Title: Entrepreneur: Doesn't Your Business Depend On It?

Subtitle: The Mental Shifts You Need to Know Before Taking the Jump into Business

Author: Benjamin P Bonetti

Narrator: Brian McKiernan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-27-17

Publisher: Benjamin Bonetti

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

I think it's important to understand what this book is not. This book is not your business bible. I've produced one of those in the past, outlining recommendations on the topics of marketing, advertising, networking, and all things connected to getting started as an entrepreneur; It is not a book that promises to give you all the answers to every question you could ever ask or a book that attempts to condense 30, 40, 50 years of business experience into one short, easy listen, and it will not provide you with any shortcuts to reaching business financial targets.

There are no promises, no guarantees, and no secret formulas, but within this book I share with you my journey and the issues I have encountered through my experience of setting up multiple businesses. In so doing, I share with you everything I have learned, my learnings, and my understandings in a very simple and honest way, and I will attempt to cover all the mindful aspects that are often overlooked or, worse yet, not covered at all, as they can be deemed unimportant or insignificant in the early stages of setting up a business.

By highlighting these aspects now, I'm hopeful that when they come about, you'll be armed with a better understanding. It may not be now, it may be six months, six years, or even further down the line from now, but these aspects will arise and the questions raised in this book will be asked.

However, with this said, not every aspect or question raised in the following book will be relevant to you, but I invite you to listen, absorb, and accept the information being shared. Listen to the unique connections it makes with you and understand that as humans, we are only the byproducts of the knowledge we give ourselves; and the more we know, the greater our ability to act.

Such a great audio-book. I need to get the hard-copy now ...

Such a great audio-book. I need to get the hard-copy now so I can write it in and circle/underline points that really struck home. This book will help you clear the perceived clutter occupying your mind and that is ultimately holding back from taking action. After reading the book, you will have no choice but to start on your business today and isn't that a good thing!

Title: How CIOs Can Take Their Career to the Next Level

Subtitle: How CIOs Can Work with the Entire Company in Order to Be Successful

Author: Dr. Jim Anderson

Narrator: Dr. Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-17

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

It's only after you become a CIO that you truly start to understand all of the things that you don't know. Your technical skills are probably what got you this job, but they are not going to be enough to allow you to keep it. You are going to have to decide if it's going to take getting an MBA to allow you to get a seat at the table with the company's other decision makers.

What you'll find inside:

You want to become more than just a CIO; you want to become a high potential CIO who is known for going places. In order for this to happen, you are going to have to take action. You are going to have to find ways to make yourself valuable to your company.

Ultimately it all comes down to just exactly how much responsibility you are going to be willing to accept. The more that you are willing to take on, the more valuable you will become to the company. However, you need to be very careful and not go too far - the authority granted to you as CIO can be abused and then you may find yourself in a very difficult place.

The CIO job that you have today may not be your last job. If you are going to make a move to another CIO job, then you are going to want to make sure that you do it correctly. The last thing that you would want to do would be to make the wrong move.

In order to make the most of the CIO position, you need to be listened to by your company. This means that you need to be part of the right type of reporting structure. Not every industry gets this right; however, right now the power industry is starting to realize the importance of the CIO and it's a good place for a CIO to be.

Title: The Ruler's Guide

Subtitle: China's Greatest Emperor and His Timeless Secrets of Success

Author: Chinghua Tang

Narrator: Raymond Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-17

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

In the classic tradition of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, here for the first time in English is the timeless wisdom of China's greatest emperor, Tang Taizong (AD 598-649), which will show anyone who leads or manages how to achieve unparalleled results and an enduring legacy.

Tang Taizong was arguably the greatest emperor in Chinese history. In Asia many historians rank him with such rulers as Augustus, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon. When he founded the Tang dynasty, Taizong was only 28 years old, and his chief accomplishments were on the battlefield, where he personally slew 1,000 of the enemy. Ultimately Taizong would defeat the descendants of Genghis Khan's Huns, enact a vastly simplified code of laws, open up the Silk Road trading route, create a golden age of cosmopolitan culture, and, by his attitudes on religious tolerance, introduce Buddhism into Tibet and invite Catholicism into China. His dynasty would last 300 years.

The Ruler's Guide is the first publication in English of the leadership principles modeled and articulated by this unusual ruler, who populated his court with advisors who were required to criticize him on a daily basis. Taizong's dialogues with the wisest of his counselors form the core of this book, which is a manual for managing in any sphere, whether it be government, business, the military, athletics, philanthropy, or even parenting. Here, author Chinghua Tang presents conversations between Taizong and his advisers that explain how to attain self-knowledge, evaluate people and appraise talent, lead effectively, grow power and influence, compete with rivals, listen to others with different views, treat subordinates, enhance organizational effectiveness, practice the art of war, achieve long-term success, draw lessons from the rise and fall of great empires, and craft one's legacy.

