Title: The Dance of Change [Russian Edition]

Subtitle: The Challenges of Sustaining Momentum in Learning Organizations

Author: Peter M. Senge, Art Kleine

Narrator: Stanislav Koncevich

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-11-16

Publisher: Olimp-business

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations - despite interest, resources, and compelling business results - can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo.

Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon 25 years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, listeners will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges.

These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted - an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example - the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives - lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces.

This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety;" the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company.

Title: Chapter One

Subtitle: You Have the Power to Change Stuff

Author: Daniel Flynn (Co-founder Thankyou)

Narrator: Daniel Flynn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-16-16

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The world probably doesn't need another book. And while this might seem like one, it's so much more. It's an invitation. And it's addressed to you. To inspire you to challenge everything, to remind you that you can turn ideas into reality and to give you the opportunity to be part of a bold idea that could change the course of history.

Chapter One is the story of three kids from Melbourne, Australia, with zero experience in business, who had an idea and the crazy belief that we all have the power to change stuff. It started with the world water crisis (and how to end it) but has developed into an award-winning consumer goods brand that empowers millions of people to fight poverty with every munch of muesli, sip of water or pump of hand wash.

Challenge your thinking. And that's just the beginning. This is the story of epic proportions by Thankyou co-founder Daniel Flynn about Thankyou's gut-wrenching decisions, wild mistakes and daring moves in business, marketing and social enterprise so far. You'll laugh at their boldness, cry at their failings and be inspired by their determination. But more than that, you'll understand that no matter your walk of life, you too have the power to change stuff.

Members Reviews:

Inspiring, refreshing, and unexpected.

I was generally familiar with the Thankyou story. As such I thought this would be a good read, but I didnt expect to be challenged in my thinking quite this way. A brilliantly compiled narrative, managing to both inspire the reader (or listener) to dream big, while also being ok with starting small and being ok with imperfection. Very needed.

Amazing! Incredible! Inspiring!

This book has changed my life! What these guys have achieved and are working towards makes the world a better place!

Do stuff that matters.

A book about making a difference by by being different. Not simply a "how to" book from someone who has made it, but a "why to" book by someone who is still making it.

Thankyou, awesome company! Get to the UK ASAP

Better off buying book but that's tricky from UK. Good story. Not such a fan of self help side but I never am

I love this true story

Daniel captives you with his personal why and the first chapter, of what I hope will be a long story. It encourages me to find mine.

Worth every cent of my investment of chapter one and thankyou products.

Title: Service Excellence Is as Easy as PIE: Perception Is Everything

Author: Liz Jazwiec

Narrator: Liz Jazwiec

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-14-16

Publisher: Fire Starter Publishing

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Most of us work ourselves silly focusing on quality, demonstrated outcomes, and proven results. That's a good thing. Yet too often we often stop short of the final step: zeroing in on how all our hard work comes across to the patient or customer. Why do we spend so much time making sure the ingredients are right...and so little time thinking about perception?

Liz Jazwiec, award-winning author of Eat That Cookie! and Hey Cupcake!, asks (and answers) this question in her latest book. In Service Excellence Is as Easy as PIE: Perception Is Everything, she deploys her trademark sense of humor and shares some practical and relatable ways to zone in on and improve service.

This latest book in Liz's "treat trilogy" does a delicious job of explaining the tools and tactics that form the whipped-cream smiley on the pie of service excellence. Not only does she explain how to generate powerful impressions and improve perceptions, she folds lots of entertaining stories into the mix.

Realistic, down to earth, and wickedly witty, PIE is perfect for everyone in health care or any other service industry. It's filled with ideas that are surprising, simple, and, yes, easy as you know what.

Title: Summary: Tetlock and Gardner's Superforecasting Summary: The Art and Science of Prediction

Author: Ant Hive Media

Narrator: Don Moffit

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-16

Publisher: Ant Hive Media

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Tetlock and Gardner's New York Times best seller: Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction

Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight, and Tetlock has spent the past decade trying to figure out why. What makes some people so good? And can this talent be taught?

