Really good!

Enjoyed it even though it was more about being a great leader than the Title

Not all books are audible

The book is not bad. Overall its good. Lots of good information.

Its just that some books are meant or benefit more from old fashioned reading than an audible version of listing a series of lists of things to do. Not the performance fault, nor author, just the format of the book, I believe, is not the most suitable for this type of media. It was good. Not 5 star. 4 is good.

I found this book to bo very helpful.

I found this book made me consider things about myself I hadn't considered. . .

Nothing new

Struggle to finish. Nothing new and no real insights into how to deal with the problems that the book suggests.

Title: Theory U

Subtitle: Leading from the Future as It Emerges

Author: C. Otto Scharmer

Narrator: Wayne Shepherd

Format: Abridged

Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-16

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

New edition, expanded and updated.

With the release of Theory U almost 10 years ago, Otto Scharmer set in motion a revolution in thought. Scharmer explained that what we pay attention to and how we pay attention is key to what we create. What prevents us from attending to situations more effectively is that we aren't fully aware of and in touch with the inner place from which attention and intention originate. This is what Scharmer calls our blind spot. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self - the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration - in the realm of "presencing," a term coined by Scharmer that combines the concepts of presence and sensing.

Now, 10 years later, Scharmer revisits the phenomenon Theory U has become and updates and reports on the progress and evolution since initial release.

Members Reviews:

Theory U is a promotion and not textbook

Because and perhaps I expected to learn about a systematic approach to the practice of leadership, I was disappointed by the extensive promotion included and so little about the subject matter itself.

Transformational ideas clearly conveyed

So many parts of the book were encouraging and timely. I want to share with a number of people to cultivate discussion around turning these ideas into reality in our cities, organizations and out personal lives.

Title: Summary, Analysis & Review of The Arbinger Institute's Leadership and Self-Deception

Author: Instaread

Narrator: Tamara Ryan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-16

Publisher: Instaread

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Leadership and Self-Deception by the Arbinger Institute is a business fable that illustrates the ways that self-deception can undermine interpersonal relationships and productivity. It begins with a new product-line lead employee, Tom Callum, at the fictional Zagrum Company. He's meeting with the company's executive vice president, Bud Jefferson. Bud says that Tom has a problem with self-deception, as they all do, and begins a long meeting to mentor Tom on how to avoid self-deception. Kate Stenarude, president of Zagrum Company, joins Bud and Tom for the meeting and contributes her experiences.

Self-deception occurs when people look at another person as an objectified problem or threat rather than as a human being. The deception begins when they feel the urge to help another person, but betray that sense and instead justify the decision not to help by amplifying both their own virtues and the other person's perceived faults.

Please note: This is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book.

Members Reviews:

BUSINESS ANALYSIS THROUGH INNUENDO AND IMPLICATION

This is an overview of the actual book âLeadership and Self-Deception.â Kind of like an abbreviated âCliff's Notesâ for the FULL book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding the originalâs content to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire printed or E-version. This is an excellent example of how and why âInstareadâ provides such a useful and valuable service. First, as you will learn from Instaread's overview, this book is FICTION !! It uses a fictional account of an employee doing his job and how he relates to other employees and circumctances in fictional situations to make several "implied" points and suggestions by the authors. Fortunately for the reader, YOU now receive enough knowledge from this brief overview to make an informed ... buy/no-buy decision.

We're all lying to ourselves...

Bud says that Tom has a problem with self-deception, as they all do, and begins a long meeting to mentor Tom on how to avoid self-deception.

This Instaread summary saved me from reading a boring book. I heard good things about the Arbringer Institute's book on leadership, but after reading this summary I feel like I would have never finished it because I'm not a fan of business metaphors. This summary takes the 10 most important points about leadership and self-deception and cuts out the fluff. That was helpful for me, a to the point list of things I can improve on and why they matter. I highly recommend!

How to focus on solutions not blame

This book blurs the lines between fiction and non-fiction. It presents its concepts against the backdrop of characters discussing them. An interesting literary choice.

Title: Summary of Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

Subtitle: Includes Analysis

Author: Instaread

Narrator: Dwight Equitz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-16

Publisher: Instaread

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek advocates for a leadership style that focuses on serving others rather than pursuing shareholder goals or personal interests. Modern trends in leadership prioritize profits and executive bonuses over creating a healthy environment for employees. Leaders who think of themselves as serving their employees like family can increase job satisfaction and engagement, which reduces stress and increases productivity because employees feel secure. For example, in the US Marine Corps, the lowest-ranking soldiers eat first and the leaders eat last to ensure that everyone gets a chance to eat and feel cared for.

