Critic Reviews:

a fun and breezy read (People Management, April 2014)

His book is a refreshing antidote to the blandness of so many how I made it big business books. In it, he commends a very different style of leadership to the usual, preferring instinct, quirkiness and chancetaking over the usual managementspeak. (IDG Connect, April 2014)

Members Reviews:

A little thin

What disappointed you about Forget Strategy. Get Results?

Was looking forward to a new view on getting things done... but this book repeats the same idea over and over (put your team in an uncomfortable situation, and they will learn!) and highlights living day to day as a means for success.

Nice and different book

A good book about bold and different approach to management that may not work for everybody. The book has many interesting and inspiring stories. It was a good read/listen.

A very interesting book

I love the author's strategies to make a point that won't be easily forgotten. Brilliant.

Title: A Culture of Purpose

Subtitle: How to Choose the Right People and Make the Right People Choose You

Author: Christoph Lueneburger

Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

How innovative leaders create meaningful cultures that attract and retain top talent.

Building a culture of purpose is one of the greatest challenges facing modern leaders, as today's best minds are looking for meaning, not just jobs. More than any other single factor, cultures of purpose power winning organizations, attracting the smartest, most creative, most passionate talent.

For leaders building cultures of purpose, the commercial pursuit of sustainability provides the most reliable blueprint. While sustainability has been commonly misconstrued as a description of a set of problems, Christoph Lueneburger shows that it is really a solution to problems, capable of inspiring people and forging cultures.Sharing his exclusive, in-depth dialogues with chief sustainability officers, CEOs, and board chairmen, Lueneburger reveals how sustainability works at places where it works best, including Chrysler, Unilever, TNT, Walmart, and Bloomberg. Featuring a clear three-phase process that helps leaders assess the talent needed to develop organizations characterized by energy, resilience, and openness, A Culture of Purpose offers leaders the right questions to ask in order to:

Many books have described the "what" and the "how" of sustainability, but this is the first to reveal the "who." Lueneburger changes dated preconceptions to show that sustainability is not an ideological mindset but a cultural trait of a resilient business. For leaders ready to build and strengthen a winning business, A Culture of Purpose is an education, a revelation, and an invitation to the next generation of success.

Members Reviews:

A Must-Read for current and future leaders

Iâm the COO of a biofuels company, and found Mr. Lueneburgerâs book deeply thoughtful, entertaining, thought-provoking and instantly useful. If you are a current or aspiring business leader, you should read this book for the following reasons:

1) It will show you that your organization, if it is to be successful in the long run, must create a culture that offers more than just âa jobâ to its people. In fact, it must offer a sense of meaning and purpose that will attract and help retain top talent, which in turn will underpin and sustain your success. The fact that your culture must have a clearly stated and compelling purpose is a simple and widely known insight - yet it is rarely acted upon and implemented by leaders.

2) This book will give you a thorough and readily applicable framework as to how to create such cultures. It focuses on sustainability as its main theme, but the framework is applicable to any organization that takes building a mission-driven culture seriously. It will show you what traits, competencies and cultural components are necessary to build highly successful organizations, what to look for when you hire people to build such organizations, and what pitfalls you need to be aware of. It is rare that a book builds on the latest research results in the field, is deeply anchored in current successful business practices, and offers a hands-on, readily implementable framework to leaders that they can apply to their jobs the next day, all at the same time.

3) This book will make you think about what is important to you as a current (or future) leader and how that relates to the culture you have or about to build.

Title: Multiscreen Marketing

Subtitle: The Seven Things You Need to Know to Reach Your Customers across TVs, Computers, Tablets, and Mobile Phones

Author: Natasha Hritzuk, Kelly Jones

Narrator: Barbara Dellenback

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Simplify your multi-screen marketing by putting consumers at the center of your strategy.

The rise of the digital age means that consumers have unprecedented access to information, and they're no longer interested in a "one size fits all screens" experience. Multi-screen Marketing: The Seven Things You Need to Know to Reach Your Customers Across TVs, Computers, Tablets, and Mobile Phones is a comprehensive guide to understanding the multi-screen consumer. Written by thought leaders from Microsoft's Advertising division, the book identifies what drives consumer behavior across devices and digital platforms - sequentially, simultaneously, at home, at work, and everywhere in between. The underlying concept is that marketers need to move beyond a technology feature-obsessed approach, where a device's capabilities dictate one's marketing plan, and instead, focus on the underlying needs and motivations of their customers. This approach can help marketers simplify their strategy, while enabling them to leverage the right screen with the right message in the right moment.