In Superforecasting, Tetlock and coauthor Dan Gardner offer a masterwork on prediction, drawing on decades of research and the results of a massive, government-funded forecasting tournament. The Good Judgment Project involves tens of thousands of ordinary people - including a Brooklyn filmmaker, a retired pipe installer, and a former ballroom dancer - who set out to forecast global events. Some of the volunteers have turned out to be astonishingly good. They've beaten other benchmarks, competitors, and prediction markets. They've even beaten the collective judgment of intelligence analysts with access to classified information. They are "superforecasters".

In this groundbreaking and accessible book, Tetlock and Gardner show us how we can learn from this elite group. Weaving together stories of forecasting successes (the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound) and failures (the Bay of Pigs) and interviews with a range of high-level decision makers, from David Petraeus to Robert Rubin, they show that good forecasting doesn't require powerful computers or arcane methods.

Title: Summary: Patrick M. Lencioni's The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business

Author: Ant Hive Media

Narrator: Kevin Theis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-16

Publisher: Ant Hive Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Patrick M. Lencioni's The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business

There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No. New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are. In this book, Lencioni brings together his vast experience and many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books and delivers a first: a cohesive and comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational health provides.

Simply put, an organization is healthy when it is whole, consistent, and complete; and when its management, operations, and culture are unified. Healthy organizations outperform their counterparts, are free of politics and confusion, and provide environments where star performers never want to leave. Lencioni's first nonfiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking, approachable model for achieving organizational health - complete with stories, tips, and anecdotes from his experiences consulting to some of the nation's leading organizations. In this age of informational ubiquity and nanosecond change, it is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for conducting business in a new way - one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.

This summary is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the time to listen to the whole thing. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer.

Learn How to Do Product Backlog Right

This is a short but informative course that teaches the reader how to develop a product backlog list. The book is filled with important information as well as tips from the author's experiences. It is a great book.

Contained useful tips and techniques to manage product backlog

Contained useful tips and techniques to manage product backlog. Clear and detailed examples made learning the processes super easy. Iâm not sure how the author simplified such a complex topic enough to make it comprehensible for someone like me who has average skills, but they did so, and Iâm quite pleased. Would recommend.

Helpful breakdown of the Product Backlog in Scrum.

If you are unsure of what a Product Backlog might be, this could be a good place to start. Thanks.

Title: What Every Manager Should Know About Big Data and Data Science

Author: Lars Nielsen, Noreen Burlingame, Robert Masters

Narrator: Mindy Grall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-03-16

Publisher: New Street Communications, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The need for precise, actionable, real-time Business Intelligence (BI) lies at the heart of the role of Big Data in modern commerce. In turn, the art of Data Science lies at the nexus of Big Data and BI, providing the essential methods by which BI can be extracted from Big Data's great black mass of constantly flowing, unstructured information.

This combination has a created a new profession: an elite and specialized class of highly-compensated professionals specially skilled at data cleaning, analysis, and visualization. We call them Data Scientists, and their evolving role in the organization is one about which managers must have a clear understanding.

Integrating Data Scientists with your organization is often a delicate process involving the redefinition of traditional roles within the enterprise and dealing with issues of territoriality amongst peers.

To accomplish this task, managers need a firm knowledge of the what and whys of Data Science, the specific BI needs it is uniquely positioned to service, and the processes by which it functions.

Such is the knowledge this important book provides.

Members Reviews:

Vital information clearly explained

Introducing Big Data and Data Science practices into the legacy enterprise is a complex and challenging task. Nielsen & co. provide solid explanations of just what the problems and pitfalls are, and how to avoid them. An extremely valuable "listen." (And the narration is excellent as well.)

A good quick little book but perhaps too much on specific technologies vendors

I was looking for a book that would help be communicate these principles to line managers and to help me help them better. I give it a B+/A-. It started strong, really explaining what managers should now, but about 3/4 the way through went down a rabbit hole of explaining specific technologies and vendors, all of which in a few years will change. I would not expect any manager (aside those in analytics or a data center) to know half of this, let alone every manager. That made the title seem slightly misleading. The good news is this is so short so that was not too much time.
