Length: 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Publisher's Summary:

To John Baldoni, leadership doesn't change just because of a bad economy. When leadership is about people, whether it be training the next generation of leaders or just stopping to chat with other employees, that stays the same even during a recession. It is a leader's job to inspire confidence in their people so that they will remain resilient during the hard times and remain in the company when things get better.

Title: Rick Lepsinger on Aligning Leadership Style with the Company's Mission

Author: Rick Lepsinger

Narrator: Dave Summers

Format: Original Recording

Length: 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

James Sinegal, cofounder of Costco, isn't your average CEO. His office overlooks a parking lot. He sits at a metal desk with a metal chair. His salary is less than half a million dollars (bonus included!), dramatically less than other CEOs, especially given the value he brings to his company. But in a company that's all about thin margins, it's the perfect attitude for a leader. Compare him to the auto company executives who flew to Washington in private jets to ask for bailout money. When the leader's attitude matches the company mission and goals, that's what Rick Lepsinger calls "alignment" in his new book, Closing the Execution Gap. He points out that an organization's leaders have to do more than just write the mission statement, they have to live the values they put forth and lead by example.

Publisher's Summary:

It's a challenge to lead any employee but when a large number of them are mobile and don't even show up in the office, the stakes are raised even further. Today's technology makes it easier but David Clemons and Michael Kroth want to remind you that cell phones and email are tools, not a solution. The smartest leaders don't just hand their employees a Blackberry and send them on their way; they figure out how to use those tools to engage their mobile workers and keep them motivated, everything a face-to-face leader would do, just at a distance.

Format: Original Recording

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In his new book, Build for Change: Revolutionary Customer Engagement Through Continuous Digital Innovation, Alan Trefler discusses the divergence that is becoming more and more visible between successful leading companies and the not so successful companies. Trefler argues that consumers are becoming more empowered and are gaining the upper hand against big businesses that provide essential services for them. Trefler says that it is now up to companies to start determining the intent of the customer, and what keeps them coming back for more. To do this, companies must leave behind traditional management approaches and adopt a new system which looks at customers holistically.

Format: Original Recording

Length: 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In The Road to Reinvention: How to Drive Disruption and Accelerate Transformation, author Josh Linkner discusses re-inventing, creating something anew, and imagining what "can-be" instead of "what-is". Linkner suggests several strategies for re-invention, but one of the most important is the habit of pushing the envelope and having an ongoing re-invention approach, where companies are constantly changing all aspects of their business. To be successful, Linkner states that everyone must be able to re-invent, innovate, and adapt, and this is for employees working on all levels of the business.

Members Reviews:

Josh Linker is brilliant but...

the host could have done a better job of asking questions that segway into next topics smoothly. As a result the interview seems a bit patchy.

Title: Dave Gray on How Games at Work Inspire Creativity

Author: Dave Gray

Narrator: Dave Summers

Format: Original Recording

Length: 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-14

Publisher: American Management Association

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

According to Dave Gray in his new book, Gamestorming, playing with office supplies is not a waste of time. Whipping out a stack of post-its in a meeting and jotting down notes or sketching ideas is actually helpful; otherwise all those ideas have to stay inside your head, getting lost and confused. Writing out ideas, moving them around like pieces in a game, and collaborating with others makes for faster meetings and more creativity. Every company needs those creative ideas to reach the top even just stay there.

Publisher's Summary:

Training can't be a rote process; for the most effective results, job training needs to be customized to each specific audience. Sometimes it even needs to start backwards, focusing on the result first and then moving back to the process. That way training becomes streamlined, more effective, and costs less. In his new book, Training on Trial: How Workplace Learning Must Reinvent Itself to Remain Relevant, Jim Kirkpatrick explains how to continue the training process, constantly adapting the business model.
