Title: It's Not Rocket Science

Subtitle: 4 Simple Strategies for Mastering the Art of Execution

Author: Dave Anderson

Narrator: Dave Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-18

Publisher: The Dave Anderson Corporation

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Stop chasing hot trends and start driving real growth. It's Not Rocket Science blasts through the trends and false promises permeating the business world to help you and your company get back to basics and get things done.

Why doggedly pursue the "next big thing" when the most effective drivers of growth are right under your nose? This audiobook asserts that you've already heard, been taught, and know well the key fundamentals that spell business success, and presents a compelling, four-strategy blueprint for returning your business culture and strategies to a rock-solid foundation of execution excellence.

Each chapter opens with "The Challenge", which outlines a current condition that exists due to a departure from common sense behaviors, and tasks you with following the appropriate execution principles to get your business on the right track. After a thorough explanation of "what" and "why" each chapter gives you the actionable "how" so you can implement these valuable steps and master the art of execution in your organization. Shifting sands do not make for a sustainable structure. If your organization is to be robust and strong enough to weather any storm, the strength must come from the very core: the ability for each member of your team to execute daily and effectively towards your organization's most compelling goals. Frankly, the last things most organizations need is another goal they'll miss because they can't execute well. This book reminds you of the four timeless execution methods and strategies that have proven themselves over centuries, and shows you how they are implemented in today's business environment.

Today's flash in the pan may be superficially intriguing, but is it really that much different from yesterday's "hot tip." Fundamentals are fundamental for a reason, and It's Not Rocket Science is the commonsense guide to putting away flavor-of-the-month toys and getting down to business.

Title: Rise: The Reincarnation of an Entrepreneur

Author: Michael Erath

Narrator: Joel Richards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-18

Publisher: Lioncrest Publishing

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

When the housing market crashed in 2009, Michael Erath lost everything. Due to a combination of declining sales, betrayals from key staff, and his own blind spots, Michael went from owning two multimillion dollar businesses to almost destroying his marriage, losing his home and companies, and struggling to make ends meet. But he didn't let failure keep him down. Instead, he learned from his mistakes and rose back to success.

Michael's journey inspired him to help others avoid the mistakes he made by teaching them a simple and holistic system to bring clarity, discipline, accountability, and balance into their work and personal lives. In Rise, Michael recounts his remarkable story with brutal honesty and self-reflection. He demonstrates how systemizing a business and building healthy, open, and honest leadership teams can help business leaders free themselves from the control their business has over them and find time to pursue other passions.

Part refreshingly honest memoir and part guide for entrepreneurs, Rise will show you how to get out of your own way and live your ideal life.

"Michael's leadership and guidance has been instrumental to the success and cohesiveness of our management team.

Title: Summary: Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss

Subtitle: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers | Key Ideas in 1 Hour or Less

Author: Millionaire Mindset Publishing

Narrator: Conner Goff

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-10-18

Publisher: Millionaire Mindset Publishing

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Note: this is a summary and not the original book.

Tim Ferriss is an angel investor and advisor to various tech start-ups such as Facebook, Twitter, and Uber, among others. But perhaps he is most popular for his podcasts that feature guests from various disciplines, covering a wide array of topics from athletics to metaphysics. His podcast The Tim Ferriss Show has been downloaded over 80 million times, dubbing Tim "The Oprah of Audio."

Tools of Titans began as Tim's personal project to summarize more than 10,000 pages of his notes. The end-result is a compendium of tips and tidbits from experts, influencers, and people who are generally considered as success stories. These are people who, like Tim, are titans or super-humans, in the sense that they have accomplished great things in their respective fields, and are driving significant changes in the world in their own ways.

Contributing guests include athletic power couple Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece, action star turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, philosopher Alain de Botton, journalist Malcolm Gladwell, and AcroYoga cofounder Jason Nemer, among others.

For Tim, Tools of Titans is not just a compilation of quotations, but a toolkit full of results-driven tactics and philosophies that worked for successful people and for him. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he is not a self-made man because he has had a lot of help along the way by standing on the shoulders of giants. Tim made the shoulders of giants more accessible to listeners, and this summary makes it even more easy to digest.

Well done...

I highly recommend this book to those who needs motivation and inspiration.There are so many nuggets of wisdom from so many experts, that I think many people would derive significant benefit from a good read. Tim's at his usual best in not only extracting the key ideas and principles from experts he collaborates with, but manages to write very effectively. I've learned much from this and anticipate continuing to learn more and dramatically improve various aspects of my daily life.This is a well summarized book indeed.

From an inspiring voice in the movement for gender equality, a practical guide to achieving success through a new kind of leadership - rooted in purpose and activism for social change

We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity for women. Yet despite centuries of progress, true equality remains out of reach. What will it take to bring us to a tipping point?

To leadership expert and social entrepreneur Claudia Chan, the key is shifting to a "me for we" mind-set, where individuals root their effort in a mission far bigger than personal success, and getting everyone - women and men - to work together for social change. By lifting others, we not only make the world better, but we can also discover our greatest meaning and achieve lasting fulfillment. In This Is How We Rise, Claudia encourages listeners to join a new breed of leaders and become change makers for gender equality. Distilling wisdom and insights from her own personal and professional journey, she shares key lessons learned and offers a toolbox of 13 foundational habits. Claudia shows how to define and develop your own purpose, vision, and pathway to becoming a thriving agent for good.