The best leaders create a circle of safety that encompasses the entire company, which employees can extend to the customers they serve. Poor leaders extend that circle of safety only to their immediate supporters, which increases stress for those outside the circle who may believe that their jobs are not secure.

Title: Why Simple Wins

Subtitle: Escape the Complexity Trap and Get to Work That Matters

Author: Lisa Bodell

Narrator: Steven Menasche

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-17-16

Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Imagine what you could do with the time you spend writing emails every day.

Complexity is killing companies' ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time. Why Simple Wins helps leaders and their teams move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today's corporate world to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value.

Lisa Bodell's simplification method has several unique principles:

This book is inspired by Bodell's passion for eliminating barriers to innovation and productivity. In it, she explains why change and innovation are so hard to achieve - and it's not what you might expect. The reality is this: we spend our days drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, emails, and reports. These are often self-created complexities that prevent us from getting to the meaningful work that truly matters.

Using simple stories and techniques, Why Simple Wins shows that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the busy work that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that we value.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

good story useful tools

albeit without concise direction on how to use unless you go back and listen to the book with the PDF in hand. tweaked my interest into her other tool offerings but unfortunately the process to obtain is less than simple so sadly future think doesn't eat its own dog food.

Missing the writer

This might sound a bit cranky but I do miss the fact that it's not the writer reading and speaking. The voice is not bad but it doesn't feel as powerful or true when it's not read by the writer. Especially this type of books.

Stunningly complex solutions to complexity

Lisa Bodell prescribes a spectacularly complex set of procedures in the name of helping your business simplify. The complication and specificity are truly stunningdown to telling readers exactly how many minutes to spend thinking about certain questions or performing certain steps in the labyrinth of procedures she gives. A much more helpful and impactful approach would be to state each principle and then show just enough diverse examples so that readers can go off and generalize the principle to all aspects of their lives. This approach is used extremely effectively by Stephen Covey and Simon Sinek.

In addition, the readers performance is the worst I have heard on Audible, save for Christopher Hitchens mumbling in his own books. The readers constant, exaggerated changes in intonation are at best bizarre, at worst extremely distracting to the listener.

Overall, a huge letdown of a book, especially one written about such an important topic in todays world.

Summary of Strengths Based Leadership by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie Includes Analysis

Preview:

Strengths Based Leadership by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie introduces listeners to the Gallup-designed survey that identifies a person's unique leadership strengths. Many leaders try to improve their skills by emulating other leaders, but in reality the most capable leaders are the ones who use their existing talents to provide what teams need.

The best way to discover the ideal traits of good leaders is to ask followers what traits have characterized their most positive leaders. When asked, most mentioned the same factors as necessary for them to want to follow a leader. According to the survey, those factors are trust, compassion, stability, and hope.

Different types of leaders have different ways of filling those needs. The 34 themes that the StrengthsFinder online test identifies range alphabetically from Achiever to Woo and can be grouped into four categories. Executing themes include Focus and Responsibility and revolve around a leader's ability...

Excellent advice to prepare for final interview

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this book provides excellent advice and concrete examples which will be particularly useful for those who have been asked to prepare for that final interview for a new leadership position by outlining how they will undertake their new role in the first 100 days.

Any additional comments?

It is disappointing that this new version of the book only provides access to the materials and downloads for the previous version of the book. Frustrating and annoying and seems lazy on the part of the provider not to have provided updated links when they are clearly available on the book's own website.

Title: Be the Business

Subtitle: CIOs in the New Era of IT

Author: Martha Heller

Narrator: Martha Heller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-30-16

Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Remember the '70s? Way back then, IT was a mainframe that sat in some room and only a few people had a key. Flash forward a decade, and IT was a limited set of systems irrelevant to the vast majority of employees and customers. But today, all of the sudden, technology belongs to everyone. Because of the suddenness of this revolution in technology adoption, most IT organizations have not had enough time to evolve into a "comfortable integration" with the rest of the company. This lack of comfortable integration has led to confusion over who is truly accountable for the return on technology investments, how much influence IT leaders should have over a company's business strategy, and whether CEOs need to hire Chief Digital Officers onto their senior leadership teams.

Through interviews with dozens of CIOs, Heller has created a snapshot of what CIOs are doing to lead IT in a climate where technology belongs to everyone. She addresses how CIOs are changing their operating models, their approaches to talent development, and their assessment of the new IT provider marketplace. Most importantly, Heller defines the top 10 skills and behaviors that CIOs will need to develop if they are going to be successful in an ever changing landscape. As a master storyteller, Heller incorporates philosophy, humor, and pragmatic advice into an audiobook that both informs and entertains.

Members Reviews:
