Title: The Talent Sutra

Subtitle: An Indian Approach to Learning

Author: Devdutt Pattanaik

Narrator: Sumantra Ghosal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-27-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge in Hinduism as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is derived from the fluidity (saras) of the imagination. Human imagination enables us to invent and innovate, visualize, plan and de-risk.

Yet imagination is a bad word in the world of business and management. It strips us of certainty. We want to control the imaginations of those who work for us, prevent their minds from wandering from work. Yet every human being lives in an imagined reality. Recognizing this enables us to work with talent, build strong relationships and nurture people to face any situation with faith and patience. Failure to recognize imagination is why family owned businesses are unable to manage professionals and how professionally run companies end up creating ineffective, mechanistic talent management systems.

Training, learning and development are not just about skills and knowledge and competencies; they are about appreciating the human animal, recognizing that neither we nor those around us are programmable machines that we can plug and play. Managing people, hence relationships, is key to the survival of an organization.

Derived from Devdutt Pattanaik's influential best seller Business Sutra, this book explores concepts like creativity in the workplace, nurturing talent and the importance of teamwork. It will help employers and managers become more inclusive leaders who are able to carry their teams along with them.

Mr. Goodman is a great example of how to create a giving spirit

The Road to Self became a road map to my own personal pain. Anyone feeling emotionally paralyzed will love reading about Mr. Goodman's journey through life. Pain, sorrow, and loss are sometimes necessary to truly discover who we are. The desire to learn, heal and live go way beyond the things we fear. Mr. Goodman is a great example of how to create a giving spirit. The book is filled with emotion and humor.

Impressed!

I am impressed and inspired by the amount of effort,and detailed information that is shared about spiritual work that we all can do. The truths are made so much more powerful by the fact that John is writing from his heart and not for any financial need to share. I highly recommend this for any one at any stage of any journey....

This is not a book you read just once and set it aside. Definitely not just a conversation starter at the dinner table. I find myself discussing it with everyone even while Christmas decorations shopping with one of my employees. I look forward to more books. It's a must read.

I admire the author and his transparency as he relates in this book a lifetime of wisdom that he's accumulated and graciously shares with the rest of us how he lives in the present and truly makes a difference in the lives of those he encounters. Highly recommend!

Title: Summary of Grit by Angela Duckworth

Narrator: Dean Bokhari

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-23-17

Publisher: FLASHBOOKS

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

This is a book summary of Grit by Angela Duckworth.

Original book description

In this instant New York Times best-seller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed - be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people - that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit".

Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of "genius", Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.

In Grit, she takes listeners into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers - from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.

Not enough examples even for a summary version

Not enough examples even for a summary version - would be better if at least some key examples were used in order to make this audible a little more than just the summary on the cover of the book

Title: People First Leadership

Subtitle: How the Best Leaders Use Culture and Emotion to Drive Unprecedented Results

Author: Eduardo P. Braun

Narrator: Gary Regal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-15-17

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The book that redefines leadership for our time - inspired by personal interviews with Jack Welch, Bill Clinton, George Lucas, Madeleine Albright, Pope Francis, and others.

In this insightful book, former director of the World Business Forum Eduardo Braun introduces a new vision of leadership: the new CEO - someone who puts people, cultures, and emotions first. Through thousands of hours of conversations with world-class leaders, Braun has identified five key roles leaders can use to inspire people to strive for greater success and in turn change the world for the better.

With this refreshingly human approach, you'll find it easy to integrate the five traits into your work and your life. The author shares intimate stories and practical life lessons from CEOs like Jack Welch and Tony Hsieh, who trusted their instincts, followed their passions, and shared their visions with others. Leaders at all levels will learn how to make stronger connections that get better results - and create a culture of inspiration and success.

Amazing treasure box of experiences Eduardo is drawing from

Amazing treasure box of experiences Eduardo is drawing from. Having been informed by so many great leaders, he offers so much in this one book.

The essence and wisdom seem so simple.

The question that remains is, why not so many more people lead by it. Maybe they did not read this book yet ;-)

A must read for every leader

This is a fantastic human approach to leadership that can be adopted to everyday life. It puts people and emotions first to achieve excellence in a respectful way while ensuring a high performance culture.

I had such high expectations for this book, but ...

I had such high expectations for this book, but it fell flat with me. The only point the author seemed interested in communicating was that he has interviewed many, many influential leaders.

Excellent focus on developing passionate employees but overly long

DISCLOSURE: I received a free Kindle ebook.

We are, thankfully, moving from a paradigm where employees are no longer to be considered as disposable and abused "resources" but as emotional "team members" that are essential to business success. Braun writes:

"When Napoleon sat down in Paris with his generals around a table to decide how to invade Russia, they were making strategy. But what makes a million French troops march to Moscow? That is culture."

This book is all about culture, about developing employees by caring for them, making them part of the decision-making process, igniting creativity, giving them authority, supporting their decisions, in other words, putting the people first and creating an organization of inspired, loyal, happy employees who understand and execute the business's values.