An Outstanding Book

I was looking on internet for a book about the wisdom of ancient Chinaâs leaders, when the cover of The Rulerâs Guide caught my attention. The book has a decent price so I decided to order it from Amazon. I received the book and started reading it. The book contains the dialogues of one of the greatest China emperors with his advisers. This book is a jewel, it is well worth reading by anybody, especially a great guide for people holding positions of leadership in government, business, or any other organization.

Five Stars

great book.

A Classic on Leadership, Management and Discipleship

A Classic on Leadership, Management and Discipleship

The Rulerâs Guide unlocks the âtimeless secrets of successâ of Tang Taizong, one of the greatest emperors China has ever produced. His dynasty is the longest, the most expansive and considered Chinaâs golden age. Changâan, the capital city, was so far advanced compared to Europe which was in the âdark agesâ during that period. This book is a fascinating and classic but easy read. The author, Chinghua Tang, presented conversations and wise sayings, and at the end of each chapter made appropriate reference to contemporary times. This book is a classic on leadership, management and discipleship. Much wisdom can be gained from the life, work and philosophy of Tang Taizong.

Title: Business: 3 Manuscripts

Subtitle: Creativity, Innovation, Leadership

Author: Ian Berry

Narrator: Jared Leslie

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Ivan Buric

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The ultimate guide to master the art of making business.

Throughout history, humans have shown their creative side, starting with the cave paintings and reaching as far as modern-day inventions. From a simplistic point of view, we can easily define creativity as the ability to transform a novel idea into a useful product or service. The result of creativity is thus original and worth using.

Creative people can be found all over the world, regardless of their culture, occupational background, or religious beliefs. No matter their origins, they are often defined by nonconformism, openness to ideas, and flexibility. Many studies have been dedicated to discovering the features that make people become creative. Various scientists have come up with the conclusion that creativity is based on the ability to generate original ideas. At the same time, one must be inherently curious and tolerate the uncertainty that surrounds certain ideas. Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, as well as a high-level of confidence, are elements creative people proudly possess.

When people think about creative people, the kind of persons who usually come to mind are artists, musicians, performers, stage and screen actors, writers, and other people who have a huge sense of whimsy. What would you think if I told you that there are also a lot of people in the corporate world? Would you believe me?

It is a common misconception that the world of business is cold and calculated; there is no space in the boardroom for any kind of creative thinking, and this is false. In fact, companies would not even thrive, let alone grow, if not for the creative thinking of those who run them. If the CEOs of major corporations don't have a creative bone in their bodies, then we would not be enjoying all of the perks of modern living.

Title: The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007

Author: Geoffrey Brewer - editor, Barb Sanford - editor

Narrator: Tom Parks, Amy McFadden, Scott Merriman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-14-16

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Since 2001, the Gallup Management Journal has provided leaders with essential insights into managing the human side of their businesses - their employees and customers. This book features the highlights of the first seven years of the GMJ: more than 50 thought-provoking articles with actionable ideas, grounded in decades of Gallup management research.

The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007 could not be more relevant today, as executives continue to struggle with the transition into a 21st century global economy. Many leaders have reengineered and reorganized their companies numerous times. But what remains is the biggest business challenge of all: improving and perfecting relationships with customers and with the employees who engage them. More than anything, executives and managers need quantifiable, measurable strategies for making the "intangible" side of their businesses as productive and profitable as it can be.

For years, "hard-headed" business leaders and gurus have said that it's impossible to measure these intangibles. The GMJ argues that they're wrong, and this book offers proof. Drawing on interviews with millions of employees and customers worldwide, the articles and interviews in these minutes cover topics such as the best way to get meaningful employee feedback, why customer satisfaction is the wrong measure, the 12 elements of great managing, why most advertising doesn't work, and the impact of positive leadership.

A range of voices from within and outside of Gallup is included in these minutes. A Ritz-Carlton executive tells how his company is reinventing its world-class brand, while a leader at Ann Taylor describes how the retailer invests in talent. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman probes how customers think, while one of the inventors of the Internet, Vinton Cerf, speculates on the future of his creation.

With its lively writing and penetrating, research-driven insights, The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007 is essential listening for leaders who want to engage employees and customers in a hyper-competitive and ever-changing global economy.

Members Reviews:

Highly recommended!

This book is well worth a read for those folks who have not already read the many fine books that have come out of the Gallup organization. Other than being just a tad too self-serving for Gallup products, I found most of the articles to be very helpful in giving a solid snapshot of very important topics such as Leadership, Employee Engagement, Customer Engagement etc. As with most Gallup products, highly recommended. Peter Smith, Author, Hiring Squirrels.

Interesting but shallow

Something of a reference book without the detail. There is some great content to be found within its pages, but, for me at least, there was not enough substance.

Certainly the book covered a lot of ground, and I suspect, will generate business for Gallup, but as a stand alone publication, I found it somewhat lacking.

The Gallup organisation is well known for its authoritative, well researched material and this book certainly showcases their strengths but only scratches the surface of many important topics.

Five Stars

Great book. Could be used as a management manual. It's that good.

Best of Gallup

Gallup is a world renowned organization. They have done a lot of homework when it comes to employee engagement and leadership best practices.