Companies are learning that using the same legacy television advertising and content across all digital media will not help them break through the clutter. To truly take advantage of the unprecedented opportunity served up by the multi-screen world, the authors show how bringing consumers firmly back into focus will ultimately deliver more value for marketers. Listeners will learn how to tailor their approach to most effectively reach their customers through the following multi-screen pathways:

Title: Who Says Elephants Can't Dance

Subtitle: How I Turned Around IBM

Author: Louis Gerstner

Narrator: Edward Herrmann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-14

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

CEO Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.'s memoir about the extraordinary turnaround of IBM and his transformation of the company into the industry leader of the computer age - the great American business story of our time.

When Louis V. Gerstner became CEO of IBM in 1993, shares had slumped and the company was on the verge of collapse. Hired for his successful management of RJR Nabisco and American Express, Gerstner had no background in technology, but during his seven-year chairmanship, he transformed the company into the leading force of the computer age.

In his frank, direct voice, Gerstner recalls the obstacles he faced: the plans to fragment the company, the inconsistent global policies, the stodgy white-shirt hierarchy and inter-departmental competitiveness, and the rapidly declining sales. Within months of joining IBM, Gerstner presented his bold and controversial business strategy. Punitive towards office politics, he revolutionised the company from within, altering an entire corporate culture, divesting billions of dollars in unneeded assets and transforming IBM from a fractured, process-driven business into a nimble, customer-driven enterprise able to respond quickly to the volatile technology market and face down Microsoft and Intel in the Internet era.

Revealing his tactics step by step, Gerstner spins an engaging narrative that takes the listener behind the curtain into the unbelievable mess he inherited and into the office and mind of a CEO facing the challenge of a lifetime.

Critic Reviews:

"Effective, to the point and, thankfully, free of the asinine nonsense that infects so much writing about the hard graft of management." (Simon London, Financial Times)

"A blunt, straight-talking bookrelevant to anyone (including Tony Blair) who is struggling to bring about change in big, bureaucratic organisations." (Geoffrey Owen, Sunday Telegraph)

Members Reviews:

Fascinating view of IBM in the 90's

Surprisingly relevant (even totay) account of IBM's near fatal experience transiting into the internet driven era of the 90's and early 00's. Anyone looking for an insightful perspective of one of the largest, most complex organisations in the world will enjoy hearing Lou Gerstner's thoughts and strategies that helped save IBM from almost certain bankruptcy!

Great narrator and first class production from Audible.

Title: IT Manager Budgeting Skills: How IT Managers Can Request, Manage, Use, And Track Their Funding

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-13

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Congratulations - you are an IT manager and you've been given a budget to work with. Oh, oh, now what? Oh, and if you're going to want any money next year, you had better learn how to ask for more money.

This budget stuff can be tricky. The fact that we talk about budgets using a vocabulary that most IT managers probably don't have (or at least don't use every day) makes it just a bit harder. If you're going to do this correctly, we're going to need to have a talk about what's important and what the process for creating a valid budget is.

The good news is that all of this budget stuff is not all that hard to do. It really comes down to learning how your particular company wants to talk about money. If you can discover the vocabulary and the types of budgets that they like to use, then you'll be half-way there. In this book we're going to cover everything that you need to know about your IT budget. We'll talk about how to use the budget that you've been given, the different types of budgets that exists (and why), and how you can go about requesting more money.

One way to think about your IT budget is as fuel in the tank of your IT team. The more that you have, the farther you can go. Read on and find out how to fill your tank up!

terrible audiobook

Would you try another book from James Anderson and/or Jim Anderson?

no

Would you ever listen to anything by James Anderson again?

no

How did the narrator detract from the book?

the book is only 54 minutes and half of it is just summary of the what was just said so the actual book is less than 30 min. the repetitiveness was so annoying I wish there was a way to remove this book from audible.

What character would you cut from IT Manager Budgeting Skills: How IT Managers Can Request, Manage, Use, And Track Their Funding?

there are no characters in this book just a bunch of babbling useless information.

