Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Career Development, Management & Leadership, HR & Office Administration

Summary:

Be Your Own Cheerleader is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women self-advocate and self-promote in Corporate America.

The intention for Be Your Own Cheerleader is to help professional Asian and South Asian women—who have toggled between the two very different cultures of East and West—thrive in the workplace. When you are raised in the collective we, it is very difficult to make a name and place for yourself in the individual I. Not only are you unskilled in advocating for yourself, but you are also unsure of how to be proud of your work or accomplishments. Neelu Kaur's analysis of various research is at the intersection of leadership and wellness, offering a cultural, psychological, and spiritual approach to rising as a leader while simultaneously addressing mental wellbeing.

This is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women succeed in the North American workplace. Be Your Own Cheerleader is divided into three sections: Cultural, Psychological, and Spiritual. Each section is designed to give Asian and South Asian women different tools in their toolkit to be their own cheerleader at work.

Why do some young companies become unicorns, while others don't?

May and Pablo Dominguez provide listeners with a powerful framework of universally applicable principles that enable any company to effectively accelerate its ability to scale and grow.

Called The Unicorn Model™ and built on five foundational principles, the authors deliver a compelling narrative of stories and experiences in an easy-to-remember mnemonic, S.C.A.L.E.: Strategic speed, Constant experimentation, Accelerated value, Lean process, and Esprit de corps.

Title: Reinventing the Supply Chain: A 21st-Century Covenant with America

Author: Jack Buffington

Narrator: Chris Abernathy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:09:15

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-23

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Business Development

Summary:

When the COVID-19 pandemic led to a global economic 'shutdown' in March 2020, our supply chains began to fail, and out-of-stocks and delivery delays became the new norm. Contrary to public perception, the pandemic strain did not break the current system of supply chains; it merely exposed weaknesses and fault lines that were decades in the making, and which were already acutely felt in deindustrialized cities and depopulated rural towns throughout the United States.

Reinventing the Supply Chain explores the historical role of supply chains in the global economy, outlines where the system went wrong and what needs to be done to fix it, and demonstrates how a retooled supply chain can lead to the revitalization of American communities. Jack Buffington proposes a transformation of the global supply chain system into a community-based value chain, led by the communities themselves and driven by digital platforms for raising capital and blockchain technology.

Buffington proposes new solutions to problems that have been decades in the making. With clear analysis and profound insight, Buffington provides a clear roadmap to a more durable and efficient system.

Title: Reconstructing Inclusion: Making DEI Accessible, Actionable, and Sustainable

Author: Amri B. Johnson

Narrator: Mirron Willis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:32:39

Language: English

Release date: 01-31-23

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership, HR & Office Administration

Summary:

Organizations of all types are making unprecedented investments in unconscious bias training, diversity recruitment, and anti-racism education. Words like belonging and equity are on the list of aspirational outcomes for these efforts, but the pathways to those goals are unclear because their implementation has been reactionary, supplemental, and in too many instances cosmetic rather than systemic.

In Reconstructing Inclusion, Amri Johnson, CEO of Inclusion Wins, explores why that reactionary stance persists and provides a framework for designing a systematic approach that empowers all stakeholders in these efforts—everyone—to thrive.

In deconstructing and rebuilding inclusion's most fundamental concepts, Johnson illustrates an 'Inclusion System' that outlines the conditions critical to inclusion becoming normative—accessible, actionable, sustainable, and positively contributing to the organizational mission.

Reconstructing Inclusion offers a guide to better understanding the historical context of inclusion, a rethinking of the efforts organizations are undertaking now, and an actionable, robust approach to carrying this work into the future.
