Title: Leading with Noble Purpose

Subtitle: How to Create a Tribe of True Believers

Author: Lisa Earle McLeod

Narrator: Hillary Huber

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-17

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Profit doesn't drive purpose. Purpose drives profit.

We made some incorrect assumptions about work, and those assumptions are killing us. We allowed a narrative that is solely about earnings to replace what we know to be true about human motivation.

Human beings are hardwired to seek purpose, but according to data, most people don't feel a sense of purpose in their work. Work has become a grind, an endless series of tasks that lack meaning.

Building upon her best seller Selling with Noble Purpose, leadership expert Lisa Earle McLeod tackles the employee engagement crisis by showing leaders how to put workplace meaning front and center. McLeod, whose clients include organizations like Google, Hootsuite, and Roche, asserts that many organizations are unconsciously squandering their greatest asset - their people's passion. By putting profit before purpose, organizations erode the very thing that makes a business great.

The narrative of profit, earnings, and bonuses was supposed to improve employee performance, but it had the opposite effect. It stripped the joy and meaning from work in ways that have a chilling effect on morale, performance, and ultimately profit. In this new book, McLeod shows leaders how to:

People want to make money and make a difference. Leading with Noble Purpose shows leaders how to do both.

Title: The Agile Mind-Set

Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-17

Publisher: Author's Republic

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Are you frustrated or disenchanted by the results of your Agile approach?

Does Agile sound like a good idea, but you're not sure how to explain it beyond roles, practices, and meetings?

Is your team going through the motions, but it's still business as usual?

The missing piece is the Agile mindset - the thinking that makes Agile processes work.

This book is your compass for the Agile journey. Without prescribing any process, practice, or tool, it will show you how practitioners approach:

Members Reviews:

This is also a Lean book thatâs easy to read

This is a âmust haveâ resource for Agile coaches to educate clients struggling with an âAgile transformationâ! Recent books on âAgileâ are often cookbooks, describing sequential steps for implementing some âAgile recipeâ. Gil says âWhile there is no single recipe for Agile to succeed, this book will show you what ingredients you, as and Agile chef would need for your recipeââ So, just as yeast is needed for bread to rise, an Agile mind-set is the essential ingredient for Agile to âriseâ. Some other books on Agile gloss over the need for an Agile mind-set, in effect ignoring the need for yeast to bake bread properly. Other sources presuppose that an Agile mind-set (the yeast) is already in-place. This is a colossal assumption thatâs incorrect more times than not. Compared with other Agile âhow toâ guides, Gilâs book instead reveals the raison d'tre behind Agile. Gil dives deeply into Agileâs complex underpinnings and misunderstood nuances, reaffirming Agileâs powerful potential when properly understood, embraced and supported across the entire organizational fabric. The Agile Manifesto begins with the statement that âwe have come to value: Individuals and interactions over process and toolsâ. This crucial Agile pillar is missed by many organizations. Gilâs section titled âPeople Are Not Resourcesâ shines a very bright light on this fundamental concept, helping us to realize that people comprise teams that evolve organically. Gil provides the same insight into the rest the Manifesto as well (because this author really âgets itâ). This is also a Lean book thatâs easy to read, providing much benefit in return for a small effort (and no waste). Gil clearly explains (and convinces us) why any Agile seeds planted wonât germinate until the organizational soil bed is properly amended with the abundant nutrients an Agile mind-set unleashes. Highly recommended.

Pursuing agility? Start with this book.

You can find a plenitude of books on processes and delivery methodologies that are often associated with Agile. Although this content is valuable, this same content is not enough for those wanting to successfully embrace agility. Understanding the essence of Agile is the one investment teams and firms should make prior to any internal change.

In a comprehensive, yet, succinct book, Gil explores the different facets of the agile mentality, all backed by Gil's extensive Agile and technical experience and expertise. In short, you won't find a better book to start your Agile journey.

Title: The 9 Types of Leadership

Subtitle: Mastering the Art of People in the 21st Century Workplace

Author: Beatrice Chestnut PhD

Narrator: Dina Pearlman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-31-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The 9 Types of Leadership demonstrates how to solve people problems on the job in a quick, efficient, and satisfying way through understanding personality patterns and motivations. In the past few years, mindfulness and other approaches to self-awareness have begun to transform the American workplace. But while it is increasingly widely accepted in the business world that the most direct route to success lies in adopting practices that actively promote a leader's self-awareness, social skill, and emotional intelligence, the best and most efficient path to developing a more conscious workforce often remains unclear.