Any additional comments?

just repeating some general nonsense that has no valuable insight on IT budgeting.

Title: Corporation 2020

Subtitle: Transforming Business For Tomorrow's World

Author: Pavan Sukhdev

Narrator: Kevin Stillwell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-29-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

There is an emerging consensus that all is not well with today's market-centric economic model. Although it has delivered wealth over the last half century and pulled millions out of poverty, it is recession-prone, leaves too many unemployed, creates ecological scarcities and environmental risks, and widens the gap between the rich and the poor. Around $1 trillion a year in perverse subsidies and barriers to entry for alternative products maintain "business-as-usual" while obscuring their associated environmental and societal costs. The result is the broken system of social inequity, environmental degradation, and political manipulation that marks today's corporations.

We aren't stuck with this dysfunctional corporate model, but business needs a new DNA if it is to enact the comprehensive approach we need.

Pavan Sukhdev lays out a sweeping new vision for tomorrow's corporation: one that will increase human wellbeing and social equity, decrease environmental risks and ecological losses, and still generate profit. Through a combination of internal changes in corporate governance and external regulations and policies, Corporation 2020 can become a reality in the next decade - and it must, argues Sukhdev, if we are to avert catastrophic social imbalance and ecological harm. Corporation 2020 presents new approaches to measuring the true costs of business and the corporation's obligation to society. From his insightful look into the history of the corporation to his thoughtful discussion of the steps needed to craft a better corporate model, Sukhdev offers a hopeful vision for the role of business in shaping a more equitable, sustainable future.

Editorial Reviews:

In Corporation 2020: Transforming Business For Tomorrows World, Pavan Sukhdev - a former McCluskey Fellow at Yale University and a longtime Deutsche Bank employee - details the disrepair and fundamental faults that he believes run rampant in the current culture of some of our biggest executive corporations.

Narrated in a foreboding baritone by Kevin Stillwell, the listener is told whats broken with the current business model and the steps we can take to fix it in order to avoid another financial crisis like the one that nearly crippled the worlds economy in 2008.

Members Reviews:

Sukhdev has opened a new frontier on corporate scholarship relevant to holistic human survival, not speculative existence .

There are few comparables to this book. As a corporate lawyer, I feel challenged that corporate scholarship in terms of relevance to humanity has more appeal to economists than lawyers! My learned friends must wake up to this reality if we are to be relevant in the current economic dispensation. Gate keeping must metamorphose urgently to gate openers.

How to make our economical world anew? Pavan Sukhdev ...

How to make our economical world anew? Pavan Sukhdev strong analysis lays it all out in a very detailed and precise way. An indispensable road map for all those willing to think forward.

More than a wake um call

Shukdev demonstrastes clearly the way forward. Great reading. Time for us all to engage into this marvelous, but possible, green new world.

Five Stars

Good Transaction!! Would buy again!

Good thoughts

Economies and markets rise and fall although there does appear to be a greater overall instability in recent times, leading many observers to note that maybe the system is sick on many levels.

Critic Reviews:

"It's relevant, useful and fun to read. What more could you ask for?" (Charles Handy)

Members Reviews:

Meetings will never be the same

If you are looking for ways to improve your work place climate and increase the benefits you and other s receive from meetings read this book.

"It's a jungle of dullness."

The line "It's a jungle of dullness" is a great line from this book, and it is spot on. I work in a corporate office setting and I spend most of my days in meetings. Some I look at the organizer and I am happy to go, others I drag my feet as I walk to them, sometimes pondering if I should throw myself down the stairs to break a leg instead of showing up.

This book "Will there be Donuts" is really a great book that I wish I could get my company to buy and include it in our leadership development course. The book opens up talking about different meeting styles, and I immediately thought about today's lineup of meetings where I have "Lilliput Syndrome" which is where they just aren't relevant to you. The term came from Gulliver's travels and the tie in here (pun intended) is that you go to the meeting, you find it's not relevant and so you try to get up and leave but you discover you are tied down and a prisoner. There are many other styles/syndromes listed as well but I think that one is todays theme.

I really love on page 10 there is a "useful terms" guide and one of the words is "they" and it says

"They are the people who are causing the problems. They are not going to read this book, which is why you will have to do it for the,. They sat in the middle rows at school and were proud of their pencil cases. They are the boring folk.