Braun: "A positive culture is anything that contributes to the development of a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging and community, an atmosphere of commitment and trust, self-esteem, pride, hope, passion, happiness, gratitude, and, in general, any other positive state of mind in your people."

Interspersed throughout the book are quotes from famous business and political leaders, such as Gates, Gorbachev, Clinton, Welch, Kelleher, Hsieh, Branson, and Giuliani.

Title: Create New Futures

Subtitle: How Leaders Produce Breakthroughs and Transform the World Through Conversation

Author: Aviv Shahar

Narrator: Aviv Shahar

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-17

Publisher: Aviv Consulting

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

This book is framed around two questions: "What creates new futures?" and "How can you and your team or your family co-create the best possible future?" The author has had the privilege of teaching in countries all over the world and helping senior executive teams re-gear and reinvigorate some of the most admired companies in business today. The goal of this book is to awaken listeners to the opportunities presented by their own inquiry about the future and to encourage them to unleash the full potential of their creative power by practicing the art of conversation. Throughout this journey, Aviv shares his discoveries and the strategies and frameworks he has applied to help senior executives and their teams achieve extraordinary breakthroughs that led to game-changing results.

Members Reviews:

An extraordinary read for extraordinary times..

"To arrive at a better place, one must first change the conversation". This book could be the conversation changer our world so needs right now. Beautifully written and easy to read, I was mesmerized by Avivs' extraordinary storytelling. It was truly a rich experience just reading it. The content literally took my breath away as I recognized the power in the processes and frameworks Aviv shares.

Few books have the power to shift perspectives so powerfully. Even fewer also provide a concrete framework for implementation.

This is MUST READ for every Leader and Leadership Coach!

Deep Insights into "What Matters"

Aviv is a gifted business leadership coach. His use of content "portals" is an effective way to deliver a series of rich content that can be consumed (and studied) a single helping at a time. His business insight is right on-target and the window he provides into his personal story is remarkable. An accomplished and successful risk taker, he shares years of learning in helping organizations generate rich conversations which lead to breakthrough results. Well worth the purchase price as both a cover-to-cover read and a specific business reference on focused topics for building and leading winning teams.

Invaluable resource for leaders

This book has become a staple at my company - required reading for new hires and a constant conversation piece in our meetings. Shahar provides invaluable tools for quickly identifying problems, directing conversations to generate outcome-driven decisions, and frameworks for organizing a team to realize a shared vision for the future.

I have spent years having circular conversations in meetings and experienced the common frustration of feeling (even knowing) that we have all wasted time and not produced results. Executives who need to increase the speed that their organizations innovate will find Create New Futures to be an invaluable resource. In this day and age, when we all compete with the speed of the changing business environment as much as with direct competitors, this book is helpful for calibrating everyone's thinking to keep up.

Five stars *****

An insightful and practical guide for creating your organizations vision and driving transformation

I frankly buy more leadership books than I read. I am extremely glad that I finished this one. A great guide to creating new possibilities for your organization.

Worthy Read

Very good little book. Well worth your time

Leadership Theory and Trendy Management Techniques Are No Substitute for Character and Moral Integrity

During at least fifteen years as a supervisory program manager in the federal government, I have been subjected to seemingly endless leadership seminars, books and theories ad nauseum. I shudder to think how much money was spent on seminar fees and materials and weeks and months of training spent away from the office and not actually leading a team and doing something productive. What do I have to show for it? -- binders and notes and certificates that, after gathering dust over the years, were eventually discarded. It was all entirely forgettable.

The government could have saved significant money and man hours by simply investing in a short, readable and highly insightful book by Gordon Leidner: "The Leadership Secrets of Hamilton: 7 Steps to Revolutionary Leadership from Alexander Hamilton and the Founding Fathers".

I have read and enjoyed many of Leidnerâs delightful works about the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. In "Hamilton", Leidner applies his insights into the lives of the founding fathers to flesh and bone examples of leadership. With well woven biographical vignettes about Hamilton and Washington, Adams and Jefferson, Madison and Franklin and others, Leidner demonstrates how men of character and integrity are able to inspire others to follow and accomplish great things. They did this by (1) preparing themselves for the challenges they faced, (2) exemplifying moral integrity, (3) going beyond their own self-interest, (4) establishing clear goals, (5) respecting the people who supported and followed them, (6) conveying an inspiring vision, and (7) being mentors.

All the leadership theories and techniques that governments and businesses have spent billions trying to teach are no substitute for the moral integrity and character qualities embodied and elucidated in The Leadership Secrets of Hamilton.

I am convinced that the current political uproar has one good coming out of it

Gordon Leidner Thank you for such an inspirational book...both of my grandchildren are reading it too....the three of us share a passion for Hamilton the play and I picked it up randomly at a bookstore. I am convinced that the current political uproar has one good coming out of it....a renewed interested in our Constitution and the vision of the founding Fathers. We need to be renewed in our awe of what they accomplished.