The 9 Types of Leadership provides a pathway to greater self-awareness and social skillfulness. It will help you orient yourself when you get caught up in people problems that you don't know how to work your way out of.

By providing extremely detailed and accurate descriptions of nine recognizable personalities, The 9 Types of Leadership is an unmatched tool for business people to use to decode the mysteries involved in understanding why people do what they do, why we have conflicts with some people but not others, and how we can become aware of our blind spots. Most importantly, it can help leaders know themselves in a deeper way so they can more effectively lead others.

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

Such a thorough overview of the types. A must read for Enneagram enthusiasts.

Excellent book for all leaders to raise their consciousness and ...

Excellent book for all leaders to raise their consciousness and emotional intelligence. It will be most helpful for people who already know their type, or have a strong idea of what their type is. It will help you recognize your strengths, habits and motives and have a better understanding of the same for people around you. I love that it makes the point that we all have unique gifts and there isn't one "best" approach.

I highly recommend if you have interest in the Enneagram, or use it in coaching / consulting.

Great Guide for People Productivity

I bought this book and "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Knowledge" because I happened to overhear the author talking about her books in a San Francisco cafe. She was gracious, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work, which convinced me to check out her writing. I found in "The Complete Enneagram" an accurate and helpful psychological tool. I strongly recommend "The 9 Types of Leadership" as a companion and a kind of executive summary of "The Complete Enneagram." What I absolutely love about this book is that it quickly and simply maps out all the personality types encountered in work situations. Chestnut then provides clear, practical suggestions on how to get to the "high side" of project completion, workplace harmony, and contented leaders and employees, and how to avoid the "low side" of stress and less-than-desirable results. I found the lists of example behaviors for each personality type to be particularly helpful, and once again I was impressed by the thorough coverage of the subject. This book is not just about how to deal with subordinates or a boss, but it's also about how to manage oneself.

Title: Awakening Compassion at Work

Subtitle: The Quiet Power that Elevates People and Organizations

Author: Jane E. Dutton, Monica Worline

Narrator: Caroline Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-17

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

We are living in an epidemic of disengagement and despair that calls us to action. Awakening Compassion at Work answers the call, showing us new ways to enliven the humanity of work and in so doing address the suffering of the world and create an innovative, optimistic, and engaged workforce.

Scholars and consultants Monica Worline and Jane Dutton approach compassion in organizations through the lens of new research that helps us see what compassion is, how we can create it in our everyday work, and the benefits it offers to both individuals and organizations. They reveal why compassion is integral to recruiting and retaining talented people, essential to delivering high quality service and rapid innovation, and inextricably linked to engagement, collaboration, and adaptability. They even include a tool for assessing your organization's "compassion potential." This book gives us the tools to build skill in creating compassion and invigorating the humanity of our basic institutions.

Members Reviews:

Beautiful, Intelligent, Unique

This is a beautifully composed work that illustrates an alternative possibility for how we can (should!) engage one another in the workplace. For those who see âcompassionate workplaceâ as an oxymoron, this book will open your eyes to recognizing ways that each one of us can contribute to and help grow a more humane organization. The real-world examples of companies that have already embedded a culture of compassion into their daily lives are inspirational and heartwarming, but they also provide a road map for how others can aspire to and achieve similar results.

Articulate, intelligent, and clearly a labor of love by two experts in the field of compassion at work - authors Monica Worline and Jane Dutton - this is a work that should be read thoroughly, carefully, and shared with many.

You won't be the same person after reading this book!

Reading this book not only makes me aspire to be a more compassionate person but also shows me how to do it!

Worline and Dutton do an amazing job of providing a science-based trove on how to become a more passionate person, leader, and organization. They unpack years of research (both their own as well as other scholars in many fields) to help readers understand what compassion is and why it is so critical in a work context. There is always suffering in the workplace, whether generated in the doing of the work (such as a downsizing or an incivility) or outside of work (such as a personal or family illness or traumatic life event). I have certainly been the beneficiary of many compassionate responses in my own life from work colleagues - so I know they make a world of difference.

I find the four stage model of compassionate responding to be very intuitive and useful. Compassion indeed is the culmination of noticing, interpreting, feeling, and acting. For me, I realize that too often I want to move straight to action, but without the earlier steps my response is likely to be incomplete or even harmful. The stories the authors weave into the narrative are brilliant and inspiring -- they really unpack the complexities of compassion at work. It is so much more than being nice to others!

The second part of the book is focused on what it takes to build compassionate organizations.

