Title: Startup Leadership: How Savvy Entrepreneurs Turn Their Ideas Into Successful Enterprises

Author: Derek Lidow

Narrator: Anthony Haden Salerno

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 05-12-21

Summary:

Only a small fraction of entrepreneurs lead their enterprises to a successful reality. But, sadly, even if their enterprise does become successful, they can still fail when their companies succeed. As the enterprise becomes more successful, the boards of directors and other stakeholders want to see that business succeed in the futureand they dont usually see that future with the founding entrepreneur leading the way. It happened to Steve Jobs. It has happened to thousands of other entrepreneurs and it can happen to youunless you learn how to be more than just an entrepreneur and more than just a leader. In order to avoid their mistakes you need to walk the walk of an Entrepreneurial Leader, right on the razors edge. Being an Entrepreneurial Leader is more than just being an entrepreneur plus leader. Entrepreneurs have certain needs, wants, and desires for their companies. But so do the people who make up that enterprise. Its difficult for founding entrepreneurs to make room for others thoughts, concerns, opinions, and desires when it comes to their babies. Why? Because entrepreneurship is a fundamentally selfish act. You began your company because you wanted to be your own boss. Most of your motivations for starting the business were about you. And running a company in this mode of thinking ultimately leads to failure. Leadership, on the other hand, is about selflessness and making those around you feel they will be successful. A leader can take a team of individuals with differing wants, needs, and visions and get everyone on the same page. A leader makes everyone feel like they are being heard, are appreciated, and are winning. But to be a successful entrepreneur, you cant just be the selfless commander-in-chief. In order for you to be successful and grow with your enterprise you must somehow balance the two opposing natures of the entrepreneur and the leader. In Startup Leadership entrepreneur and professor Derek Lidow describes the narrow boundary between these two opposing domains and provides you with the skills and tools to become an Entrepreneurial Leader. Based on Lidows popular and well-respected class Entrepreneurial Leadership, Startup Leadership distills Lidows insights gained from his experience and others who have struggled as entrepreneurs and leadersas well as from extensive researchto present the best practices for growing with the company you created. It provides the tools needed to avoid the unseen traps most entrepreneurs fall victim to and needed to achieve the delicate balancing act that all Entrepreneurial Leaders must perform in order to successfully lead their team, enterprise, and themselves to lasting success.

Title: Rebellion, Rascals, and Revenue: Tax Follies and Wisdom through the Ages

Author: Joel Slemrod, Michael Keen

Narrator: Walter Dixon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:28:49

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-21

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics

Summary:

Governments have always struggled to tax in ways that are effective and tolerably fair. Sometimes they fail grotesquely, as when, in 1898, the British ignited a rebellion in Sierra Leone by imposing a tax on huts—and, in repressing it, ended up burning the very huts they intended to tax. Sometimes they succeed astonishingly, as when, in eighteenth-century Britain, a cut in the tax on tea massively increased revenue. In this entertaining book, two leading authorities on taxation, Michael Keen and Joel Slemrod, provide a fascinating and informative tour through these and many other episodes in tax history, both preposterous and dramatic—from the plundering described by Herodotus and an Incan tax payable in lice to the (misremembered) Boston Tea Party and the scandals of the Panama Papers. Along the way, readers meet a colorful cast of tax rascals, and even a few tax heroes.

While it is hard to fathom the inspiration behind such taxes as one on ships that tended to make them sink, Keen and Slemrod show that yesterdays tax systems have more in common with ours than we may think. Georgian England's window tax now seems quaint, but was an ingenious way of judging wealth unobtrusively. And Tsar Peter the Great's tax on beards aimed to induce the nobility to shave, much like todays carbon taxes aim to slow global warming.

Title: Create Amazing: Turning Your Employees into Owners for Explosive Growth

Author: Greg Graves

Narrator: Rich Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:19:47

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-21

Publisher: Ascent Audio

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

Summary:

There are more than 10,000,000 employee owners in America today. The results of employees owning a piece of the pie has been proven throughout American history, even before ESOPs became IRS law in 1974. Employees with even a small capital interest in their firms' successes are more likely to stay, have greater loyalty and pride, are willing to work hard, and make more suggestions for improvement.

Economic injustice caused by wealth disparity is quickly becoming the hottest debated topic in America. Employee ownership is not the only answer for economic justice but it can be a critical puzzle piece for tens of millions of Americans where the current inherent disadvantage of circumstance stands in their way.

Create Amazing demonstrates how ownership can provide the ultimate competitive advantage to a growing company—and the nation. Greg Graves, who operated one of the most successful ESOPs in American history, shares: the history of employee ownership in America and the principles of its purpose; why employee ownership is a viable solution fiscally and futuristically; what an ESOP is, what it does, and what's happening in Washington DC to promote this model; how ESOPs work, and how they're structured legally, fiduciarily, and financially; and the impact of ESOPs on America and on employee owners personally.

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-21

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Business Development

Summary:

Marketers are faced with a stark and challenging dilemma: customers demand deep personalization, but they are increasingly leery of offering the type of personal data required to make it happen. As a solution to this problem, Customer Data Platforms have come to the fore, offering companies a way to capture, unify, activate, and analyze customer data. CDPs are the hottest marketing technology around today, but are they worthy of the hype? Customer Data Platforms takes a deep dive into everything CDP so you can learn how to steer your firm toward the future of personalization.

Over the years, many of us have built byzantine 'stacks' of various marketing and advertising technology in an attempt to deliver the fabled 'right person, right message, right time' experience. This can lead to siloed systems, disconnected processes, and legacy technical debt. CDPs offer a way to simplify the stack and deliver a balanced and engaging customer experience. Customer Data Platforms breaks down the fundamentals, including how to: understand the problems of managing customer data; understand what CDPs are and what they do (and don't do); organize and harmonize customer data for use in marketing; build a safe, compliant first-party data asset that your brand can use as fuel; and more.
