Members Reviews:

A great parallel between leadership in corporates and in orchestra

Interestingly enough I meant to buy Itay Talgam book called the ignorant maestro, however copyright limitations stopped the purchase. Instead, I bought this book since it is pretty much the same notion.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised and happy to have come across this wonderful book.

The parallel is drawn in a clear way, the examples are vivid and the message taken is so valuable. I must praise the narrator whose skills contributed largely to the joy of this book.

The Meastro certainly can Conduct!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Maestro to be better than the print version?

Haveing read the print version first I think they are both excellent.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the mnagement principles are unfolded through the fable

What about Oliver Wyman???s performance did you like?

All of it.

Great Concept

What I really liked about this book was the focus on using a diversity of talent and perspective to create a great and effective organization by getting people to really listen to each other and incorporate the other's perspectives into their thinking.

Title: AdaptAbility

Subtitle: How to Survive Change You Didn't Ask For

Author: M. J. Ryan

Narrator: M. J. Ryan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-29-09

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

That is the promise of AdaptAbility, best-selling author and executive coach M. J. Ryan's paradigm-shifting new book on not merely surviving but thriving when change is required.

Why is it so hard to accept change? Paradoxically, it is for the very reason that our brains usually work so well; we are designed to learn something and make it automatic. The problem is that when circumstances change, our "efficient" brains keep trying to do things the same old way.

In AdaptAbility, Ryan provides strategies to retrain your brain and optimize your response to change, step by step: by first accepting the new reality, then expanding your options, and finally, taking effective action. She offers cutting-edge tools for becoming calmer, less fearful, and more flexible, creative, and resourceful in your thinking. Best of all, as your "adapt-ability" increases, so does your confidence that you will be able to face whatever life sends your way.

Title: Womenomics

Subtitle: Write Your Own Rules for Success

Author: Claire Shipman, Katty Kay

Narrator: Gabra Zackman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-09

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Women have power. In Womenomics, journalists Shipman and Kay deal in facts. Companies with more women managers are more profitable and report higher levels of employee satisfaction. With a new generation of women who are demanding more flexible ways to work, you have a workplace revolution that is great news for professional women and for businesses alike.

It is personal. Womenomics shows women how to redefine success, be more productive, and have more satisfying careers that don't require an all-or-nothing lifestyle.

It is possible. Shipman and Kay show women how to chart an empowering, exhilarating course to a richer life.

Inspiring, practical, and persuasive, Womenomics offers a groundbreaking blueprint for changing the way you live and work - with advice, guidance, and fact-based support that proves you don't have to do it all to have it all.

Editorial Reviews:

For the harried female professional, this will be a welcome source for problem solving, brainstorming, and proven strategies for negotiating a different type of nine-to-five with her employer. Narrator Gabra Zackman sounds soothing and self-assured throughout, a style that underscores the underlying message of the entire narrative: Women are the secret assets of any corporation - as demonstrated by research and autobiographical anecdotes. As the author covers economic analysis, as well as the dilemmas of individual female employees, Zackman's tone is slightly sarcastic when called for. Appropriately, Zackman's voice is firm when delivering the book's bottom-line message that women are major contributors at senior levels of organizations.

Critic Reviews:

"Womenomics describes the workplace trend that finally makes it possible for women to be successful and sane at the same time. And happily, it's a recession-friendly formula. (Tina Brown, founder, The Daily Beast)

"Womenomics makes a compelling statement about the financial impact women can have in the workplace and offers valuable ideas for capitalizing on this trend, even in this economic climate." (Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook )

"Employers should be listening to what talented women want and use this book to hold up their end of the bargain, so that the best and brightest can have both a job and a life." (Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School)

Members Reviews:

Great book

The book was great and the reader starts out great, nice pace. Until chapter1, then she slows to a very slow pace. I have an I pod, so I put the speed on fast. Since I "read" while driving I do not want to fall asleep. At the fast speed I could understand her and stay awake. I recommend the book to all women. Yes I am male. It helped me too. I saw the authors at the College of Notre Dame of MD. They were great. Read chapter 5 GUILT , they do a great job!!!

Excellent insights and advice

If you could sum up Womenomics in three words, what would they be?

Insightful, timely, helpful

Whats an idea from the book that you will remember?

You can get what you want if you are strategic and thoughtful.

Any additional comments?

Great tips, thoughtfully written, easy listen.

I really wanted to LOVE LOVE it.

What made the experience of listening to Womenomics the most enjoyable?

Overall; a decent/good "read". The first time I listened to this book, I LOVED IT.
