book reported on the rapid convergence of five technology forces - mobile (and wearables), social media, the Internet of Things (IoT), location technologies, and data creating the promising - and the occasionally freaky sensation that our devices are starting to know us better than the closest people in our lives.

The story picks up two years later in Lethal Generosity, where the freakiness has faded and retailers and other public-facing companies are rapidly adopting these new technologies.

This time, instead of technologies converging with each other, these contextual forces are converging with humans in the form of Millennials, the first generation of digital natives. The book examines them as customers, employees, and competitors, and advices companies run by older cultures on how to adapt to this significant marketplace change.

The result of all this is that power has shifted from sellers and brand efforts to buyers who use social media to influence each other. Companies who ignore this shift do so at their peril. Companies who do adjust will flourish, the author argues.

Just what should brands and merchants do: Israel prescribes a policy of lethal generosity. By being kind to your customers at every touch point, you'll prevent any customer attempts to hijack them through traditional marketing.

Fascinating look at Successful Biz Strategies

Shel Israel explores the concept of providing customer centric service vs. business centric service and how that works in today's world.

While the regular practices of business over the last 100 years have focused on how to make the most money by telling the customer what they need to buy...Lethal Generosity is about LISTENING to the consumer and providing them with the best possible solution. Even if that means sending them to another store to get a better deal. By doing that, you lose the initial sale, but gain a loyal customer who will champion your brand.

It was also interesting to hear about some of the technologies that businesses are implementing to make the shopping experience more customizable and helpful. It'll be interesting to see where this beacon tech will take us over the next few years.

Jeffrey Kafer did a great job narrating this book. I kept forgetting that he wasn't the actual writer because the stories sounded as if they were experiences he himself had.

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com.

Bringing Marketing into the 21st century

Shel Israel writes and coins the phrase Lethal Generosity which is meant to explain what companies are doing now to dominate their field and get the new generation (Millennials) to interact with brands. He talks a lot about the different brands that have succeeded and where other brands have failed.

I had never really considered listening to an business focused book on audio (I felt like the typical businessperson driving to and from work listening to an audiobook on how to be better at business). But Im really glad that I did. Jeffrey Kafer provides the perfect soundtrack for this book.

Helpful resource on "blogger outreach"

This was a message I needed to hear although part of me didn't want to hear it. As an introvert, networking doesn't come naturally to me so the idea of "golden rule" of helping others first is a bitter pill to swallow. However, I now feel more comfortable with the idea of reaching out and creating a stronger network thanks to some of the concrete steps the author gives.

The only critique I would offer in terms of content is that the author says "retire to a life of island hopping" way too many times. He makes it more than clear that this is his lifestyle thanks to blogging and networking in the beginning. It gets tiresome when he says it over and over throughout the book.

The narrator was ok in the sense that I could follow what he was saying and his pacing was good. However, his style of reading was inauthentic and sounded like a tacky infomercial.

All that being said, I'm going to buy more books from this author because they're short and seem like they will have similarly useful and practical advice.

Title: The Power of Writing Well: Embrace the Seven Habits of Successful Recievers

Author: Pete Geissler

Narrator: David Wayne Brock

Format: Unabridged

Length: 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-15

Publisher: The Expressive Press

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

"A bad writer has no rights whatever. Any mercy shown to him is wasted and mistaken." (H. L. Mencken, 1880-1956)

I wrote The Power of Writing Well to address everything managers, leaders, engineers, scientists, and others need to be better senders and receivers - not to cover everything they need to know about the language or to be the perfect sender or receiver; nobody is.

The many books on writing and communicating that claim to be everything to everybody fail simply because they are overwhelmingly complex, full of jargon. They have useless labels and distinctions such as participial phrases as opposed to gerund phrases or transitive verbs versus intransitive verbs. Most of us outside of academe don't care, and we shouldn't since they are not relevant to our needs.

This short audiobook condenses the habits and techniques, your tools, that work most of the time for most of the people who write at work and want to be happier in all parts of their lives - nothing more, nothing less. It's also a true and accurate reflection of my 40 years of writing for business and of teaching writing at two prestigious universities and many professional societies and companies. You can trust that what I'm telling you will improve your abilities to communicate and think and make you more productive, promotable, and happy. It'll also make your organization more efficient and profitable.

Title: Public Speaking: Strategies That Worked for Me

Author: Jane John-Nwankwo

Narrator: Steve Ryan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-20-15

Publisher: Jane John-Nwankwo

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

In advertisement, there is something called the "target market." The target market is the specific population that you would like to speak to. If you are targeting employees, let's say you want to deliver a seminar on improving customer service. You need to approach owners of organizations and present your package. It is always helpful to find a friend who has few employees, deliver your seminar first with that company, then have them write you a recommendation letter showcasing your performance. You can deliver the friend's seminar free of charge, just to get the recommendation letter. Also, have the employees (the seminar attendees) fill out a survey at the conclusion of the seminar, collect them and use copies of them when approaching organizations that would like you to speak for them.