Whether you own your own business or are part of the corporate world, whether you're at the top of your field or are just starting out in your career, you have the power to lead change and achieve extraordinary success in all areas of your life. This Is How We Rise will show you how to unleash it.

Title: Summary of Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALS Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Note: This is a book summary - not the original version - of the following title: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.

Original book description:

In the blockbuster best-selling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake.

Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Threes Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help US forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed all but lost. In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership - at every level - is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.

Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the US and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.

Since its release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required reading for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders.

Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Winner of The Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award!

After two decades in the trenches of helping companies design and build better, more efficient operations, Karen Martin has pinpointed why performance improvement programs usually fail: Chaos, the sneaky but powerful force that frustrates customers, keeps business leaders awake at night, and saps company morale.

In The Outstanding Organization, Karen offers a toolbox for combating chaos by creating the organizational conditions that will allow your improvement efforts to return greater gains.

Proven, practical, and surprisingly simple, Karen's system focuses on four key behaviors for organizational excellence - Clarity, Focus, Discipline, Engagement - that, once instilled into a company's DNA, open the door to sustainable growth and profit. This well-organized, inviting-to-read guide reveals everything you need to know about:

Although you don't like the chaos that you're currently coping with, you've probably come to accept it. You don't have to if you follow the path Karen lays out.

This no-nonsense book helps you get to the crux of the problem, so you can inject the sensible, disciplined calm that enables the levels of performance and innovation mandated by today's business environment - and help your organization become truly outstanding.

Members Reviews:

Great Practical Ideas

This is one of the most captivating business books I've read in several years. Karen very accurately describes many of the primary contributors to corporate chaos and offers practical ways to begin addressing them. There are several suggestions I'm looking to implement immediately in my sphere of influence like developing an onboarding process for new hires, and utilizing more simplistic metrics to measure our business.

From the foundations of building an organization upon sound practices like developing an end-to-end culture of continuous improvement, ensuring everyone is empowered as a problem solver, to helping push through when things get tough. Karen has us focus on four key chaos killers; driving for a level of clarity needed to be successful at a process/task, increasing focus by avoiding the multi-tasking myth, developing higher levels of discipline by finishing things 100% to completion for greater learnings, and lastly valuing the at deeper level the contributions of others thoughts and experiences thereby encouraging higher engagement.

Like many improvement methods, Karen's ideas transcend the business world and actually has me thinking about how I can work with my kids to further develop how they approach problems. The additional things I really appreciated about this book was her approach of standing on the shoulder of the greats by offering very practical suggestions for using or rethinking what has already been done.

Title: The Nordstrom Way to Customer Experience Excellence, 3rd Edition

Subtitle: Creating a Values-Driven Service Culture

Author: Robert Spector, breAnne O. Reeves

Narrator: Eric Pollins

Format: Unabridged

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The fully revised and updated edition of the classic book about Nordstrom's extraordinary customer service.

In this new edition of the management classic, the authors explore in-depth the core values of the culture that have made Nordstrom synonymous with legendary customer service. These essential values have enabled Nordstrom to survive and adapt to dramatic market shifts regularly since 1901, and the new edition explains how the Nordstrom approach can be emulated by any organization - in any industry - in every corner of the world. This is not a book about selling shoes or clothes or cosmetics or jewelry. It is a book about how underlying values such as respect, trust, compensation and, even fun, are the building blocks of a culture where employees are empowered to consistently deliver a world-class experience to customers.

Nordstrom believes that the employee experience determines the customer experience, and that when you attract and reward people who are comfortable in a service-oriented culture, then everyone succeeds - both individually and collectively. No wonder Nordstrom is one of only five companies to make Fortune's "Best Companies to Work For" and "Most Admired" lists every year since those surveys have been taken.

With new interviews from senior Nordstrom executives and family members, the book explains how to successfully respond to today's tech-savvy, time-crunched customers who demand a convenient, seamless, painless, personal experience across all channels. Nordstrom gives its frontline people all the digital tools necessary to satisfy the customer - and your organization must do the same, if it wants to adapt.The authors show what it takes to earn brand loyalty, lead through change and uncertainty, and combine extraordinary brick-and-mortar with online experiences.

'The single most important reason we try to provide great service is this: It enables us to sell more,' says co-president Blake Nordstrom, great-grandson of the founder. 'The best way for our company to achieve results is to do what's best for the customer.'

In this book, listeners will find:

Five Stars

Great, uplifting read.

Staying Relevant in a Fast Changing World

How does a venerable company over 100 years old stay relevant in a world of technology and e-commerce? Apparently by keeping the customer first. this book explores Nordstrom's commitment to its customers as well as the strategies they use to stay fresh, fun and adaptable. the author has made a career about writing about Nordstrom. this book is filled with interviews. although the suggestions are rather broad, they are valid. I remember years ago living in NYC the major department stores were an experience in and of them selves. Expensive yes but unrivaled in making every shopper feel special. But as the economy tightened and things changed, most cut their strongest positive, customer service. they lost their exclusivity by slapping a label on the same item you could buy significantly cheaper at a discount department story.
