Author: Nicole Lipkin

Narrator: Dave Summers

Format: Original Recording

Length: 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-24-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Nicole Lipkin, author of What Keeps Leaders Up at Night, wants us to know that our brains are more sensitive than we think, susceptible to what is called "emotional contagion". That's when someone's "negative emotions spread virally" where our brains pick up on someone else's mood and mimic that emotion. That means if one employee is feeling disengaged, that feeling will spread. Added to the other symptoms like declines in productivity, performance, safety, retention and profits, this makes disengagement one of the most pervasive and unremarked upon problems in the workplace. Luckily, Nicole has ways to combat disengagement and get teams back on track. AMA is a world-class leadership development provider in more than 40 countries worldwide.

Author: Amy Henderson

Narrator: Jason P. Hilton

Length: 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-19-14

Publisher: Alex Coffey

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

If you want to grow your business and increase your profits then sooner or later you will need to outsource. Remember that you can't do everything yourself - and you never should try to do everything yourself. Outsourcing can free up your time to concentrate on the important things in your business. It also allows you to utilize the skills and expertise of other people that you may not have yourself. Remember that if you're not very good at something it will take you a long time to figure it out and complete it, and you probably won't make a very good job of it. Outsource tasks where it makes good business sense to do so and then find the right person for the job using the methods we have outlined. I hope that you will learn some things in this book and that it will encourage you to outsource. I wish you the best of luck with your business.

Release date: 11-25-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

It's tough for corporations to strike the right chord of corporate responsibility todays fickle economic climate. While more companies are starting green initiatives to project a positive public image, they are also cutting back on employee development. Carol Sanford, CEO of InterOctave Development Group and author The Responsible Business: Reimagining Sustainability and Success, contends that this kind of dissension creates a less than harmonious corporate culture, which ultimately leads to failure. In this episode of Edgewise, Carol explains that creating sustainability is not about outlining strategies and processes to hopefully yield return. It's about identifying your business mantra and making sure every aspect of the business is conducted in this spirit.