Members Reviews:

For beginners

If you know anything about digital marketing (SEO/SEM) you should skip this book. It's mostly about their Growth Hacking Framework that is basically what to do with your website or how to allocate more resources to marketing or sales.

It has inspired me to write a book this weekend

Well, that was short and general. More of an article than a book. Don't recommend. Read some blogs. Information is accurate but not deep.

felt like a blog post

the book felt like a blog post with a lot of case studies that were more like ads for the authors company.

Lots of knowledge here!

Great audiobook. I felt as if I was having a business consultation with a personal motivational coach. I have a marketing background so some tactics I already knew, but I still found tremendous value in the psychological approaches to growth-hacking and entrepreneurship. Plenty of gems to go around with this book. I took so many notes. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the BEST MARKETING BOOK EVER!

The marketing ideas I got from this book have absolutely helped me take my SaaS business to the next level! I'm so grateful, thank you so much

Title: Getting to "Yes And"

Subtitle: The Art of Business Improv

Author: Bob Kulhan, Chuck Crisafulli - contributor

Narrator: Bob Kulhan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-11-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Amidst the deluge of advice for businesspeople, there lies an overlooked tool, a key to thriving in today's fast-paced, unpredictable environment: improvisation. In Getting to "Yes And" veteran improv performer, university professor, CEO, and consultant Bob Kulhan unpacks a form of mental agility with powers far beyond the entertainment value of comedy troupes.

Drawing on principles from cognitive and social psychology, behavioral economics, and communication, Kulhan teaches listeners to think on their feet and approach the most typical business challenges with fresh eyes and openness. He shows how improv techniques such as the "Yes, and" approach, divergent and convergent thinking, and focusing on being present can translate into more productive meetings, swifter decisions, stronger collaboration, positive conflict resolution, mindfulness, and more. Moving from the individual to the organizational level, Kulhan compiles time-tested teaching methods and training exercises into an instrumental guide that listeners can readily implement either as a party of one or a company of thousands.

Members Reviews:

You had me at 'YES AND'...

I devoured this book in 3 days and find it a tremendous combination of modern business ideology, innovation and interpersonal technique. Many communication and business books are thick with recycled ideas offering only a handful of useful nuggets. "Getting to Yes And" is engaging from the early pages. I like that Bob Kulhan explains the 'so what' factor of each lesson and also provides a full template of how to transfer these lessons to the workplace. As both a college educator and communication consultant, I find relevant value in the adaptability where I plan to draw content for use in the classroom with undergraduate students and in the training room with my adult learners. Business at every level is about relationships and I extend kudos to the author for sharing tools to serve virtually every industry I collaborate with. It is my new 'go to' resource.

Improvising Your Way to Creativity in Business

Getting to Yes And by Bob Kulhan should be a cornerstone resource for those in business strategy design, new product development, and innovation management. It is unique in that it takes techniques and skills from Improvisation and applies them to business situations. The core approach is to keep things positive, particularly in the idea generation stage, by promoting a "Yes And" environment rather than a "Yes But" atmosphere. In the process, Kulhan distinguishes and makes use of "divergent" versus "convergent" thinking in the innovation process. The book is well organized and structured. Each chapter applies his "Yes And" approach to a variety of managerial issues and situations. Each chapter presents a variety of "exercises" that managers can use in training sessions to promote "Yes And" thinking and to drive creativity and productivity.

Credit well spent

Any additional comments?

Loved this book. It summaries around 20 management and leadership books and is a great overview or refresher on the subject. Would recommend.

An asset to your leadership collection!

If you could sum up Management and Leadership in three words, what would they be?

Useful, dense, broad

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I listened to it mostly in the car.

Any additional comments?

I was curious to try this program as it's structure sounded interesting. I was glad I did. Sometimes I wish the author would go deeper on certain points, but obviously this program is intended to cover a vast amount of material, as opposed to a very small amount of material but more in depth. Overall I think it is a useful asset to your leadership collection. It is also much easier to compare and contrast styles when you here them back to back.

Insightful

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, especially the format. I found it easy to listen to, insightful, and helpful. I will use the concepts I learned at work.

Loved this book

Any additional comments?

Management and Leadership covered a lot of ground. It talked about the different strategies touted by various "experts" in the field. A foundational book for those who manage others.

Great for coaches

Any additional comments?

This is an easy listen with great content. I have started adopting some of the strategies into my coaching practice. Two thumbs up!

How about some chapter titles?

Kind of silly to listen to an anonymous speaker entitled "chapter 3". Frustrating, but I'll just listen and compare to other speakers on YouTube and see if I can figure out who I'm listening to....
